Donald Trump has lashed out at the 'perennial prophets of doom' who warn that the world is in a major environmental crisis, as he addressed an audience in Davos including Greta Thunberg.

Swooping in for his second appearance at the conference, Mr Trump was set to depart on Wednesday, jetting back to Washington, which is consumed by the impeachment trial.
