Governor Jerry Brown
Governor Jerry Brown’s aide wants Americans to treat climate change like World War III and Brown is blaming the wildfires on climate change/climate chaos/global warming despite the fact that slews of scientists are telling him that is not the cause.
Flanked by firefighter used as props, he addressed the wildfires in front of the TV cameras Monday.
The wilderness fire was “a real wake-up call” to reduce the carbon pollution “that is in many respects driving all of this,” he said.
“It’s a new normal,” he said in August. “California is burning.”
Brown is embroiled in a fight with the oil industry over legislation to slash gasoline use in California. He has been to Rome and spoken at a conference before the Pope stating his case on the global climate change movement.
The U.S. Green Building Council-Los Angeles Chapter (USGBC-LA) will host its quarterly Thought Leadership event, a 5-hour symposium on “Reducing California’s Fire Risk” online Thursday, June 17th.
this in what way, jonathan? reporter: this is interesting, because you have the l.a. times looking at this some depth, the l.a. times not a newspaper known for questioning climate change, they spoke with a range of scientists, with these fires you need to look the way we developed the land and design of homes being put on this land. one of them from the chaparral institute, says if we don t make changes there, the houses will keep burning down and people will keep dying. i don t believe that climate change discussion is helpful. so again, scientists saying it is not about climate change when you look at these fires but you can always find one scientist to say one thing, one to say another. one hand of economic advisors of former presidents, bill. bill: thank you, jonathan. from los angeles, thank you, sir. martha. martha: the latest on the investigation into the deadly attack at a crowded bus station in israel. horrible seen here scene here as a gunman opened fire.
