"We need this Paris agreement to preserve our Creation", she said - a rare use of religious imagery by Merkel, a pastor's daughter who is usually intensely private about her faith.

LONDON (AP) - British Prime Minister Theresa May was accused by opponents Friday of failing to stand up to the United States over its withdrawal from the Paris climate accord.

Asked if Mr Trump was right to say that the U.S. would continue to be the most environmentally friendly country in the world, Mr Terblanche said the president's announcement had been complex and would take some time to analyse.

The school noted yesterday that the number cited by Trump is "misleading" because it measures the Paris agreement's incremental impact over a previous Copenhagen agreement, and that it assumes the countries will not strengthen their commitments to fighting climate change after 2030.

"Everyone is impacted and if we do nothing our children will know a world of migrations, of wars of shortage, a unsafe world, it is not the future we want for ourselves, it is not the future we want for our children, it is not the future we want for our world".

To work together on concrete solutions for our climate, our environment. And they don't, Brainard said, align themselves with countries like Syria and Nicaragua - the only other countries outside the Paris accord.

The White House claims the accord "is a BAD deal for Americans" and that by withdrawing Mr Trump will keep "his campaign promise to put American workers first". "So, we can't build the plants, but they can, according to this agreement". "As someone who cares deeply about the environment, I can not in good conscience support [the deal]".

Macron, in a joint news conference with Bloomberg and Hidalgo, said the Paris climate pact is irreversible despite U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from it. Bloomberg said businesses, states, and cities could reach the Obama administration's Paris goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 26 percent down from 2005 levels by 2025.

Hours after Musk, Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger also announced his resignation from the US Presidential's Council on Twitter.
