When confronted with his choice to leave the climate agreements, Donald Trump simply does not believe in climate change, he says.

In 2017 he even stated that ‘’climate change was created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non-competitive’’- something he later claimed was a joke.

Since Donald Trump came into office in 2017, the US carbon (CO2) emissions have risen 3,48% according to data from the World Development Indicators.
