No one knows, nor will ever know, if man-made climate change even
exists outside of imaginative thinking and flawed computer models. So no
one can ever know if it's defeated or not. But climate change is a
handy windmill for leaders to tilt against. Their sincere opposition to
it makes them look, they think, like heavyweight statesmen and global
superstars seeking a solution.
This also happens on the national stage. Fred Barnes has observed in the Weekly Standard
that "President Obama and Democrats can't stop talking about" climate
change. Obama has even called the Paris global warming summit "a
powerful rebuke to the terrorists" because they will see the world stand
"as one."
Could a president have ever uttered a more cynical
statement than that? It has to be an effort to intentionally mislead and
obscure, because no one could truly believe those words.
Yet the
political left yearns to hear them, and Democrats happily supply them.
Meanwhile, a real threat that has killed thousands of innocents and
threatens to kill thousands more gets no U.N. summit.
