'I wish science agreed with you': Trump challenged on climate change during wildfire briefing

A California environmental official challenged President Donald Trump to believe and follow the science on climate change after Trump suggested that record-breaking temperatures in the state would go away on their own.

"It'll start getting cooler. You just watch," Trump said after Wade Crowfoot, California's secretary for natural resources, urged him and others not to "put our head in the sand" and simply ignore the warming climate., generated laughs from some of the participants.Trump, with a smirk, shot back: "OK, well, I don't think science knows, actually."

"With every bout with nature's fury, caused by our own inaction on climate change, more Americans see and feel the devastation in big cities, small towns, on coastlines and farmlands," Biden said, according to his prepared remarks.The president has largely blamed the wildfires, which continue to blaze in parts of California, on poor forest management practices.

"We've had temperatures explode this summer. You may have learned that we broke a world record in the Death Valley – 130 degrees [Fahrenheit]. But even in greater L.A., 120-plus degrees. And we're seeing this warming trend make our summers warmer, but also our winters warmer, as well," Crowfoot said.

“Trump lies to the American people again.”

That's the line you choose from this historic meeting and 40 YEAR FOREST DEAL with CA&FEDS

Science bakes the numbers

CAgovernor Newsom is hardly an expert on science

Yeah, I suppose if you fill the air with enough smoke the planet will cool as the sun's rays are reflected into space.

AngeldestroyingUS battle to leave some things clear to people

Biden, you did nothing for the last 47 years! Harris fiddles as California burns. Stop complaining without suggesting a solution. What would you do? Talk Climate Control to death.

🤮🤮

What as ass

Another Trump Classic, at the West Coast Fire Summit Trump tells First Responders and Governor Fires are starting because Dead Trees are being left too long on the Forest Floors, about 1 1/2 year and then they explode? You could hear some of the Firefighters lauging.. Classic.

Stop the arsonists and let forestry do their jobs and cut down trees to help with fires.. these fires are not from “climate change”

Yet scientists can’t even get masks right ? oh but we got GlobalWarming figured out LMFAO

I take extra special time to comment on this crap , we’ve only recorded temperatures for little over 100 years and these quacks think they have it figured out ? LMFAO SHOW YOUR WORK FOOLS !

Another reason not to watch CNBC !

My father worked in clean energy , though he did say it released hydrocarbons which were harmful . So if you think like CNBC wants you to , go ahead but I ask you to question it and think out of the box. Clean energy was my fathers career. He would and has disagreed with this BS!

THEY USE science as a weapon for the gullible. Name those anonymous scientists while you’re at it ! they won’t ! LMFAO

Why is this political? It's beyond unfortunate this has been meddled into something political. All people, regardless of political beliefs, should want a world they and their grandchildren can inhabit.

Funny how global warming stops at Canada. Not my tweet I stole this.

Feel free 2 look my recent tweets about climate change,my father rip worked for Chevron geothermal and he knew this is BULLSHIT!have documentation to prove it! on research an development.Had a patent with you call realDonaldTrump an idiot,same 4 my father

KevinWilliamB Every type of forest has a burn cycle that optimizes that type of forest. When a forest starts to get to and beyond the optimal fire cycles, the fires go from helpful to very destructive! In the USA, we have prevented fires far too long, and now are seeing the results!

Should sweep the forrest floor better.

stable genius and expert-on-everything president

Trump now looking for a second Nobel prize. First peace and now one more scientists based. He truly is a da Vinci. God help us. If he’s re elected we truly deserve all that happens. Again God help us.

what about the science that shows for 10,000 years their have been fires in cal ?

Nothing agrees with this extraterrestrial animal with yellow tan and fake hair.

Forestry management says clean up the dead timber and leaves, use control burns, and thin forests that are too thick.

Everyone now runs to get their own scientist to make their point. And we dam well know what the press does

He is such an assclown! How anyone in their mind consider voting Trump. He’s going to destroy us with ignorance

DemocRATs did absolutely nothing for decades, and now they blame Trump on climate change. ...

Since 1990 climate change was an issue, since then how many presidents b4 realDonaldTrump ? They did nothing! so if u wat the President 2 👀 at it, work on it, address it VoteTrump2020 😜 U no he can! VP44 CNN ABC CNN SpeakerPelosi NBCNews FoxNews CBSNews WhiteHouse

OMG trump is that dumb! The earth is warming up due to the natural cycle aided by human acceleration in farming and urbanization to meet the need of population fast-growth.The air is dirtier each day due to active volcanoes and human's activities. It's the reality.

Sooooo it’s either: Works class scientists who all agree on proven facts. Or Donald Trump who has zero experience in science and just “thinks” he’s right. Tough choice...

Good plan, wait & watch, worked out well with Covid - thoughts & prayers

We should let the Fake News decide who is telling the truth, since they have been right on everything from Trump is a Russian Agent, Trump will ruin economy, Trump will not bring back jobs form overseas, Trump will not build a wall, Trump will not move embassey to Jerusalem, etc

Everything bad is just going away on it's own when the temperature changes in Hump Speak and VP Dence is always waiting for that miracle right around the corner. What if God tells people that the miracle was their brain & they should've used it when they die and sends them away

Because there are a lot of leaves and trees? Trump sayed: It will cool down! Wow !

There is no single authority called 'science'. And the 'science' on whether the climate is unnaturally changing is not conclusive. And whether such a change is even bad is open to much debate.

.... because he knows nothing about science?

Here is your climate change... The Earth isn't on an exact rotation around the Sun and isn't on the exact same axis.

Stop building homes in the forest.

Truth.

Science also doesnt agree with the idea that renewables can power the planet, but that hasnt stopped them

Just give a thwaite... I was saying before covid the climate should still be a concern to lawmakers but unfortunately it's way too late to stop it but a plan to make coastal regions understand the dangers and prep can still be done.

Just like COVID was going to magically disappear. realDonaldTrump is a complete moron.

It’s simple. Trump was told in January and did nothing. Now almost 200,000 Americans are dead - most because he lied and mislead us. If he was anyone else he could be charged with manslaughter. TrumpkillsAmericans

Yea, show us the science please? The one without the model based on speculative data that has already been unproven. Please show us the data that the Earth is 1.4 degrees hotter than 70 years ago.

So, let's just add 'meteorologist' to 'biologist', 'politician', and 'businessman' to the list of roles Trump has pretended to play.

This is definitely not climate change. Looks more like organized crime to me. This is the man accused of setting multiple fires:
