President Trump was under attack on Thursday as world leaders lined up to criticise his stance on climate change ahead of the global COP30 summit.
The US leader, who is absent from the gathering in the Amazonian city of Belém, was called a liar for his rejection of climate science and "against humankind" for his rollback of key climate policies.
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer acknowledged the waning political consensus on the issue. He said climate change was once a unity issue but "today however, sadly that consensus is gone".
Over the next two weeks countries will try and negotiate a new deal on climate change, with a particular focus on channelling more money to forest protection.
Many leaders from the world's largest nations – India, Russia, US and China - are notably absent from this year's summit.
And whilst President Donald Trump isn't attending this meeting in Belém, his views on climate change are certainly on the minds of many of the other leaders present.
Speaking at the UN in September, the US president said that climate change was "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world", and refuted the use of renewable energy.
He said: "The entire globalist concept, asking successful industrialised nations to inflict pain on themselves and radically disrupt their entire societies, must be rejected completely and totally."
Without naming the US leader, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil warned on Thursday of "extremist forces that fabricate fake news and are condemning future generations to life on a planet altered forever by global warming".
The leaders of Chile and Colombia went further, calling the US president a liar, and asking other countries to ignore US efforts to move away from climate action.
Maisa Rojas, Chile's environment minister, told the BBC: "The science..."

These grifters are getting uppity......................
They can't compete with America in the marketplace, so they are hoping
to ensare America with socialist regulations. No sale.
Here’s a saying that I like. President Trump, please feel free to use it.
“Do not expect me to participate in your fantasies.”
“sadly that consensus is gone”.
Well then that consensus was BS wasn’t it.
“No sale.”
At least until we have President AOC. Shudder!
In other news world leaders criticized President Trump for refusing to join them on their annual Unicorn hunt.
Lol.
Right up there with “The science is settled...don’t you peasants DARE question us!”
Love it.
As for climate ‘inaction”. it’s bullschtein. Saw an excellent graph on Powerline Blog showing that climate changes over the years. It’s been far, far warmer on Earth and far cooler too. Those were in years before cars or airplanes exhisted and oil was all underground.
Awesome!! Let all those countries bankrupt themselves on the Alter of Gaia! We will take their place in the world economy. Germany has already killed its energy production and raised energy prices so much that manufacturers are fleeing Germany to locations with lower energy prices. Good bye good jobs.
All for what? Reducing the planet's temperature by 0.02 degrees in the year 2125?
What a collection of weak minds.
And all the "green" crap is an environmental disaster. Non-recyclable technologies, high hazardous waste streams, hundreds of millions of tons of concrete buried in the ground.
These loser “countries” just have their greedy hands out demanding money from Uncle Sap over a non-existent problem.
Let these morons complain to China.
How much heat are they putting on the Chinese? They attack the USA because they think we have the deepest pockets. They would be wrong.
The hoax is failing daily as the need for more and more cheap reliable power increases, people will shove the eviro nuts aside.
“The US leader, who is absent from the gathering in the Amazonian city of Belém, was called a liar for his rejection of climate science and “against humankind” for his rollback of key climate policies.”
After shutting down the border, this is the thing I most support him for.
