Climate Change on Trial …

Hello all. I was watching this while doing other things. Then it got so interesting with the way another culture lives and what climate change means to their life I totally concentrated on the video. I love learning new things and other cultures. I hate that in the US there are people who think the ways of other people are lessor to us. I encourage you to watch and listen to this wonderful 83 year old woman and her granddaughter. Hugs
