During the hearing for Trump's energy secretary pick, Chris Wright, several climate protesters caused a disruption and were subsequently removed by police. The protesters, numbering four in total, made references to the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires, attributing them to climate change.
One protester went as far as accusing the senators of posing soft-ball questions to Wright and failing to take the issue of climate change seriously. This incident sheds light on the growing concern and activism surrounding climate change and its impact on natural disasters.
