The U.N. climate talks are focused on reducing fossil fuels. The U.S. showed up and promoted coal
Protesters on Monday disrupted the Trump administration’s only official event at the U.N. climate conference — a panel defending fossil fuels — with laughter and chants of “Keep it in the ground.”
Scores of demonstrators from youth and indigenous groups let President Trump’s energy advisor Wells Griffith get 10 minutes into his policy talk before erupting into loud, prolonged guffaws followed by chanting.
"Trump's presence here is a joke. His only priority is ensuring fossil fuel CEOs squeeze every last dollar out of our communities," said Aneesa Khan, 23, with SustainUS, a U.S.-based, youth-led advocacy group. The panel embracing coal, natural gas and nuclear power highlighted the United States’ near-outlier status as nearly 200 other nations worked to address scientists’ warnings.
