The elections are now over. Donald Trump is the most powerful man. The fear of scientists is now a reality. How will the new president of the United States of America help fight the climate change, because in the first place he does not believe in it?
The climate scientists were nervously watching the U.S. election results at the U.N. summit in Marrakech. They have stayed up late at night to find out whether the presidential candidate, who previously labeled the reality of global warming as being created by the Chinese, would win. Now, Donald Trump is the new president.
In a report by the Independent, the Morocco summit has numerous representative from all over the world. They gathered to discuss if last year's groundbreaking Paris Agreement will be achieved in practice. However, the newly elected president, Donald Trump, said that he wants to break the pact that targets to decrease the warming within 2C. He said that the U.S. should not waste financial resources to resolve the issue.
Last month, the United Nations top climate official, Patricia Espinosa, said that the Trump presidency has no Plan B. The U.S. election result has serious implications on how the world tackles the climate change.
Meanwhile, the climate officials have also been assertive since the beginning of the COP22 summit. They have agreed that there is no turning back on the Paris Agreement.
Ms. Espinosa added that "I think everyone in the world is following the election process because of the implications, and we are vigilant, but it's important to bear in mind the Paris Agreement has an incredible amount of legitimacy. It remains a treaty that is in force. What we will do is be vigilant and attentive."
Given that Donald Trump is the new president of the United States, there is still hope. Political change in unexpected ways and not everything that is happening on Earth rotates in the machinery of the US government. If countries help together the much-awaited change in the climate can be resolved, according to Vox.
