ABC: Trump skips UN climate summit that could be ‘slingshot’ toward global goals
World leaders are set to discuss ambitious plans to combat climate change at a summit in New York on Monday.
Trump is instead attending an unrelated event on religious persecution.
If you plant ONE tree this week, you will be doing more than President Trump, who decided to skip today's urgent U.N. conference on climate change. I don't have anything funny or clever to add to that. Sorry.
