Science adds fuel to the fire ahead of Election 2020

The words of US president Donald Trump while attending a briefing on the wildfires raging across California.

Scientists and local leaders agree that climate change is to blame but the US president isn't convinced. "Please respect, and I know you do, the difference of opinion out here as it relates to this fundamental issue of climate change," the governor said. He also delivered a statement on the wildfires and struck a very different tone saying that the recent bouts of nature's fury were caused by inaction on climate change.

"If you give a climate arsonist four more years in the White House, why would anyone be surprised if we have more of America ablaze?" he asked. Dr Robert Redfield also testified that wearing a face mask might offer more protection than a vaccine and again, this jars with Donald Trump's view. He has questioned the effectiveness of mask-wearing.
