World Bank chief David Malpass tells CNN he agrees humans burning fossil fuels have caused the climate crisis after dodging the same question earlier
New York City World Bank President David Malpass told CNN on Thursday that he agrees climate change is caused by humans burning fossil fuels and that he is"not a denier," after his repeated refusal to say the same things at an earlier discussion, which have prompted calls for his resignation.
At a panel discussion on Tuesday, Malpass dodged a question over whether he accepted the scientific consensus that humans burning fossil fuels were"rapidly and dangerously warming the planet." "I don't even know -- I'm not a scientist and that is not a question," Malpass responded when asked at the discussion, held by the New York Times at Climate Week in New York City.
