Jerry Brown: Trump doesn’t fear ‘the wrath of God’
AGENDA 21 RADIO
Brown, who is currently battling some of the worst wildfires in his state’s history, said nature is not “a political game.”
The governor, however, called on Trump to re-evaluate his decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate accord, which he announced in June.
“The truth of the case is that there’s too much carbon being emitted, that heat-trapping gasses are building up, the planet is warming and all hell is breaking loose,” he said. “So I’d say to Mr. Trump, take a deeper look. Now is not the time to undo what every country in the world is committed to.”
Brown also hit out at congressional Republicans for their tax reform proposals, which have been speculated to disproportionately increase the tax burden of blue states like California.
“Just like they believe there’s no climate problem, they believe that cutting corporate taxes without any money to pay for it, they think it’s magic, it’ll make everything wonderful,” he said of the GOP. “Very irresponsible. Very dangerous.”
