A protest in New York against climate change sceptics in Donald Trump’s cabinet. |
Trump, who has dismissed climate change as “bullshit” and a
Chinese hoax, will become the first climate sceptic to occupy the highest
office in the US when he is sworn in on Friday.
Climate scientists and campaigners have expressed alarm at
the impact the presence of so many climate deniers and environmental enemies in
Trump’s cabinet could have on efforts to prevent catastrophic and irreversible
global warming.
But speaking to the government-run China Daily newspaper,
China’s special representative for climate change, Xie Zhenhua, played down
such concerns.
Read the story on The
Guardian by Tom Phillips in Beijing - “Trump warming to reality of climate change, says senior Chinese official.”
