Wallets, not warming, make voters care about climate: California governor
Belem, Brazil Nov 12, 2025
California Governor Gavin Newsom says his Democratic Party is "back on its feet" after a string of election wins - and the way to make Americans care about global warming is to show how it affects their wallets. The 58-year-old leader of the Golden State spoke to AFP at the UN's annual climate summit, held this year in Belem, a northern Brazilian city on the edge of the Amazon rainforest.
