J.K. Rowling sends massive F U to Trump over Paris Climate Agreement
Young people, climate advocates, and world leaders have expressed their anger and disappointment after Donald Trump announced his decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement.
And, J.K. Rowling has weighed in with an "up yours"-- with a little help from German tabloid Berliner Kurier's shady-ass front cover.
The cover reads: "Earth to Trump: Fuck you!"

Trump's announcement heralds a significant shift in American leadership's place in the world, and a step in the wrong direction when it comes to limiting the impact of global warming. J.K. Rowling has been a consistent critic of Trump's policies, most notably fighting back when Trump reinstated an anti-abortion policy as one of his very first acts as POTUS.
In January, Trump reinstated the Mexico City Policy, known as the global gag rule, preventing non-governmental organisations working abroad from receiving federal funding for family planning if they perform abortions or even talk to their clients about abortion. Tell us how you really feel, Rowling!
