Donald Trump has been lambasted by a German newspaper with the headline 'Earth to Trump - f**k you!' after he pulled out of the Paris climate change accord as world leaders unite to criticise him.
The Berliner Kurier used the expletive headline as German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday vowed 'more decisive action than ever' to protect the climate after the US pullout.
'We in Germany, in Europe and the world will band together to take more decisive action than ever to confront and successfully surmount major challenges to humanity such as climate change,' she told reporters.
She pledged her country's continued commitment to the accord, saying it was a 'cornerstone' of attempts to protect 'our Creation'.
In a short statement to the German parliament, Merkel said there was no turning back from the path that began with the 1997 Kyoto climate protocol and continued with 2015's 'historic' Paris deal.
'The decision of the US President to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement is very regrettable, and I'm expressing myself in a very reserved way when I say that,' she said, adding that the deal was needed to protect the environment.
'To everyone for whom the future of our planet is important, I say let's continue going down this path so we're successful for our Mother Earth,' she said to applause from lawmakers.
President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker said there can be no 'backsliding' from the agreement as China, the world's bigger polluter, said it would like to uphold the 'hard-won' Paris Accord.
Speaking at a summit with China business leaders in Brussels on Friday Juncker said: 'China and the European Union are aligned on the need for international solutions.

From a land where electricity is deemed a luxury and their national car cheats on pollution.
The remaining 190+ countries can handle things.
Perhaps their outrage is over the fact that the US isn’t going to be dishing out tens of billions in aid.
The Earf is bilingual! Hu knew?
In true German fashion, the media mouthpiece of Merkel spews vulgarity.
Remember those Hitlery ads in 2016 pearl clutching because Trump said “pussy” in a private conversation ten years ago?
My my just listen to them squeal. They all have the smell of swamp about them. When one uses foul language it expresses true ignorance.
I TRUST TRUMP!
I’ll never understand these enviro weenies.
They tell us the US is NOT important, and NOT the be all end all.
Then, when we opt out of their silly socialist plans, the US is destroying the entire planet.
Make up your minds, already.
Germany gets to pay for NATO.
Now they get to pay for the climate change fraud too.
Sweet.
These climate Nazi’s need an ass whooping!
Idiot Germans.
They’d rather let tens of thousands of muzzies in to destroy their country. If/When they ever have reform, then get back to me.
Hey, Germany
STFU. We whipped your asses twice. We can do it again.
And we don’t even get a reach-around.
I’m proud to have a POTUS strong enough to stand alone when necessary, to take care of our country..
You know, maybe we made a mistake by letting VE day happen before we dropped an A-bomb on Berlin.
I think it is “Ficken Sie” in the polite form of address.
Why did we protect these people from Stalin again?
Oh well! We aren’t going to protect them from Saheed, that’s for sure.
