Leaders from around the world set to discuss climate change at United Nations summit in what one U.N. official said could be a 'slingshot' to catalyze global action toward reducing emissions and limiting global warming.

Leaders from around the world are set to discuss climate change on Monday at a United Nations summit in what one U.N. official said could be a"slingshot" to catalyze global action toward reducing emissions and limiting global warming.The climate summit is part of the United Nations General Assembly and was planned to"discuss a leap in collective national ambition," not unlike the Paris Climate Agreement, the 2016 agreement from which Trump vowed to withdraw the U.S. in 2017.

"The climate emergency has been declared by people, and especially young people on the streets, the world over, and this is about an appropriate response to that emergency," Kyte said. Trump's critics in the U.S. have said he abdicated the country's role as a global leader on climate change after announcing the U.S. would no longer abide by the Paris Climate Agreement.

Trump will be in New York at U.N. headquarters during the climate summit attending an unrelated event on religious freedom and religious persecution around the world. The U.S. has reduced greenhouse gas emissions significantly from 2005 to 2017, and the spokesperson said the country is a world leader in innovative energy technologies.

This is absolutely child abuse. The using of an autistic girl who only knows what she has been told which amounts to a hill of lies, and to put her out like this should be criminal. It’s absolutely appalling. My heart cries for this child.

Absolutely ridiculous. Who are her parents?

Greta Thunberg to world leaders at UNGA summit: 'We are at the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!'

I think we are foolish if we think we can change climate or weather. That is a impossible task.

well that sounds very sciency

Lies.

What GD fury,Climate Hoax,

Sounds like a parable out of Leviticus. The climate crowd is a religious cult with tax dollars. We should sue to separate the climate zealots from our federal tax dollars.

The problem is white people. They create too much carbon.

And the orange toad isn’t there. Everyone in this country should be angry about that.

Translation: we need to control what everyone does because we know better than anyone else!🙄🙄🙄

Heat shield around Sun.

That's true.

What year is it…

My opinion, He is letting down the People of Our Nation by Not at the Very Least Attending this Conference!! I Don’t Care What his personal beliefs are concerning Climate Change!! The Very Least he could do is LISTEN!! He is ACTING LIKE A CHILD!

Good! It’s not like it’s something he takes seriously.

realDonaldTrump is busy with real issues.

The UN needs to go away and take their globalization with them.

Because President Trump is smart. Case closed.

He would only disrupt and rant incoherently anyway. Best bet for the entire GA is to give him some coloring books and a sweets and let him play off to the side away from the grown ups, just send some one over to play dear leader with him every so often so he thinks he is included

Unfortunately the meeting was at the same time as Fox and Friends.

He is beneath contempt!!😡

Hay diferentes eventos que son del interés de quienes asisten, además el presidente no los censura, cada cual se informa y si puede colaborar ayuda.

He better get tf over there

If he did attend, the MSM would still say he was wrong with whatever he said. Our country cuts C02 better than most. No more taxes, higher energy prices and higher gas prices please. Thank you.

Science is too hard for potus.

What? He don’t want to part take in the human trafficking syndicate. thewhistleblower movie

Of course POTUS won’t attend he thinks he knows everything so he feels no need to go. Climate change is real

🤡🤡🤡

Still waiting for the Ice Age we were promised in the 70”s and the catastrophic damage from Acid Rain in the 80’s..It’s another liberal fear tactic to push the ignorant to the polls.

Honestly they are better off without his spectacle. He’s just a walking bag of air that takes up space.

Trump should've gone but 1 meeting won't change the environment. He could've gone and nothing would've changed.

Our President will be discussing Religious Freedom.

Do they really want someone who refuses to believe the science? It’s bad enough that we have to put up with him in the WH. Why give him the opportunity to taint anything else?

Leaders from around the world are set to discuss climate change at a United Nations summit in what one U.N. official says could be a 'slingshot' to catalyze global action. Pres. Trump is not scheduled to attend. via

I hope they ask the 90 Italian Scientists who call CC a HOAX !!!

Start with China!!!

ClimateChangeHoax FakeNewsMedia LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Carbon dioxides doesn't cause in global warming. Undersea tunnels may cause in it. Because maybe there is something including methane in certain stratum in equilibrium not only undersea but also underground and may cool whole earth's surface. The equilibrium may be easily broken.

Noise and nonsense. Zzzz

Of course... because he’s not just a birther, he’s an anti-earther.

FRAUD

' 'The climate emergency has been declared by people, and especially young people on the streets, the world over, and this is about an appropriate response to that emergency,' Kyte said.' Mob rule? Off with the non-believer's heads?

Climate change is real. Has been for over 4 billion years.

“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.” -Adolf Hitler

What do you expect from a non leader. Hurry up 2020 get this bozo out of here.

One thing for sure his position on climate change don't represent the majority of the American people. In fact what Trump says and does dosen't. He holds the title of President, but that is about as far as it goes. I hope the rest of world knows all of that.

Climate change is abstract bullshit . Are they going to discuss the bombing of the Saudi oil fields ?

How many private jets will be used to travel to this summit

What happened to the Paris Accord? 😂

Global goals? We have to stop globalization of the earth...

Good it's a hoax

What a travesty that Trump isn't attending. Although not surprising. One has to wonder if he really dosen't believe in climate change or it is politically expedient for him not to. Since is so self centered it's likely the latter. If so, another reason to impeach.

trump should sit out the UNGA all together. He’s useless.

Of course not! He's too busy not leaving the office and not play golf, unlike his predecessor.

Good cause the UN will ask the US to pay for it.

Hope someone will represent him

The man represents an existential threat not just to the country, but to the world. SpeakerPelosi

He's focusing on things he can control for the American people.

no need to chit chat about the weather

Probably because the United States would be expected to pay for the bulk of the funding they will require.

Hey this is awesome, we get all these wonderful leaders who we didn't elect make decisions for us now.. Yaaaa globalism. 💩👍

Of course. He prefers 'catapult'. Slingshot is too modern for him.

The world needs to walk out when he speaks later this week.

Of course he's shipping it! It's not about him! 🙄

There is something including methane not always under ground but also under ocean floor and it may have cooled all the earth's surface for a long time. Frozen methane hydrate has been found at seafloors near lands. That may be it. If so, it's kept in equilibrium and easily broken

Are they going to listen to the scientists?

Good! It’s a democrat hoax’s !

Because none of them smoke, don’t do e-cigarettes, don’t do vaping

And Trump skips it.

How many individual airplanes were used to fly all leaders in? Maybe a conference call could have been set up

That's because President Trump, isn't complicit in the biggest crock of crap to ever be pulled over on the weak minded...

TRUMP AGAIN HUMILIATED AMERICA .... SAD

a6a250e936ac4c7 They have to stop spraying the chemicals from the military planes and stop killing people and land around the world

Trump doesn't care & he has the attention span of a 1 year old! 🙄

Or it could be called the “how to steal money from the American taxpayer so we get more power” meeting.

POTUS is the only sane person here.

Cuenteros de mierdaaa 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Yea.. I hardly think so.

Hope the make the Muslim Iranians stay home

The countries that signed the Paris accord aren’t keeping up, and China, the biggest producer, isn’t doing anything. The U.S. is cutting their C02 emissions quite well. No more higher taxes and gas prices.

Now that's a president looking out for America. Keep us out of that damn thing!

Our President is busy while they play in their fantasy land. Get off his back and let him do his job. He's winning and I'll proudly vote for him again

Greta4NobelPrize

Nature reacts towards behaviour

Stand with Thompson in the war on climate change. Starting on day one we will begin converting our power grid to solar power. Where every home and business has their own power supply. Additionally only EV cars will be sold in America. That's just the opening Salvo!

The UN and any government are completely impotent to have ANY affect concerning this pretend crisis- which is nothingmore than a power and $ grab.

Biggest polluters are China and India. If no changes there it won’t work.

Wow

Trump is an ignorant sod. World LEADERS gather to talk and maybe act upon climate change for the benefit of the world. Mr ORANGE holds his own conference on the correct way to tap a tamborine... and he wants to be seen as a great leader ?

Gee, let's hope they can convince India to give up their COWS!

Of course Trump is skipping this he doesn’t care about climate change the rest of the world does.

Climate hoax continues. It's Big money. 😂😂

How many people and Hollywood stars on hand will arrive on private jets?

Just a money grab to kill capitalism.

What a waste of time. I guess nothing more important is happening in the world - all the children are being fed, neighboring countries love each other, no catastrophes happening. Nothing left to talk about but hoaxes.

Hopefully they take into account the rise in windmill cancer....

Spain2NYC There is no bottom with him. He's a snake.

Spain2NYC Not Trump!! Actual World Leaders!!

Likely best the White House Occupant not attend; that summit will have lots of three-syllable-words and sciencey-stuff

Bc they didn't promise only pictures... Who has time for words, BIG WORDS 🤣 DumpTrump saveourcountry

I am putting money on that ignorant trump will excuse himself from this meeting and go play on his phone.

Just another case of Trump being stubborn on a subject that he should be involved with. He is the so called leader but is not acting that way. Because he does not believe in science and of climate change, the U.S. will not be part of the discussion to help correct the problems.

He has to put on a bigger show

YangGang YangBeatsTrump TrumpFearsYang

Yes. Get this damn ChiComs to stop polluting earth.

All the actual leaders of the world. The one defector won’t be missed. What a sham this country is turning into. With people like realDonaldTrump FLOTUS VP and almost most vile of all for her fake servitude and pretending to love children SecondLady.

ClimateChange

Unless China and India do something nothing matters. They pollute the earth more then all other countries combined

Can I translate Leaders from around the world discuss how they can fleece the United States taxpayers with their phony climate change scams which could be a slingshot into enriching their own pockets!!

Why should he be there? He knows nothing about science. Besides, compared to the rest of the UN countries, America has done VERY well with environmental issues.

President Trump skipped that meeting because he probably couldn’t make it. Too busy schedule. I am sure he cares about the welfare of our planet 🌎 Don’t you? 🤔

Hayward may be a welcome lecture to view. Only if you are open to discussion.

It’s China that matters. 4th gen nuclear is only answer.

- The United States is the world leader in reducing emissions. - Emissions don’t cause “global warming” - also, global warming doesn’t exist

Fake issue for stupid people

One “leader” won’t be.

Another global wealth redistribution plan? No point in being there.

Because he don’t care about the world

What earth needs is another sky is falling proclamation. I can publish over 100 in my lifetime that did not come true off the top of my head.

I was told the polar bears would be dead and Miami underwater, but instead we have obama buying mansions on the beach

Of course he did 🙄
