Climate talks open in Germany amid anger over Trump’s coal support

The latest round of UN led climate talks have opened in Bonn with delegates from almost 200 countries in attendance.

Over the next two weeks, negotiators hope to clarify the rulebook of the Paris climate agreement, BBC News reports.

It is the first major meeting since President Trump announced plans to take the US out of the Paris pact last June.

Many delegates are unhappy with White House plans to promote fossil fuels here as a "solution" to climate change.

An adviser to the president is expected to take part in a pro-coal presentation in the second week of this conference, which is officially known as COP23,

Separately, a group of governors will say that the US is still committed to climate action despite Mr Trump's rejection of the Paris agreement.
