Josh writes: Breibart reports on an extraordinary Huffington Post article arguing that the response to the terrorism in Paris should be “a successful Climate Change Conference”. Gosh.
Appeasement and denial are old companions of the American public. We tend to have to be drawn screaming and kicking to any confrontation, Not on the whole a bad this but quite frustrating for thus of us who see the writing on the wall.

Appeasement and denial are not old companions of the American public.
Americans knew what was going on in both world wars and wanted to stay out of foreign conflicts.
People in Europe and elsewhere have been killing one another for centuries over one thing or another.
The U.S. can’t solve all the worlds’ problems.
Barbara I will agree with your fourth point
As too the other three well, they compliment my point.
We did not get to stay out of those wars now did we? Germany declared war on the U.S. two days after Pearl Harbor.
And yes the Zimmerman telegram may have been faked by the Brits.
michael
And oh yes your second and third points, mirror the appeasement views of the time.

It’s child’s play to destroy Bernie Sander’s claims about climate change – they haven’y been the cause of “bad weather” and “Bad weather has never caused normal folks to become religious lunatics out to kill
as many as possible. Climate change, if anything, has prodcued the food that enables more folks to inhabit this planet. As for the primetime stupidity of the Huff Post article, why do these people seem to assume that oil has much of anything to do with climate change programs, which are pushing renewable energy,
which means electrical power, which has nothing to do with oil, since oil is virtually never used to produce electrical power. Reminds me of Sen Max Bauer, who inaugurated a windfarm with the comment that “This will send a message to the oil producers.” The only message it would have sent was that Max Bauer was a complete idiot (and Max was on the Senate Energy commitee!!!)
There are two places that produce oil-fired electricity:
First, Saudi Arabia is the primary oil-fired electrical generator on the planet.
Second, diesel generators, typically used only in emergencies, are seeing a resurgence in popularity in Europe due to the overuse of wind and solar power and shutdown of reliable fossil fuel generators.
Finally, all of those wind and solar generators are powered by the diesel trucks used to build, move, operate, and maintain them
So we can see a solid argument that “renewable” fuels drive up the demand for oil.
Offshore wind farms are being built in ever deeper, harsher waters. Diesel generators are used to provide power when these are without grid connection – but access for refuelling in this challenging environment is increasingly uncertain. Turbines without power are not an option. Turbine warranties are invalidated, with major implications for insurance and financing.
Excellent Josh!
You add bright spots to our days!

The climate terrorist conference will proceed as planned. The only difference will be heightened security for the state and non-gov-org heads.

{italics mine – John Whitman}
Breitbart ‘s Oliver Lane reported on 16 Nov 2015,
“”The French edition of the Huffington Post’s response to Friday’s massacre in Paris was that there were “several undeniable links between these barbaric and fascist acts by radical Islamists and the climate”.””
An implication is created IF a person has profound faith in the pre-science premise that there must be an undeniably dangerous link between: 1) the observed insignificant GASTA/LLTA changes; and 2) the observed significant rapid increases in emission rates of CO2 from burning fossil fuels.
The created implication is THEN that same person can also see undeniably dangerous links between any two phenomena anywhere at any time whether or not either one or both of the two phenomena is real or just imagined.
So, of course critical thinkers (aka skeptics) should not be surprised that the CAGW hypothesis advocating publication called the ‘French Edition of the Huffington Post’ should claim the existence of “several undeniable links between these barbaric and fascist acts by radical Islamists and the climate”.” N’est ce pas?
John
It could end up being a coalition rather than a battle – both sides want to put an end to civilization, democracy and capitalism. My money would be on the eclipse of CAGW and its policies by 2040 by the burgeoning population of the inexorable new constituency in Europe – it was silly of the terrorists to commit terrorist acts when patience will do just fine. The Clime Syndicate will get their demolition of civilization, only they won’t be among the elitists.

So may the best terrorist win?
The Cult of Calamitous Climate, about to convene in Paris, have kept the media attention by promoting terror of weather.
The ISIS butchers by claiming “It is in the Book”.aka “Silence I kill you”.
Yrt the policies pushed by the C.C.C through the UN will kill more people and ensure millions more lead lives that are brutal and short.
This Puffington Post reads like the whiney students claiming the atrocity in Paris has drawn attention away from their “very Important” protests.
The Huffington Post is a liberals paradise !!

The Puffington Host (h/t to James Taranto) is both unplugged and unhinged.
Joel:
I haven’t gotten to Taranto yet today. Now I look forward to reading him even more.
Lomborg has an article ‘Gambling the World Economy on Climate’ in the WSJ also.

I always thought Mann belong to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Let’s face it his historic reconstructions have been based on Spaghetti flying all over the place.

There are still less holes in his hat than climate models.
He applied for membership, but was rejected. They favor limp noodles, not long upright spikes.
