US President Donald Trump may dismiss climate change as a "con job" -- but for the leader of the twin island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis, its toll is unmistakable: land swallowed, homes battered, and livelihoods threatened. Prime Minister Terrance Drew, responding to Trump's blistering attack on the science of planet-warming fossil fuels at the United Nations, said: "Everyone has the opportunity to express themselves." But for his 45,000 countrymen and women, "it is not a matter of any discussion, it is a reality we are living," Drew told AFP on the sidelines of the world's body's high-level week in New York.
