#COP25 concluded. Adding hot air to our warming planet.

#HowDareYou USA This is a disgusting crime against humanity and creation. The US abandoned the agreement then ripped it apart to ensure its doom before walking out the door. @SpeakerPelosi @KathyCastorFL This is the highest crime of this administration! Please stop his madness.
