Summarization
David Malpass, the President of the World Bank, who was accused of denying climate change, has announced that he will step down early. A reporter for the New York Times, @dgelles, had asked Malpass about the connection between fossil fuels and climate change a year ago, to which he responded that he was not a scientist. Subsequently, @dgelles reported on the current development of alternative energy sources. The departure of Malpass was a surprise, as Biden officials had made it clear they did not want him in the role. His departure has been met with celebration and criticism, with some viewing it as a step in the right direction, while others questioning the necessity during a pandemic and a cold winter.

Emotional Analysis
The tweets express a range of emotions, from surprise to relief to anger. The surprise comes from the sudden announcement that David Malpass, the president of the World Bank, will step down early, after refusing to answer a question about whether or not he believes fossil fuels cause climate change. Relief is expressed in the recognition of the World Bank's commitment to no longer invest in activities that add to carbon emissions. Anger is evident in the frustration of Malpass's denial of climate change and in the recognition of the current climate crisis.
