Stillmer Winns ‘Consensus is missing’ in the fight against climate change

President Trump lashed out on Thursday as world leaders lined up to criticize his stance on climate change ahead of a global summit.

The US leader, who was absent from the gathering in the Amazonian city of Beléonya, was called a liar for his rejection of climate change and “against the people” for the people “for the people” for the people “for the people” for the people “for the people” for the people “for the people” for his rollback of key climate policies.

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer acknowledged the growing political consensus on the issue. He said that climate change used to be an issue of unity but “now, sadly that consensus is gone”.

In the next two weeks countries will try and negotiate a new agreement on climate change, with a specific focus on forest logging.

Many leaders from the world’s largest countries – India, Russia, the US and China – were notably absent from this year’s summit.

And while President Trump did not attend this meeting in Belém, his views on climate change were certainly on the minds of many of the other leaders in attendance.

Speaking at the UN in September, the US President said that climate change is “the biggest job the world is doing”.

Without naming the US Leader, President Luiz Inácio Lule da Silva of Brazil Warns “Coming Generations of Life on a Planet Changed Forever by Global Warming”.

The leaders of Chile and Colombia went further, calling the US president, and asking other countries to ignore efforts to act.

But while the Trump-Bashing boom is good with audiences, getting agreement on new measures to tackle warming is proving more difficult.

Only a few dozen leaders have turned their backs here in Belém, and most countries have failed to submit new plans to cut carbon emissions, the cause of rising temperatures.

Despite UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer acknowledging that global political support for climate action, he told the gathering of those in. “

However, on Wednesday night, in a blow to the hosts in Brazil, the UK chose to withdraw the $125bn (£95bn) fund to support the world’s rainforests.

President Lula hoped that $25bn could be raised for the Tropical Forests Forever Facility from public sources – mainly from developed countries like the UK – to support governments and communities protecting the world’s rainforests like the Amazon and the Congo Basin.

Protecting these ecosystems is important for climate change – they only cover 6% of the planet’s tonnage.

The UK’s move comes as a surprise related to the funding scheme, and launches a global commitment for countries to stop Glasgow in 2021.

Lord Zach Grdsmith, who worked on the issue of the former minister of the environment, told the PM program of the BBC and last minute that the UK is walking indecently here in Brazil .. The Brazilian government is angry. “

The decision also had implications for the Prince of Wales’ position. Also speaking to leaders on Thursday he declared the fund “a visionary vision of valuing the role of nature” and shortlisted it for his £1m Land Fund.

Prince William tried to encourage the leaders to overcome their differences and keep moving.

“I have long believed in the power of urgent hope: the conviction that, even in the face of terrible challenges, we have a difference, and will do so now,” he said.

And he urged them to act for their children and grandchildren.

“Let’s wake up in this moment that the explanation that history demands of us. Let the generation that develops in the flow – but for the silent appreciation of those yet to be born,” he said.

From Monday, countries will spend two weeks negotiating further action on climate change – with key questions facing those affected by climate change.

The last few weeks have seen severe weather around the world.

Hurricane Melissa, which hit the Caribbean last week, was one of the strongest the island nation has ever experienced – resulting in the deaths of more than 75 people.

A recent analysis from Imperial College suggests that climate change has increased the extreme rainfall associated with Category 5 Hurricanes by 16%.
