Jerry Brown to
Global Climate Activists: Trump Doesn’t Speak for the Rest of America
by Joel B. Pollak 7 Jul 2017
California Governor Jerry
Brown delivered a video
message Thursday to climate change activists gathered in Hamburg, Germany for a
summit to coincide with the G-20 meeting, telling them that President Donald Trump
does not represent the United States as a whole, at least on climate change.
“Yes, I know President Trump is trying to get out of the
Paris Agreement. Well, he doesn’t speak for the rest of America.” he said.
The Los Angeles Times reports
that the crowd of 12,000 activists “burst out in applause when the governor
said Trump doesn’t speak for the rest of the U.S.”
Trump was not invited to the conference, though he is in
Hamburg. The Times notes that Canadian Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau was among the heads of state participating.
In addition to bashing Trump, Gov. Brown invited
activists to come to San Francisco for a “Climate Action Summit” in
September 2018. The summit would extend the work that Brown has done over the
past several years to link sub-national governments together on climate
change policies.
Presumably, the attendees at Brown’s summit would travel
by airplane. As the New York Times noted
in 2013, in an article titled “Your Biggest Carbon Sin May Be Air Travel,”
flying to San Francisco, even just from New York, creates major greenhouse gas
emissions:
For many people reading this, air travel is their most
serious environmental sin. One round-trip flight from New York to Europe or to
San Francisco creates a warming effect equivalent to 2 or 3 tons of carbon
dioxide per person. The average American generates about 19 tons of carbon
dioxide a year; the average European, 10.
Brown’s video is below:
Under the U.S. Constitution, the President of the United
States has broad powers over the nation’s foreign affairs, including the
decision to participate in, or withdraw from, executive agreements. State
governors have no such powers, though they may promote the interests of their
residents abroad and welcome foreign trade and tourism.
