Trump, who has hada share of controversies in his relationshipwith Britain, and Charles have different stances when it comes to one of the royal’s most important causes: climate change.
Queen Elizabeth‘s son hashighlighted the effects of climate changein his decades of public work, having made his first speech on the environment in December 1968 and continues to work with organizations to promote sustainable ways of living while warning of climate change’s irreversible effect.
Meanwhile, Trump has dismissed the damage of global warming, even quoting climate skeptics who claim it to be“fake science.”

“This is about sending a strong message that people in the U.K. don’t accept the divisive right-wing policies that Trump stands for, and that inviting him for a state visit is totally inappropriate,” the Stop Trump Coalition said in a statement.
