From Politico:

MAYOR OF THE WORLD — per a tipster: “America’s Pledge, the climate organization co-chaired by Mike Bloomberg and Governor Jerry Brown , launched a digital protest at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday. The ads coincide with President Trump’s arrival in Davos and they call on the President to stay in the Paris Agreement on Climate. They are running across social media and digital news sites in Davos, which ensures that they will be seen by attendees at the World Economic Forum. The hard-hitting spots go after President Trump by reminding everyone that while India and Pakistan, Israel and Iran, and North Korea and South Korea rarely agree on much, they all agree on the Paris Agreement on Climate.” Watch the video here.
