More natural disasters point to climate change and climate action- What's Your Point?

California Governor Gavin Newsom says: "World-record-breaking temperature in the state of California, not the Middle East. World-record-breaking temperature, 130 damn degrees in Palm Springs a few weeks ago.  You saw what happened up north in Oregon.  You saw how many people died, over a couple of hundred people died because of the heat index.  I mean, this is life and death, and you can't just fight fires the way we did 20, 30, 40 years ago anymore."
