Trump, Biden clash over role of climate change in wildfires

Mr Joe Biden branded US President Donald Trump a "climate arsonist" on Monday for refusing to acknowledge global warming's role in deadly wildfires sweeping the western United States, while Mr Trump blamed lax forestry and declared: "I don't think science knows."

"I think this is more of a management situation," Mr Trump answered, when asked by a reporter if climate change was a factor behind the fires.

Mr Trump has referred to climate change as a "hoax", and in 2017 pulled the US out of the Paris accords laying out an international approach to global warming.

"We come from a perspective, humbly, where we submit the science is in and observed evidence is self-evident - that climate change is real, and that it is exacerbating this


Catchy Quote by Trump:

"It'll start getting cooler, you just watch," he said. "I don't think science knows."

Qns: 

1. Is it true that the environmental crisis is exaggerated? (ACJC Prelim 2020)

2. Assess the view that attempts to control climate change can never be truly effective. (Cam. 2017)

3. Assess the view that most natural disasters are the result of human activity. (Cam. 2016)

4. ‘Human actions should be based on scientific fact, not religious faith.’ How far do you agree with this statement? (Cam. 2015)
