President Donald Trump announces he will withdraw from Paris climate accord for second time.

The move is a defiant rejection of global efforts to combat planetary warming as catastrophic weather events intensify worldwide.

The Republican leader also said his administration would declare a "national energy emergency" to significantly expand drilling in the world's top oil and gas producer.

Critics warn it could embolden other major polluters like China and India to scale back their own commitments.
