Trump's U.N. nominee breaks with the president on climate change

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump’s nominee to serve as the next ambassador to the United Nations publicly broke with him on climate change Wednesday, stating at her Senate confirmation hearing that she believes fossil fuels and human behavior contribute to the planet’s shifting weather phenomena — but stopping short of endorsing a return to international pacts like the Paris Climate Agreement.

Kelly Knight Craft, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, stressed to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that “human behavior has contributed to the change in climate. Let there be no doubt.”

“I also understand that fossil fuels have played a part in climate change,” she later added.

But Craft rejected urging the United States to make a return to the Paris agreement, warning that such pacts could “imperil” American jobs.
