U.S. sinks Arctic accord due to climate change differences: diplomats

ROVANIEMI, Finland - The United States has refused to sign an agreement on challenges in the Arctic due to discrepancies over climate change wording, diplomats said on Tuesday, jeopardising cooperation in the polar region at the sharp edge of global warming.

A meeting of eight nations bordering the Arctic in Rovaniemi in Finland on Tuesday was supposed to frame a two-year agenda to balance the challenge of global warming with sustainable development of mineral wealth. The idea for “a simpler, positive, unified, collective message” had come from Russia and Canada, he added.

Addressing the Council, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said President Donald Trump’s administration “shares your deep commitment to environmental stewardship” in the Arctic. But he said collective goals were not always the answer.

Because a politician who has authority chooses to upset the world's need for a global approach on pollution, and it's impact on the climate.

There is no doubt... this administration is the reincarnation of those fools who found Galileo guilty of heresy during the Inquisition.

Can we just start ignoring the US until they get a legitimate President and call it a day. 🇨🇦

By the time Trump is done, our planet would be done too; nothing left to salvage. Of course the conservative extremists and the uneducated republicans will then go to the church and pray for GOD to intervene and save the planet.

It is amazing to me how hard this administration is working with so many ways to fuck over the planet with republicans cheering it on.

😡😡 u are joking

We’re going to destroy the planet ☹️

There is only Climate Change. There are no 'Climate Change Differences'. This is reality, these are facts. The US may think it's above facts - it is not.
