Diplomats Gird for Trump Assault on Climate Action

“Climate negotiators from Europe, Latin America and some island nations are bracing for the potential return to the world stage of Donald Trump, who withdrew the United States from the fight against global warming during his first term,” the New York Times reports.

“Nations will press forward without the United States if they must, according to climate negotiators who gathered in New York last week during the United Nations General Assembly. But the first Trump presidency was a setback in the climate fight, and a repeat would slow things down at a critical point when scientists say efforts need to speed up.”
