Trump’s Energy Secretary Choice Denies A Link Between Climate Change and the LA Wildfires
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, discusses Chris Wright, the expected energy secretary under President Trump, who denies a connection between climate change and the LA wildfires. McIntyre warns that Wright’s stance could influence public policy, leading to reduced investments in fire prevention and rebuilding efforts. This could exacerbate wildfires and harm Los Angeles’ economy. Public policy, shaped by such views, plays a crucial role in addressing climate and energy challenges.
