4. Weve had temperatures explode this summer. ... We want to work with you to really recognize the changing climate and what it means to our forests and actually work together with that science, said Wade Crowfoot, Californias secretary for natural resources. That science is going to be key because if we ignore that science and sort of put our head in the sand and think its all about vegetation management, were not going to succeed in protecting Californians.

加州自然资源部长韦德克劳福特表示，今年夏天气温暴涨我们希望大家一起合作，真正了解气候变化及其对森林的影响，并切实利用科学。科学才是关键，因为如果我们忽视建议，认为一切都只是植被管理的问题，那我们就无法共同保护加州民众。

民主党总统候选人乔拜登也就此次火灾及其他问题发表了看法，他还谈到这些问题与人为造成的气候变化之间的关联。

拜登在讲话中说：由于我们在气候变化问题上的不作为，每一次与自然之怒的较量，都让越来越多的美国人感受到这对大城市、小城镇、海岸线和农田的破坏。

Wildfires are burning the suburbs in the West. Floods are wiping out suburban neighborhoods in the Midwest. And hurricanes are imperiling suburban life along our coasts.
