With the announcement that the Pope may “intervene” in the Paris climate negotiations, the last act of the Great Paris Climate Conference is set.
As I wrote in 2010, these giant climate conferences follow an entirely predictable story arc that goes like this:
1) The media will downplay expectations, and diplomats and environmentalists will bemoan how far behind the process is in producing an agreement.
In the lead-up to the Paris climate summit, massive activist pressure is on all governments, especially Canada’s, to fall in line with the global warming agenda and accept emission targets that could seriously harm our economy.
On May 28th, a new Hollywood blockbuster is poised to unleash a perfect storm of propagandistic gyrations. Like The China Syndrome and Waterworld, The Day After Tomorrow is an apocalyptic tale of environmental self-destruction. This time though, its not a nuclear reactor or melting ice caps, its a sudden ice age -- and we mean like a few days worth of sudden -- caused by human greenhouse gas emissions that trigger the shutdown of a major oceanic current that distributes heat around the globe.
This has been a very bad year for climate alarmists. On the threshold of worldwide enactment of the Kyoto Protocol, the Russians are saying nyet, and scientists around the world are busy ripping the rug out from under alarmist climate predictions.
