The storm comes amid the fallout from a United Nations report on climate change, which had intense directions on what action governments, corporations and people across the planet need to take in order to combat climate change.
President Donald Trump has previously called climate change a hoax (a comment which he later said was a joke). His Environmental Protection Agency just got rid of the office that advises the E.P.A. administrator on science. So how will the U.S. respond to this report?
In other U.N. news, ambassador Nikki Haley resigned this week in a move that surprised White House officials and the public alike. She’ll stay on until the end of the year, but who is on deck to replace her? Could it be Dina Powell, the former deputy national security advisor?
Brett Kavanaugh started his first week as a Supreme Court justice. How is the country recuperating after a divisive and bruising confirmation process? And how are politicians on both sides of the aisle using his spot on the bench to their advantage?
And because we’re broadcasting live from KQED, we’re including a special section on California. What’s happening in that state’s gubernatorial race? Is there a blue wave in the works in the Golden State’s Central Valley?
Catch up on the week that was with the domestic edition of the News Roundup.
