Скачать или смотреть Governor Newsom: Facts are facts on climate change

(15 Sep 2020) Visiting an animal rescue facility just hours after meeting with US President Donald Trump, California Governor Gavin Newsom reiterated his stand that there is a scientific consensus about climate change that is making his state hotter and drier, leading to more devastating wildfires.
"It's not a belief system, it's about acknowledging science," Newsom said as animals could be heard in the background.
Trump traveled to Northern California earlier Monday to be briefed by Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom and other state and federal officials.
He contended anew that Democratic state leaders are to blame for failing to rake leaves and clear dead timber from forest floors.
Trump offered no evidence to support his claim, and wildfire experts and forest managers say raking leaves makes no sense for vast US wilderness andmforests.
And many of the blazes have roared through coastal chaparral and grasslands, not forest.
But during their televised meeting, Newsom dropped the fiery tone he has employed in recent weeks about climate change and its role in five of the largest fires California has ever seen.
Instead, he engaged the president in a respectful conversation that included both men hailing their good relationship.
