"President Trump, who is not attending the meeting in the Amazonian city of Belem, was called a liar by the leaders of Colombia and Chile for his rejection of climate science. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer acknowledged the waning political support on climate change. He said it had been a unity issue internationally and in the UK but "today sadly that consensus is gone"."
"And whilst President Donald Trump isn't attending this meeting in Belem, his views on climate change are certainly on the minds of many of the other leaders present. Speaking at the UN in September, the US president said that climate change was "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world", and refuted the use of renewable energy. He said: "The entire globalist concept, asking successful industrialised nations to inflict pain on themselves and radically disrupt their entire societies, must be rejected completely and totally.""
Many world leaders criticized President Donald Trump's rejection of climate science ahead of COP30 in Belem. Several leaders, including those of Chile and Colombia, publicly accused him of lying about climate science.

Several major emitters, including India, Russia, the US and China, are absent from the summit. Delegates aim to negotiate over two weeks with emphasis on mobilising more money for forest protection. President Trump called climate change "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world" and rejected renewable energy.
