US President Donald Trump launched a sharp critique of climate science during his address at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), terming climate change the 'greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world' and dismissing global efforts to tackle it as misguided. While several world leaders, including UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, used their speeches to call for urgent climate action, Trump's remarks took a markedly different tone.
