Prime Minister Mia Mottley: Climate, Immigration, and the Power of Small Nations

So how do you bridge this moment in time?

What Now? with Trevor Noah

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Prime Minister Mia Mottley: Climate, Immigration, and the Power of Small Nations

What do I mean?

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Prime Minister Mia Mottley: Climate, Immigration, and the Power of Small Nations

Methane.

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Prime Minister Mia Mottley: Climate, Immigration, and the Power of Small Nations

What Now? with Trevor Noah
Prime Minister Mia Mottley: Climate, Immigration, and the Power of Small Nations

Methane stays in the atmosphere for 12 to 15 years.
