Following the episode dedicated to climate change, this time the Dataroom column in Corriere della Sera, edited by journalist Milena Gabanelli — best known for the ten years she spent leading the television programme Report — has chosen to focus on the war on climate and the environment declared by United States president Donald Trump.

"From deregulation on pesticides to the scrapping of limits imposed on emissions from power plants, by way of relaunching the most polluting energy source, coal, Donald Trump has shown the full extent of his hostility to any environmental protection policy," write Gabanelli together with her colleague Massimo Gaggi. "Up to and including the shocking accusation of wanting to make room again for a deadly substance like asbestos. Convinced that he bears no planetary responsibilities, and seeing himself as the president of those who elected him rather than of all Americans, as soon as he arrived at the White House Trump withdrew the US from the Paris Agreement on global warming. He doesn't believe in it. In return, he has introduced measures destined to raise the planet's temperature still further."
