California governor reacts to Trump's withdrawal from Paris Agreement
California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statement Monday evening addressing President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement, an international treaty whose purpose is to unite governments in taking action against climate change.
"If you don't believe in science, believe your own damn eyes," Newsom said, providing accompanying photos of the fires in Los Angeles County.
Trump's executive action regarding the Paris Agreement, which was signed on his first day back in office, was just one of a handful rollbacks related to climate and the environment.
