Did the UN just subtweet Donald Trump about the Paris climate agreement?
- Published
The UN may have been taking a sly dig at Donald Trump when it tweeted about climate change on Wednesday.
It posted on Twitter as reports surfaced that the US president is ready to pull out of a worldwide agreement.
The Paris Accord is meant to limit the global rise in temperature by reducing emissions.
Donald Trump objects to the agreement because he says it's bad for business and thinks climate change is "a hoax".
The tweet links to a video from the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres speaking at a lecture on climate change.
He says in it: "The effects of climate change are already being felt around the world.
"The more we disrupt our climate, the more we risk severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts.
"It is absolutely essential that the world implements the Paris Agreement."
Donald Trump's promise to cancel the Paris deal was part of his election campaign last year because he believes the idea of climate change has been thought up by the Chinese government.
In a today, Mr Trump said he would formally announce his decision within the "next few days".
