Jerry Brown: Climate change 'an enemy' as 'devastating' as the Nazis

Climate change is “an enemy” comparable to Nazis, according to outgoing Democratic California Gov. Jerry Brown.

“Instead of worrying about tariffs, I’d like to see the president and the Congress invest tens of billions in renewable energy, in more efficient batteries, to get us off fossil fuel as quickly as we can. I would point to the fact that it took [then-President Franklin] Roosevelt many, many years to get America willing to go into World War II and fight the Nazis. Well, we have an enemy, though different, but perhaps very much devastating in a similar way,” Brown said Sunday during an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
