Malpas was the "veteran" of the Republican government of the US. He served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the old Bush government. In 2019, he was the head of the World Bank by the US President Trump. Traditionally, the position of the bank governor of the World is held by the United States.

Trump has always been skeptical of climate change, and Malpas is not active in dealing with climate crisis. Earlier, some climate activists called for removal of Malpas. After Malpas attended a meeting organized by the New York Times this week, this voice became rising.

During this event, when asked about the former Vice President Gore, the former US Vice President Gore said that it was a denied climate change, Malpas repeatedly refused to answer whether he thought that he artificially warmed the earth, but avoided saying: "I am said," I am Not a scientist. "

This quickly aroused criticism of many people. On the one hand, this is inconsistent with the current US Democratic government's position on climate change; on the other hand, internationally, all parties hope that international organizations such as the World Bank will play a greater role in responding to climate change and promoting sustainable development. In the more and more criticism of criticism, some media broke the news that "Bayon considers the withdrawal of Malpas."

Faced with the crisis, Marpas rejected his statement about his might resign and showed a strong "desire for survival". He has also clarified his position many times in recent days. In an interview with CNN on Thursday, Malpas clearly acknowledged that human emissions exacerbated climate warming and emphasized that "I am not a (climate change) denyer."
