UN scientist claims Trump ‘poses the single greatest threat’ to Earth’s climate

A former UN lead author of the United Nations climate reports, Dr. Michael Mann, has ramped up the stakes of the new “dire” UN climate change report by claiming the “latest [UN] report underscores the danger that [President] Donald Trump poses to the planet.”

The UN report “makes clear we need to reduce emissions dramatically, vastly exceeding our Paris targets. Yet Trump probably poses the single greatest threat to meeting those targets,” Mann, a Penn State professor, told ThinkProgress on October 8.

But, even before the 2016 presidential election, Mann warned that Trump was a “threat to the planet,” whose future “could quite literally lie in the balance.” Mann has been at the center of controversy over his Hockey Stick temperature graph and his involvement in the Climategate scandal.
