Jerry Brown: Climate Change Fight Like World War II…

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Breitbart:

On Tuesday, Gov. Jerry Brown compared the “existential threat” of climate change to the fight against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.

 

Brown made the comparison while addressing a crowd of climate scientists who had gathered at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography for a two-day University of California Summit on Carbon and Climate Neutrality.

 

According to the Times of San Diego, Brown said addressing climate change is the moral equivalent to building the atomic bomb first in World War II, and said he couldn’t “emphasize enough how important the University of California is in meeting this existential threat.”

 

Furthermore, Brown warned the scientists about “skeptics” in the Golden State and beyond, noting that “we are up against very powerful opposition: partisan, industrial and media.” (He delivered a similar message at the Milken Global Conference in April, where he warned the crowd to “beware of the polarizers.”)

 

During his speech Tuesday, Brown reportedly criticized politicians who deny the human causes of climate change. According to the Los Angeles Times, he singled out Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson,to whom he sent a letter and flash drive that included the latest UN climate report, challenging him to “review the material.” Brown told the scientists, “I said ‘Go read it.’ I don’t know if he ever did.”
