Clinton questions Trump’s climate change record and urges votes not to vote for a ‘climate change denier’

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has joined forces with former vice-president Al Gore to urge America’s voters not to risk sending a “climate change denier” to the White House.

In a joint address in Miami, Clinton and Gore criticised the Republican nominee for his stance on climate change and his belief that global warming is a hoax initiated by the Chinese

“Climate change is real, it’s urgent, and America can take the lead in the world in addressing it,” Clinton said, promising investment in clean energy.

“We can transform our economy, we can rally the world to cut carbon pollutions and above all we can fulfill our moral obligation to protect the planet. Just remember what is at stake. My opponent is a guy who denies science, who denies climate change every day.”
