You might have noticed that Donald Trump is generating more controversial headlines than usual today - largely because of his decision to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement, which the world's biggest nations have signed up to in a bid to combat climate change.
The move has been met with criticism from a number of quarters, not least Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, a vocal climate change campaigner.
Yorke took to Twitter to call the US president a 'f**king clown' - and a number of other musicians, actors and celebrities have echoed his feelings, with John Legend referring to him as an 'asshole' and Bette Midler calling him 'short-sighted':

We have to stop this asshole. This is urgent. You have to vote in 2018.

Short-sighted #DonaldTrump quits Climate Accords. Think of all the time effort & money poured into this & he bails giving BigOil a windfall.

Trump just committed a crime against humanity. This admitted predator has now expanded his predatory acts to the entire planet. #ParisAccord

Trump in one breath claims that the Paris Accord is non-binding AND will cost the U.S. jobs. Huh? His withdrawal is crass political theater.
