CNN: Trump Sides with Russia and Saudi Arabia Against World Climate Report

TAPPER: "World lead, Saudi Arabia and Russia are not two countries that any self-respecting western nation typically wants to find itself categorized with. But President Trump is siding with them again. This time joining with those regimes to refuse to welcome a global climate change report. The three nations, along with Kuwait, rejecting to accept the conclusion of the landmark U.N. climate change report, which warns that we all will see the devastating effects of climate change by 2030 unless governments around the world take immediate action. This all playing out on an international stage in Poland at a U.N. climate change conference, conference to which the Trump Administration decided to not send any senior officials. The U.S.’s stance is not a complete surprise, since the President told reporters last month that he didn’t believe the national report from his own Administration, which also warned about the dire consequences if the U.S. continues to ignore climate change. Today the American meteorological society released a new report revealing extreme weather events such as last year’s hurricane Harvey and wildfires were either directly linked to or directly caused by climate change."
