Back From China, Jerry Brown Turns His Concern About Climate To California

mashable.com

Jerry Brown's trip to China earned him wall-to-wall media coverage - internationally and here at home.  Much less covered was another environmental visit the governor took just weeks earlier: to Bell Gardens in Los Angeles County, a transportation corridor with some of the worst air quality in the state.  Those two trips highlight competing tensions as Brown seeks to shape climate change policies in California and around the world.  When Capital Public Radio's Ben Bradford interviewed the California governor during a car ride in Beijing last week, he asked if Brown was surprised by what he saw in Bell Gardens.

Ben Bradford is a city kid, who came to Charlotte from San Francisco by way of New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. Prior to his career in journalism, Ben spent time as an actor, stuntman, viral marketer, and press secretary for a Member of Congress. He graduated from UCLA in 2005 with a degree in theater and from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism in 2012. As a reporter, his work has been featured on NPR, WNYC, the BBC, and Public Radio International.
