Newsom assures California always a partner on climate change as he begins China trip_我的网站

A |     HONG KONG -- The governor of California opened a week-long trip to China on Monday with an assurance that his state will always be a partner on climate issues no matter how the U.S. presidential election turns out next year.Democrat Gavin Newsom's visit comes as U.S.-Chinese relations witnessed a sharp deterioration in recent years due to trade disputes, U.S. support for self-governing Taiwan and human rights concerns, among other contentious issues.Attempting to reinforce his state's role as a global leader on climate change, Newsom began his visit with a climate-themed discussion at the University of Hong Kong. He told the audience they “can rely on California,” while addressing claims that the United States is not a reliable ally.“I want you to know, regardless of what happens nationally, sub-nationally, you have a partner in the state of California,” he said. Climate remains one area where collaboration is seen as possible and necessary. Both countries appear to have fully re-engaged in the run-up to the next U.N. climate change conference, which opens Nov. 30 in Dubai.Newsom said China and the U.S. have long-standing partnerships on the issue of climate change that he wanted to build upon. Li Yongsheng, deputy commissioner of the Chinese foreign ministry in Hong Kong, said at the opening of the event that China-US relations “have shown positive signs of rebounding," and that he believed Newsom's visit will be productive.Other attendees included Gregory May, U.S. consul general in Hong Kong, Eden Woon, the president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, and Elsie Leung, Hong Kong former secretary for justice. But Newsome's trip to China has drawn concerns from some 60 advocacy groups and non-governmental organizations. They expressed their disappointment in a joint statement Friday characterizing the governor’s trip as a move to “explicitly turn away from engaging on critical human rights issues.”Asked if the only way to make progress on climate matters with China is not to mention human rights issues, Newsom denied the tradeoff, saying, “we can do many things at once.” After his Hong Kong trip, he will head to Beijing, Shanghai and the provinces of Guangdong and Jiangsu. He will visit the first Chinese city to deploy an all-electric bus fleet, tour an offshore wind facility and see Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory. He will sign agreements with leaders of various Chinese provinces to set mutual commitments on a host of climate goals.Newsom’s agenda also includes conversations on “strengthening cultural ties and combating xenophobia,” and promoting economic development and tourism.Governors of California, which has an economy larger than most countries, have a long history of climate collaboration with China. Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger also traveled there to swap knowledge on reducing air pollution and emissions, and since leaving office, Brown has launched the California-China Climate Institute at the University of California, Berkeley.。    据新华社报道，美国加利福尼亚州南部地区7日突发野火，火势在强风助推下迅速蔓延，周边地区约3万人被紧急疏散，目前暂无人员伤亡报告。加州州长纽森当日傍晚宣布，加州南部部分区域进入紧急状态。图片来源：新华社据当地媒体报道，这场野火始于7日上午，起火地点在洛杉矶县沿海社区帕西菲克帕利塞兹。

B | 同时，一场强风暴在该地拉响警报，当地阵风风速据报曾超过每小时110公里。此次风暴被认为是该地区十余年来最强风暴之一。过火面积因大风而急剧扩大。据报道，目前山火已蔓延超过11.8平方公里，且还在继续扩大。洛杉矶市政府已安排部分居民撤离，多条道路被迫关闭。

C | 受强风影响，火势目前平均以每分钟烧毁5个足球场的速度继续蔓延。

D | 洛杉矶消防局局长克里斯汀·克劳利表示：“由于强风和周围地形的不利因素，控制火情极具挑战性，我们已经对洛杉矶地区超过3万名的居民下达了疏散令。”为安全起见，南加州电力公司切断了数万户居民的家庭用电。

E | 目前，数百名消防人员在现场灭火。但气象部门预报，入夜后当地风力将持续增强，恐加剧消防人员灭火难度。当地时间7日晚，美国总统拜登发表声明，称正不断听取有关洛杉矶山火的汇报，白宫将尽一切所能支持救援应对。

G | 就在上个月，2024年12月9日，加州洛杉矶县海滨城市马利布遭遇野火，大约2.2万人受火灾影响，6300人疏散；11月，美国东北部多个州近日爆发山火和林火；10月，一场大火因强风在加州奥克兰市山区迅速蔓延，烧毁两处房屋，大约500人接到疏散指令……据环球网2018年的数据，仅在2017年，加州就发生了8747场山火。2018年10月，北加州就发生了250场山火，其中的21场扩大成为重大火灾，同年12月初，南加州发生了共20场山火，其中6场发展成重大火灾，迫使超过20万人紧急疏散。2024年，该州野火过火面积几乎是去年同期的4倍。据报道，加州年年大火，与其独特的地理位置和环境有关。加州在一年中的大部分时候都相对干燥，云量稀少、阳光充足，故而又被称为“阳光地带”。此外，加州自然景观极其丰富多样，从壮丽的峡谷、陡峭的高山、浩瀚的湖泊到干燥的沙漠、旖旎的海岸，几乎无所不包。全美59个国家公园中，有9个位于加州，加上近300个州立公园，森林覆盖率占到加州总面积的45％。在洛杉矶、旧金山等城市近郊山野，又生长着大量的桉树和浓密的灌木丛，易燃的松树+灌木丛，这都让加州几乎成为一个天然的“柴火灶”。加州的地形东高西低，海拔高差悬殊，极易形成温度高且又干燥的风，而这些大风是近年来山林大火频发的重要诱因。据报道，加州和其他美国西部地区野火多发，每年的这个时候会因大风而加剧。科学家认为，在气候变化导致的创纪录高温下，植被干燥使得火情更加严重。
