'Global warming doesn’t care about the election': NASA scientist warns Donald Trump over interference

The President-elect, Donald Trump, has
 previously called climate change a hoax
 perpetrated by the Chinese. 

A senior NASA scientist has told Donald Trump he is wrong if he thinks climate change is not happening and warned the President-elect that government scientists are “not going to stand” for any interference with their work.

Mr Trump has described global warming as a “hoax” perpetrated by China, vowed to unratify the landmark Paris Agreement and appointed a renowned climate-change denier to a senior environmental position in his transition team.

The science community and environmental campaigners in the US have already begun efforts to persuade Mr Trump that climate change is actually real before he takes office next year.
