I hope someone got Al Gore out of the Eiffel Tower.
The
famous climate-change blowhard was scheduled to host a 24-hour marathon
broadcast in support of the upcoming COP 21 Paris Climate Change Summit yesterday,
utilizing the base of the famous landmark as a broadcast studio. The event and
its webcast were suspended in light of the terrorist attacks ravaging the city.
Elton John, Duran-Duran and others were scheduled to perform.
The
webcast was titled, “24 Hours of Reality
and Live Earth.” You can’t make it up. The “Reality” is that scores of
people are “Dead,” and not from
climate change.
But, I
guess the climate did change, Al.
Unless you plan to blame the heinous terrorist attacks on global warming, this
kind of puts things in perspective, doesn’t it?
The question
is, are we going to put our time and effort into fighting a non-existent
problem or an immediate, existential threat? Are we going to worry about what
could happen if the ocean levels are 3” higher in the 22nd-century,
or about preventing the present-day slaughter of untold thousands of people,
friends and family among them?
