German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she won’t give up trying to persuade doubters among her global peers that climate change is real, signaling her message for a Group of Seven summit starting Friday.
Merkel called on countries to uphold the Paris Agreement to combat climate change and limit the rise of global temperatures, which was brokered by nearly 200 nations in 2015 and entered into force in November. U.S. President Donald Trump, who has called global warming a hoax, may be on the verge of saying whether he’ll stick to the pact.
