It would effectively be “game over for the climate” said Professor Michael Mann, a leading climate scientist based at Pennsylvania State University.

“If we are going to avert catastrophic climate change impacts, we must limit warming below 1.5°C. Another four years of what we have seen under Trump, which is to outsource environmental and energy policy to the polluters and dismantle protections put in place by the previous administration, would make that essentially impossible.

“It is a make or break election when it comes to the climate. There is no other way to put it.”
