40 percent, Gang Green, Paris, climate change Obamiacs

Here's a few "ripped from the wire" thoughts about today's AP story.

In case you missed it, per the World Meteorological Organization, the target temperature of the Paris Accords' nonenforceable 1.5 C, has a 40 percent chance of arriving in the next five years. Yes, nonenforcable. It's why I long ago said the Paris Accords were Jell-O

 Sadly, per the AP piece at the first link, Michael Mann (along with many of his "climate MSM" fellow travelers) appears to be, not a climate change minimalist, but a climate change "moderate." He, Katharine Hayhoe and others of their ilk are like GangGreen environmental groups. Hayhoe and some others have been political noobs before, including doubling down on attacking those who pointed this out. Like me. Per that link, we could perhaps call them "climate change Obamiacs," who think that singing Kumbaya enough will fix this. It's people like them that lead me to continue to wonder if the James Kunstlers aren't right after all.

And, while it's nice that a climate-concerned hedge fund has now gotten its candidates on eXXXon's board of directors, remember that the bottom line is the capitalist bottom line for these companies. Engine No. 1 even admits this. Remember, per Einstein, expecting more of the capitalism that got us into this situation to fix it is insanity. And, remember that this is the approach of Gang Green environmentalists and climate change Obamiacs.
