Trump does not accept the scientific consensus on climate change


In 2012 he said that global warming was a hoax invented by the Chinese, but later said that he was joking.

He has called the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) a "disgrace" and has threatened to cut its budget.

Trump has pledged to eliminate the Clean Power Plan and withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, which calls for reductions in carbon emissions in more than 170 countries.


Are you worried about the position of the future President of the United States ?
In your opinion, what is the reason of Trump's position ?
