Reject climate change deniers, says President

President Michael D Higgins has called on people to reject climate change deniers.

In an address in Paris on the environmental threats posed to earth, Mr Higgins said those who are most affected by drought, floods, fire, and intense weather must be at the centre of any response.

“We need to break away from a destructive relationship with the diversity that is life on our planet towards a new paradigm of existence, one that will be built on the respect we must have for the wonderment and renewal of nature,” the President said.
