Leaders from around the world are set to discuss climate change on Monday at a United Nations summit in what one U.N. official said could be a"slingshot" to catalyze global action toward reducing emissions and limiting global warming.The climate summit is part of the United Nations General Assembly and was planned to"discuss a leap in collective national ambition," not unlike the Paris Climate Agreement, the 2016 agreement from which Trump vowed to withdraw the U.S. in 2017.
"The climate emergency has been declared by people, and especially young people on the streets, the world over, and this is about an appropriate response to that emergency," Kyte said. Trump's critics in the U.S. have said he abdicated the country's role as a global leader on climate change after announcing the U.S. would no longer abide by the Paris Climate Agreement.
Trump will be in New York at U.N. headquarters during the climate summit attending an unrelated event on religious freedom and religious persecution around the world. The U.S. has reduced greenhouse gas emissions significantly from 2005 to 2017, and the spokesperson said the country is a world leader in innovative energy technologies.
Climate summit breathes sigh of relief
A reason not to reelect Trump, environment abuser!
Shameful very shameful the way he is treating this planet that's a millionaire for you
He's a puppet and a shame.
When I was a kid, I remember being terrified that the ozone layer was being destroyed and later the Y2K bug, “The killer bees are coming!” Anything to use politically to scare the bejesus out of people & to make $$/ gain political power from it
And this is surprising? This is not news.
