"WASHINGTON - Former New York mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg said on Sunday he will write a $4.5 million check to cover this year’s U.S. financial commitment to the Paris Climate Agreement.
President Donald Trump last year pulled the United States out of the pact, making the country the only one opposed to it.
Bloomberg, in a CBS interview, said he hopes by next year Trump will have changed his mind."
