Longtime Newsom critic puts UN summit on notice if Dem governor is allowed to speak: 'Climate hypocrisy'

California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton has petitioned leaders of the UN climate summit to prevent Governor Gavin Newsom from speaking at the event, citing what he describes as 'climate hypocrisy.' Hilton's criticism reflects a broader concern about the credibility of political leaders in addressing climate change, particularly when their actions may not align with their rhetoric. This situation highlights the ongoing debate over accountability in climate leadership and the expectations placed on public figures to demonstrate genuine commitment to environmental issues.
