In a 90 minute long conversation with Prince Charles at Winfield House yesterday, Trump found himself yet again faced with the same pressures to discuss the climate emergency we face. Yes, he did dismiss the issue, and yes, he did claim that the US has one of the cleanest climates, but somewhere in his usual babble of blame placing, he used the word ‘agree’.
“He [Prince Charles] wants to make sure future generations have climate that is good climate, as opposed to a disaster, and I agree.”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but that was very un-Trump like. Is it possible the climate-wall is falling down? Is his icy-exterior starting to melt? Pardon the terrible puns, but you get what I mean.
The Prince of Wales did well to approach Trump in a manner that regarded respect from the US president, but Sir David Attenborough insists he would call upon the power of evidence to convince the leader to change his view.
Having previously called Trump ‘blind’ to the seriousness of the environmental issues, Attenborough detailed the top-line issues facing the world today alongside the notion that if we make changes now we can avoid this ‘disaster’ that not even Trump wants.
In an interview with the Independent, Sir David Attenborough said: “I have no idea as to whether I could convince [Trump], but it would be cowardly not to take up the challenge, would it not?”
Well Charles, David, Donald – my place 7pm? Let the din- I mean debating commence!
