Biden's comments came amid jarring scenes as the US President, face to face with California's governor, dismissed a link between global warming and the worsening fires.
As fires raged through the US West Coast, killing at least 35 people and destroying vast tracts of land, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden labelled Donald Trump a "climate arsonist".
With the presidential election just 50 days away, climate change burst into prominence as an issue on Tuesday as the President visited fire-ravaged California and Biden spoke from Delaware.More than 3.2 million acres have burned across California this year, the largest amount on record. Together have destroyed at least 4100 structures and forced more than 60,000 people from their homes in California.
"How many suburbs will have been flooded out? How many suburbs will have been blown away in super-storms? "It is about forest management," Trump told a rally in Nevada. "Please remember the words, very simple: forest management."
