I Think I Can Hear Them Laughing

A host of world leaders are about to gather in Paris to discuss climate change and perhaps come to some agreement on how to fight it.  It such an important event, that many around the world are thrilled at the prospect.

We already know that China and India, two of the biggest polluters on the planet are happy to see the Paris conference proceed.  China, for example, understands that any deal in Paris will put all sorts of restrictions on the economies of its main competitors while leaving China free to proceed as it wishes.  Just think of the "historic" climate change agreement that president Obama got from the Chinese.  Under that deal, America limits its emissions now and China does nothing for 15 years after which it "attempts" to reduce emissions.  Translating that into English, China has no restrictions, the USA has many restrictions and Obama and the mainstream media pronounce that idiocy a "great success".  The Chinese expect Paris to produce something very similar.  India, while not as large an economy as China, expects even better treatment at Paris.  Not only will the Indians do nothing, but they expect to get cash from the developed world to help the country deal with climate change.

Then there's underdeveloped countries in South America, Africa and Asia.  They are almost giddy at the prospect of getting paid by the West for cooperating in the climate change battle which will require them to give lip service to the cause but do nothing real in the fight.  It's a thrilling prospect for them.

Most of all, let's not forget ISIS and the various other radical Islamic terrorists.  The world is coming together to discuss a problem and it is not how to deal with them.  The terrorists understand how foolish it is for the world's leaders to try to control the weather.  All the attention put on climate change just allows the terrorists more time to grow and spread.

The real truth is that as the West moves into the climate change conference trying to combat this "scourge", it may well be that we deserve all the troubles that the effort brings upon us.  Sadly, though, those who will be hurt will be many more than just the "scientists" who push this false narrative and the "trendy" leaders who support that effort in order to satisfy the left and those who have been taken in by the story.  The effort will hurt us all. 

It's time for America, at least, to pull back from the climate change delusion.  We can let the scientists continue to study what is happening with the weather, but unless and until they come back with something that is real and supported by actual UNADJUSTED data, our efforts ought be focused on keeping the country safe, growing the economy and helping individual Americans get the opportunity to lead productive, safe and happy lives.
