The U.S. President Donald Trump, while addressing the 50th annual meeting of World Economic Forum at Davos, announced that U.S. was joining a new international initiative called the “one trillion trees” project.
He said that he wanted to conserve “the majesty of God’s creation and the natural beauty of our world.”
Strangely he called the “perennial prophets of doom” on the environment, telling that warnings of climate crisis were “foolish”.
Climate activist teenager Ms. Greta Thunberg said planting trees was not enough to address climate change.
