Modern Day Versions of King Canute Find It Difficult To Replace God

WUWT
I learned in school that King Canute (990 – 1035 AD) was the most stupid King in English history. He was so ignorant and arrogant he believed he could stop the tide. World leaders in Paris led by President Obama, who promised to stop sea level rise in his election campaign, are the modern day equivalent of Canute’s mentality.  ..................Hopefully, future historians will report that his was the last generation that ignorantly and arrogantly believed they could stop climate change and sanity finally prevailed, but I won’t wait for the tide to come in."
