ET 2020 Election Live Updates: Biden Calls Trump ‘Climate Arsonist’ in Speech on Wildfires and Global Warming President Trump is visiting California and confronting a scientific reality he denies. During a speech in Wilmington, Del., Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic presidential nominee, attacked the Trump administration’s response to climate change. “If we have four more years of Trump’s climate denial, how many suburbs will be burned in wildfires?” Mr. Biden asked. The president, who has called climate change a hoax, has frequently expressed skepticism about the scientific consensus that warming global temperatures are worsening wildfires. But after another speaker also raised climate change, Mr. Trump made clear that he remained unpersuaded.
