This week, the world’s most powerful man claimed that climate change is a “con job”. Speaking at the UN general assembly, Donald Trump told global leaders – including Keir Starmer – that “all of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong”.
“They were made by stupid people that have cost their countries fortunes and given those same countries no chance for success,” the US president said. “If you don’t get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail.”
