Sky News: "[Donald Trump's] campaign promise to pull out of the Paris Agreement couldn't have come at a worse time. This year is expected to be 1.5°C warmer than pre-industrial times, the very threshold the [Paris Agreement] was supposed to avoid."

"Mr. Trump just witnessed the lethal impacts of weather, like Hurricane Helene, made more extreme by warmer temperatures."

"More than 72 million Americans would have seen it too, and still voted for him—a collective apathy towards climate change that will hang heavy at these [COP29] talks."
