The Paris climate agreement will survive a Trump presidency says the US special envoy on climate change Dr Jonathan Pershing.
He was speaking before the arrival of ministers and some heads of state in Marrakech on Tuesday.
They are coming to try to take the next steps to tackle global climate change.

US lead negotiator Dr Pershing told a packed news briefing that the passion and dedication displayed in the effort to deliver the Paris treaty was strong enough to withstand the impacts of Trump presidency.
“Heads of state can and will change but I am confident that we can and we will sustain a durable international effort to counter climate change,” he said.
Dr Pershing said that he expected personnel from the Trump transition team to start arriving at the State Department in the coming weeks and they would drive the “shape and thrust” of US diplomacy over the next four years.

Of course the Climate changes. My God, does anyone even look at the ice core samples anymore?
They show the Earth has been through several Tropical Ages, and several Ice Ages...
Praying that Trump stops this insanity.
Dr. Delusional Pershing got his Ph.D. from the University of Dumb.
What is this guy’s address and where do his kids go to school?
Sure they are.
I’m fed up with liberals engaging in Third World nation-building with our tax dollars under the label of climate change.
Time to terminate this Obama slush fund experiment.
Not one the Climate Change idiots can speak to the details of the “science” they parade as an immutable epiphany.
Soon to be the former US special envoy on climate change Dr. Jonathan Pershing.

This Pershing pinhead must be a doctor of ignorance and lies. What a fool. Fire him ASAP.
That’s not all they show- they also show that CO2 rises approximately 800 YEARS AFTER temperatures rise- proving conclusively that CO2 is not driving climate change-

You are delusional. Just a handshake agreement, not worth the paper it was written on and not ratified.
It’s burnt toast...
The same logic is used to justify the Federal Reserve
its just so important, its bigger than all of us, it does a job few can understand, and the risks are so great - you just CAN’T touch it.
Someone needs to tell the “Head Negotiator” that the senate ratifies treaties, not the president or his head negotiator.
How many divisions does Brussels have?
President Trump: “Dr. Pershing, you’re fired!”
Dr Pershing is desperately trying to sound relevant while enjoying his taxpayer funded junket to Morocco.
He knows the whole thing is a waste of time and money but yet he presses on look a good little government bureaucrat.
Is Myron wearing a Dont Tread On Me pin?
