Climate change: Michael Bloomberg pledges $4.5m for Paris dealFormer New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says he will pay $4.5m (£3.2m) to cover some of the lapsed US commitment to the Paris climate accord. The money promised by Mr Bloomberg does not aim to cover this, but the US contribution to the UN's climate change secretariat. Mr Bloomberg said he hoped that by next year Mr Trump will have reconsidered his position on the deal. What is in the Paris climate agreement? The deal unites all the world's nations in a single agreement on tackling climate change for the first time in history.
