Bill McKibben on U.S. Withdrawal from Paris Accord, California Fires, Climate Refugees & More

"The decision of the United States to be the only country on Earth … unwilling to take part in a global attempt at a solution to the greatest crisis we've ever faced — there's a lot to be ashamed of in the Trump years and a lot of terrible things that have happened — it's pretty hard to top that," says McKibben.
