CA Gov. Brown Talks Wildfire; Blames Trump

Gov. Jerry Brown said he doesn't think Trump fears the Lord.

CALIFORNIA -- As six fires continue to scorch through Southern California — just two months after four wildfires devastated Northern California — Gov. Jerry Brown is criticizing President Donald Trump for pulling out of the Paris climate deal. Speaking to news show "60 Minutes," Brown said the president is "making a mistake by ignoring the facts of global warming," according to CBS.

"I don't think President Trump has a fear of the Lord, the fear of the wrath of God, which leads one to more humility," Brown told "60 Minutes," which airs at 7 p.m. Sunday.

Brown has been outspoken on climate change, signing bills that alleviate the impact on California's environment and lobbying for other lawmakers to do the same.
