China and Europe pledged today to unite to save "Mother Earth" in the face of US President Donald's Trump's decision to take the world's largest carbon polluter out of the Paris climate change pact. Kremlin aide Andrei Belousov said the US move punched a gaping hole in the Paris accord. German industry associations also criticised Trump's decision, warning that it would harm the global economy and lead to market distortions. "Climate protection can be pushed forward in an effective and competition-friendly way only by all states," said DIHK President Eric Schweitzer.
