MARRAKECH, Morocco Climate scientists and environmental activists are alarmed that Donald
Trump was elected as the next U.S. president. The activists are people who fight against climate
change. Climate change includes the harmful effect that humans have on the Earth, like driving cars,
littering and drilling for gasses.
Trump denies that global warming exists. Global warming, one example of climate change, means that
temperatures are increasing around the world. This can be very harmful to the planet.
Scientists are troubled by Trump's election win. He has not promised to help save the environment.
Before being elected, Trump promised to undo President Barack Obama's environmental programs.
Some scientists warned that with Trump as president, global warming will worsen.
as temperatures rise, ice in the Arctic and Antarctic melt. This causes rising sea levels and floods in
certain countries.
