Sir, – The US president, Donald Trump, is a having a bad time with weather.

His inauguration on January 20th was disrupted by low temperatures and high winds. As a result, the ceremony was moved indoors, the first time in 40 years.

The US July 4th celebrations were disrupted by scorching temperatures not seen since 1901.

These extremes are caused by climate change, probably man-made. Trump, please wake up!

– Yours, etc,
