US environmental agency releases climate report delayed by Trump

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has said for the first time that climate change is being driven at least in part by humans.

The agency made the acknowledgement in a new report that had been delayed by the Trump White House since 2017.

The Climate Change Indicators report charts the extent to which glaciers are shrinking, sea levels are rising and flooding is increasing.

The impacts are being felt by Americans "with increasing regularity", it says.

Under former President Donald Trump, the EPA's Climate Change Indicators website was not updated, as it had been under his predecessor, Barack Obama.
