Environmentalists launch 'emergency' campaign to persuade Trump climate change is real amid fears of 'planetary disaster'

UK Indépendant:

One of the biggest ever environmental campaigns has been launched by a group of the world's most eminent scientists and environmentalists

 

in an 'emergency' effort to convince the President-elect, Donald Trump, that global warming is real before he becomes US President in January.

 

Mr Trump, who described climate science as a “hoax” perpetrated by China, has already appointed a prominent climate change denier, Myron Ebell, to a key environmental post and promised that he will rip up the landmark Paris Agreement climate deal when he enters the White House. Climate sceptics in Australia crowed that the Paris Agreement was "cactus" – meaning finished – following his election this week.

 

Among those now preparing for arguably the most important campaign ever designed to change the mind of a single individual in modern history is the Sierra Club – an environmental group founded by legendary conservationist John Muir in 1892, which now has more than two million members and supporters globally.

Visitors to the club's website are now being urging to “make an emergency donation”. “We are not licking our wounds, we are preparing for the fights to come. Fight Back Against Trump,” it explains.

What is the climate we should be aiming for? Warmer..Colder...Wetter...Drier....and how much? This seems to me to be a valid question...and one I've not seen asked.
