Description

How does he feel about Trump withdrawing from the Paris climate change agreement? “It’s a real mistake,” Kilmer said. “We have a moral obligation to address climate change. I represent 11 Native American tribes, four of them coastal. They’re trying to relocate because their village is threatened by rising sea levels. And changes in ocean chemistry are already affecting shellfish.”
