US President Donald Trump has acknowledged the unprecedented nature of the wildfires ravaging America’s west coast, but has blamed the disaster on bad forest management.
The comments came as fires in California, Oregon and Washington state continued to tear through communities on Saturday , destroying homes and businesses, and blanketing the west coast with smoke and ash.Tens of thousands of people across the region have been displaced, and the death toll has now topped 30 – although authorities have warned this is likely to increase.
“The debate is over in terms of climate change,” the Democratic governor said in news conference on Fridayafter touring the North Complex Fire near Oroville. “If you don’t believe that, just come to the state of California.” His Nevada rally today took place at an airport hanger in Minden, near Lake Tahoe. It was supposed to be held in Reno but ended up being cancelled because of the governor's 50-person COVID19 limits on outdoor gatherings.
"We've done this in record time – years ahead of schedule," he said. "If this were Sleepy Joe and Obama, you wouldn't have a vaccine for three years."

Palaszczuk's tough border stance has made her 'the Queensland version of Donald Trump' | Sky News AustraliaNationals Senator Matt Canavan says this past fortnight has seen the 'absurdity' that is the Queensland government’s policy on border restrictions, adding it has just “collapsed upon itself”.\n\nMr Canavan told Sky News there is widespread support for restrictions on travel from areas where COVID-19 is, but the Queensland government put 'far too much stock in that and far too little stock in actually making the sensible decisions on the ground that impact real human beings'. \n\n“Too wrapped up in focusing on being tough on borders, Annastacia Palaszczuk has become a Queensland version of Donald Trump … building the wall keeping all of the Mexicans out from down south.\n\nMs Palaszczuk was heavily criticised this week after a 26-year-old Canberra woman was only allowed to leave hotel quarantine for a private viewing of her father’s body, however, was not permitted to attend the funeral on Thursday with her mother and 11-year-old sister.\n\n“That was just a completely heartless approach and then later in the week there was a gutless approach with the premier throwing her own medical officer under the bus and putting her out in front of the media and refusing to face the cameras herself,” he said.\n\nImage: Getty
