The U.S. Joins Iran, Yemen and Libya in Exclusive ‘Climate Club’ — Will Other Nations Join?
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, reports on the United States’ withdrawal from the Global Climate Alliance under President Donald Trump. This action aligns the U.S., the world’s largest oil producer, with nations like Iran, Yemen, and Libya, which have also rejected climate commitments. McIntyre warns that the U.S.’s decision could trigger other major polluting nations, such as China and India, to follow suit, jeopardizing international climate efforts.
