US President Donald Trump has once again grabbed the limelight because the comment on infernos across California, Oregon, and Washington states, where he said that 'trees just explode. His statement once again proved that the leader doesn’t have any knowledge of how climate change or how forest fires work.

As per the report on the global media The Independent, Donald Trump pinned the blame on Democratic state leaders on the West Coast for forest fires for poor forest management, implying it is bound to happen because dry trees can “just explode.”


Trump’s comment on why the US wildfires are raging unabated comes across as a false and unscientific claim. The leader went on to repeat his argument insisting that wildfires are caused by poor maintenance of forest areas, making them more combustible.

He further stressed on the need for strong forest management. "With regard to the forests, when trees fall down after a short period of time, about 18 months, they become very dry. They become really like a match stick," Trump said.

The leader during a speech in Sacramento on the third day of a re-election campaign started opposing the state official argument that a heating climate can be the force behind the ever-stronger fires.

On this, the President said, "It will start getting cooler. You just watch," Trump said. "I wish science agreed with you," responded Wade Crowfoot, the head of the California Natural Resources Agency.

"I don't think science knows, actually," Trump said.

What are the damages from infernos?

Infernos across California, Oregon, and Washington states have created havoc by burning more than five million acres (two million hectares) this year, killed dozens of people, and forced hundreds of thousands from their homes.

The fire has left several towns devastated and noxious fumes have been accumulated and trapped into the air blocking out the sun and leading to breathing issue. Reputable scientists around the world are almost unanimous in their belief that the world is getting warmer because of human activity.

This man-made climate change amplifies droughts, which dry out regions, creating ideal conditions for wildfires to spread out-of-control and inflict unprecedented damage.

Much of the West Coast has been blanketed in choking smog for days, with Portland on Monday the world's most air-polluted city according to IQAir.
