US President Donald Trump at a briefing on wildfires at Sacramento McClellan Airport in California (Picture: AFP) Donald Trump appeared to dismiss the link between wildfires raging on the US West Coast and climate change. The American President said downed trees and dried leaves ‘just explode’, during an exchange with reporters in California on Monday. Mr Trump attended a briefing about the wildfires that have killed at least 36 people and forced thousands from their homes in Sacramento and was confronted by the secretary of the California Natural Resources Agency. Wade Crowfoot told the President: ‘If we ignore that science and sort of put our heads in the sand and think it’s all about vegetation management, we’re not going to succeed together in protecting California.’ Mr Trump replied: ‘It’ll start getting cooler. You just watch.’ Mr Crowfoot said he wished the science agreed with him – to which Mr Trump shot back: ‘Well, I don’t think science knows actually.’ The President — who has previously thrown doubt on environmental science suggesting the planet is headed for catastrophic changes from global warming — has blamed poor forest management for the deadly fires, though many of the blazes have roared through coastal chaparral and grasslands, not forest. During a meeting with officials on the fires, California Governor Gavin Newsom accepted that his state can do a better job of forest management. But he told Trump that it is ‘self-evident that climate change is real and that is exacerbating this.’ {“@context”:“https:\/\/schema.org”,“@type”:“VideoObject”,“name”:“Metro.co.uk”,“duration”:“T1M37S”,“thumbnailUrl”:“https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2020\/09\/15\/08\/33196186-0-image-a-20_1600155945842.jpg”,“uploadDate”:“2020-09-15T08:47:54+0100”,“description”:“The president of the US claimed that "The science doesn’t know"”,“contentUrl”:“https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2020\/09\/15\/6607527287119855580\/480x270_MP4_6607527287119855580.mp4”,“height”:270,“width”:480} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video He added: ‘The hots are getting hotter, the dries are getting drier. When we are having heat domes, the likes of which we have never seen in our history; the hottest August ever in the history of this state; the ferocity of these fires; the drought – five plus years, losing 163 million trees to that drought; something has happened to the plumbing of the world. ‘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 is exacerbating this.’ The governors of California, Oregon and Washington — all of whom are Democrats — have said global warming is priming forests for wildfires as they become hotter and drier. Scientists and others on the front lines say it is not as simple as blaming either climate change or the way land is managed. But experts have suggested that while it is problematic to directly blame climate change for the fires, which happen each year, it has made conditions for blazes to thrive worse.

However, many of the California blazes have roared through coastal thickets and grasslands, not forest, and some of the largest are burning on federal land. In Oregon, it was the forests that burned at unprecedented levels this past week. When addressing reporters after exiting Air Force One, Mr Trump was asked if climate change was also part of the problem, in combination with forest management. Mr Trump said he thinks ‘a lot of things are possible.’ More: Donald Trump Kid Rock to join Donald Trump rally in Michigan tonight Oracle beats Microsoft in bidding war to buy TikTok in the US Trump says he’s entitled to third term ‘because of the way he’s been treated’ But he says when it comes to forests, downed trees and dried leaves on the ground eventually ‘just explode.’ The president said countries in Europe don’t have the same issues with wildfires because they manage their forests. ‘So we have to do that in California,’ he said. Meanwhile, in Oregon, almost the same number of ‘megafires’ – defined as having scorched 100,000 acres or more – were burning last week as have occurred during the entire last century, the state’s Foresty Department said. Officials say more than 20 people are still missing, and the number of deaths is likely to rise. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk.
