“#Trump faces pushback from climate experts after confrontation in California<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 With the smell of California wildfires in the air, President Donald Trump on Monday ignored the scientific consensus that climate change is playing a central role in historic West Coast infernos and renewed his unfounded claim that failure to rake forest floors and clear dead timber is mostly to blame.<\/p>\n

The fires are threatening to become another front in Trump\u2019s reelection bid, which is already facing hurdles because of the coronavirus pandemic, joblessness and social<\/a> unrest. His Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, in his own speech Monday said the destruction and mounting death toll across California, Oregon and Washington require stronger presidential leadership and labeled Trump a \u201cclimate arsonist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump travel<\/a>ed to Northern California to be briefed by Democratic Gov. Gavin News<\/a>om and other state and federal officials. At one point, state Natural Resources Agency Secretary Wade Crowfoot urged the president to \u201crecognize the changing climate and what it means to our forests.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we ignore that science<\/a> and sort of put our head in the sand and think it\u2019s all about vegetation management, we\u2019re not going to succeed together protecting Californians,\u201d Crowfoot added.<\/p>\n

Trump responded, \u201cIt will start getting cooler, just you watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crowfoot politely pushed back that he wished the science agreed with the president. Trump countered, \u201cI don\u2019t think science knows, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n

That striking moment came on a day of dueling campaign events, with Trump and Biden dramatically contrasting their outlooks on climate change \u2014 and the impact it has had on the record-setting fires ravaging the West Coast.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s suggestion that the planet is going to start to unexpectedly cool is at odds with reality, experts say.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe there is a parallel universe where a pot on the stove with the burner turned to high \u2018starts getting cooler.\u2019 But that is not our universe,\u201d said Stanford University climate scientist Chris Field.<\/p>\n

Biden lashed at Trump, saying the moment requires \u201cleadership, not scapegoating\u201d and that \u201cit\u2019s clear we are not safe in Donald Trump\u2019s America.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is another crisis, another crisis he won\u2019t take responsibility for,\u201d Biden said. He said that if voters give \u201ca climate denier\u201d another four years in the White House, \u201cwhy would we be surprised that we have more of America ablaze?\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump, who was briefed during a stop near Sacramento before a campaign visit to Phoenix, had been mostly quiet as the catastrophe on the West Coast has unfolded over the past few weeks. He tweeted app<\/a>reciation of firefighters and emergency responders on Friday, the first public comments he had made in weeks about the fires that have killed dozens, burned millions of acres and forced thousands from their homes.<\/p>\n

The president arrived at at Sacramento McClellan Airport to the powerful scent of smoke from the fires burning some 90 miles away.<\/p>\n

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 U.S. wilderness and forests. And many of the blazes have roared through coastal chaparral and grasslands, not forest.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a trying season for both the Los Angeles…
\n <\/article>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cWhen you have years of leaves, dried leaves on the ground, it just sets it up,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt\u2019s really a fuel for a fire. So they have to do something about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

University of Colorado fire scientist Jennifer Balch called Trump\u2019s deflecting blame on forest managers \u201cinfuriating.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s often hard to know what Trump means,\u201d Balch added. \u201cIf by forest management he means clear-cutting, that\u2019s absolutely the wrong solution to this problem. \u2026 There\u2019s no way we\u2019re going to log our way out of this fire problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden, who gave his climate speech in Delaware on Monday, released a $2 trillion plan in July to boost investment in clean energy and stop all climate-damaging emissions from U.S. power plants by 2035.<\/p>\n

But as the wildfires rage, some climate activists have expressed frustration that Biden has not been more forceful on the issue. He has not embraced, for instance, some of the most progressive elements of the Green New Deal.<\/p>\n

To that end, Biden in his address did not wade into political and policy disagreements among Democrats, progressive activists and even some Republicans who acknowledge the climate crisis. As he has before, Biden sought to frame his energy proposals as an immediate necessity and a long-term economic boon focusing more on new jobs and a cleaner economy that would offset any initial costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s climate denial may not have caused these fires and hurricanes,\u201d Biden said. \u201cBut if he gets a second term, these hellish events will continue to become more common and more devastating and more deadly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump visited McClellan Park, a former U.S. Air Force Base about 10 miles outside Sacramento that is used by firefighters as a staging area for large aircraft used in combating blazes. Most of the largest firefighting aircraft have not been utilized in recent days due to heavy smoke limiting visibility.<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris, will return to her home state Tuesday to meet with emergency service personnel to be briefed on the state\u2019s wildfires.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Trump stated bluntly: \u201cI\u2019m not a believer in global warming, I\u2019m not a believer in man-made global warming.\u201d After the publication of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report concluded climate change would hurt the economy, Trump said he read it but didn\u2019t believe it. In September 2019, he falsely slammed the Green New Deal as an effort that would lead to \u201cNo more cows. No more planes \u2026 no more people, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

Climate scientists say rising heat and worsening droughts in California consistent with climate change have expanded what had been the state\u2019s autumn wildfire season to year-round, sparking bigger, deadlier and more frequent fires.<\/p>\n

All five of the state\u2019s largest fires in history have raged in the past three years, including the deadliest fire, a 2018 blaze that killed 85 people when it swept through the town of Paradise on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada. Trump during his Monday visit awarded seven members of the California National Guard the Distinguished Flying Cross for the rescue of dozens of Californians during the 2018 Paradise fires.<\/p>\n

An analysis out in August from Stanford climate and wildfire researcher Michael Goss and others found that a nearly 2-degree (1 Celsius) rise in autumn temperatures and 30 percent drop in rainfall has more than doubled the number of autumn days with extreme fire weather over the past 40 years.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
