Con Job? Climate Change Is My Job, Says Island Nation Leader
The aviation industry highlights sustainable aviation fuel as key to cutting emissions during New York Climate Week amid political dispute over climate science.
- On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump dismissed climate change in a U.N. speech while the aviation sector promoted sustainable aviation fuel at New York Climate Week.
- Donald Trump has long criticized climate science and policies supporting wind power and solar power, and this year the backdrop to United Nations meetings was particularly tense.
- Leader of St. Kitts and Nevis said land and livelihoods are threatened, and the UN Global Center for Climate Mobility projects more than eight million permanent movers by mid-century.
- Officials and experts responded to the U.S. president's remarks, with Ireland's Minister Darragh O'Brien rejecting the attack and Stanford University climate scientist Rob Jackson warning that U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rollbacks have harmed air and water quality.
- Taken together, scientific consensus and economics frame the debate over emissions reductions, as the IPCC reported human influence has unequivocally warmed the planet and renewables were cheapest last year.
