Guest essay by Eric Worrall
The Guardian is worried that if Donald Trump is elected as US President, he will reject demands for climate action which are supported by tyrants, war criminals and genocidal maniacs.
Donald Trump would be world’s only national leader to reject climate science
Sierra Club report finds science of climate change accepted by leaders of every country recognized by US – including Bashar al-Assad and Kim Jong-un.
Donald Trump would be the only national leader in the world to dismiss the science of climate change should he become president, putting him out of step even with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe and Kim Jong-un, the leader of North Korea.
The potential isolation of the US on climate change has been laid bare by a new Sierra Club report which found universal acceptance of climate science among the leaders of the 195 countries recognized by the US state department.
Close US allies such as Britain, Israel, Canada and France all have heads of government who have voiced their understanding that the world is warming primarily due to human activities.
Even totalitarian or undemocratic leaders accept mainstream climate science, with Assad calling for nations to “respond more effectively” to the issue and Kim supporting a tree-planting initiative to mitigate greenhouse gases. The Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe, has labelled climate change a “major global challenge”.
By contrast, Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has called global warming “bullshit” and a “hoax” that was “created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing noncompetitive”.

Who could fail to be moved by the Guardian and the Sierra Club’s effort, to gather such a list of climate action endorsements from the world’s bad guys.

Another reason to vote for Trump, besides the fact he is not Hillary Clinton.
Unfortunately, the main reason to vote for Hillary is that she is no Donald Trump.
This is where a two-party democracy has taken us. Rather than a good candidate to vote for, we have two awful candidates to vote against.
Gary Johnson, Libertarian
Trump is at least promising to do mostly the right thing on multiple issues. Hillary is promising to do the worng thing mostly, and her only redeeming virtue is that she is so dishonest that most of her promises are bogus.
Hillary is promising to….probably lie about everything
We’ve lost the ability to recognize white trash.
Your system of primaries puts the blame for, as you call it, the awful candidates to vote against, squarely on you the people. There is no one to blame but the people.
Most countries, the parties decide who you can vote for. How horrible would that be?
‘two awful candidates’? correct, but MUCH better than the alternative.
Democrats never had a choice. The garden variety living next door with their seiu yard sign, that moron didn’t get a choice.
Superdelegates make sure of that. Bernie was just pantomime. The system is rigged.
“Jeff in Calgary,
“Your system of primaries puts the blame for, as you call it, the awful candidates to vote against, squarely on you the people. There is no one to blame but the people.”
Since we all know the politicians and mass media always tell us the truth, I can hardly argue with your pin pointing of the real problem . . mere logical deduction, really ; )
@ur momisugly Jeff in Calgary
Jeff, that’s the way it was in the US for the past 40+ years …… but Donald Trump put a stop to that noise when he announced his 2016 run for POTUS.
That is why both the Democrat and Republican long-time “establishments” are highly pissed and irate about Trump winning the Primary ….. and are scared to death that he will win the General election.
For Jeff in Calgary – I’m curious. So just WHAT is wrong with the people choosing their candidate? I’ve always been of the opinion that “parties” choose what’s best for the party, not for the country and surely not for the people. Canada is a perfect example.
A choice of two is no choice at all. It’s like having to choose between a blonde and a brunette when what you really want is the girl with read hair.
sorry. red hair, obviously.
I read that and knew you meant red not read.
Germany in the early 30’s had 34 political parties. The result, with a little help extorted from von Hindenburg, was the big A.H. becoming Chancellor. The latter subsequently whittled down the number of parties to one. More choices does not automatically result in a better outcome.
Its like having to choose between Stalin and Hitler
If Hillary wins, we (the US) will probably mostly continue along the “Obama path” with Congress continuing to watch passively. On the other hand, if Trump wins there is a greater chance Congress will stand up and reign in the President.
Something worth considering, IMHO.
so what you’re saying is that Hillary will play their game…both democrat and republican…same dog, different collar….and we will have a do nothing Congress like we’ve had for the past 8 years
…and Trump won’t let them get away with it..and call them on it
I firmly believe we’ve been had…other wise why would both parties be for the candidate that’s status quo, the Clintons
…and firmly against the candidate that won’t play ball with them
You realize, both parties are against Trump…that should tell you all you need to know
Well put, Latitude.
:)….I’m voting for the one the liars, crooks, and thieves don’t want me to vote for
Please “rein in” not
“reign in”.
As in steering horses with leather straps, nought to do with Queens.
Geoff
On the other hand, Parliament did reign in the monarch.
Mr. Trump was not on my short list to be president a while back, but he is increasingly the only sane person in the room.
The sanest ticket is the Libertarian governors . Make the Dems the 3rd party .
“Are you in?”
https://youtu.be/kQv_6GXVbDw
Bill Clinton was elected twice thanks to Ross Perot. In both elections most of the voters wanted somebody else.
You want a President Hillery? Vote third party.
(We we need for all Federal elections is a runoff election election between the top two vote getters if neither has over 50% of the vote. Then a third party vote wouldn’t be a wasted vote.)
unfortunately, neither of the “libertarian” governors are in fact libertarians–too bad there isn’t a Ron Paul libertarian around now.
Gunga Din,
It seems to me you are, unfortunately, essentially correct in this;
“You want a President Hillery? Vote third party.”
(I would add; or Mr.s Sanders or Biden, should Ms. Clinton for any reason cease to be a relevant choice . . )
One of the first real jokes I can remember hearing, involved a four engine plane losing engines one at a time, and the pilot coming on the intercom after each noisome malfunction, saying not to worry, the plane was made to fly safely with less than four . . then three, then even two, though the delay in getting to the destination kept going up and up each time . .
After the third announcement, a “blond” passenger (I’m a blond, in the summer anyway ; ) turns to her fellow passenger and says; *Two more hours! This is getting ridiculous . . if that last engine goes out, we’ll be up here all day!*
Corruption is like that plane, it seems to me . . and we won’t really have an infinite number of opportunities to “overcome” what to my mind is now a one engine affair.
If some of you want Gary Johnson as president ( which would give the vote to Clinton) Why not promote him as a VP ? Just asking , I have no faith in the US election process.
asybot;
There is no vote for VP. Tags along with the P.
That’s a mighty lose definition of “sane”.
Compared to ?
I think the LP will take far more votes from the Dems than from Trump . There do exist Dem voters who are disgusted with the blatantly criminal dishonesty and the profoundly stupid anti-freedom anti-prosperity eKoStatism who need an escape and don’t mind so much if Hillary loses .
Do a search, Hillary Clinton career criminal. Draw your own conclusions?
I ain’t gonna lie – Donald Trump scares the hell out of me. But we’re getting into ‘Hail Mary’ territory on several fronts, and I could see where he could be effective.
He does, however, have a larger wall of institutional opposition set against him that has no parallel in recent memory – not just getting in elected, but aligned against him if he manages to get into office.
But what the hell – I say swing for the fence.
The institutional opposition is what makes Mr Trump attractive. The oligarchy is panicking that they may have their trough removed and that panics their hangers on in equal measure.
I’m with Ian on this one. I’ve figured I’d vote Libertarian for the first time ever since I couldn’t stand either of the choices presented. But the unending character assassination attacks being aimed at Trump are getting me to rethink that.
Agreed. All the right people seem to hate him.
Ted Nugent said this about Trump back in March (I think). I’ve come to the opinion that I pretty much agree…
Obama is against Trump
The Media is against Trump
The establishment Democrats are against Trump
The establishment Republicans are against Trump
The Pope is against Trump
The UN is against Trump
The EU is against Trump
China is against Trump
Mexico is against Trump
Soros is against Trump
Black Lives Matter is against Trump
MoveOn. Org is against Trump
Koch Bro’s are against Trump
Hateful, racist, violent Liberals are against Trump
Bonus points:
Cher says she will leave the country
Mylie Cyrus says she will leave the country
Whoopi says she will leave the country
Rosie says she will leave the country
Al Sharpton says he will leave the country
Gov. Brown says California will build a wall
Sounds like the kinda president the US needs!
PS. I tried to post this once before and I think something sent it into moderation. So, if it shows up twice, well, sorry about that.
But the unending character assassination attacks being aimed at Trump are getting me to rethink that.
…the wrong people are telling me to not vote for Trump
The Democrat establishment hates Trump. The Republican establishment hates Trump. The Media establishment hates Trump. Sounds like one heck of an endorsement to me.
That is why I have a feeling he will win. Kind of like Brexit, the polls underestimate the dissatisfaction the people have.
conservatives don’t poll…they hang up
SMC, the next time you post that list of Anti-Trump’ers …… be sure to include Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s name to the “Bonus points” list.
The Democrat establishment hates Trump. The Republican establishment hates Trump. The Media establishment hates Trump. That sounds like one heck of an endorsement to me.

and on the plus side ,
Papiertigre supports Trump.
http://www.crowsnestpolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Donald-Trump-with-eagle.jpg
You see that eagle’s wing, it was chopped off by a wind turbine.
A victim of the global warming mafia, rescued by Trump.
Yeah, it’s time to roll the dice.
More like spin the barrel and pull the trigger.
Of course tyrants and war criminals want climate action since they will not be harmed, but we will.
The tyrants and war criminals think they can make some money off the CAGW hoax.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner.
Two things the Sierra Club, et al, should consider: 1) things butchering despots say are not always true and only result in action if the action will hurt people, and 2) when there is a claim that “everyone” believes or thinks something, said claim is usually untrue.
Regardless, listen to your mother. If everyone else jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?
So the wisdom of the activists is 50 tyrants ,dictators and socialist thugs agree with us…so we must be right.
Yup the Sierra Club is onto something here.
The fantastic fabric and beautiful weave of their fabulous “whole cloth” has clouded their senses.
These dangerous parasites definitely hold the interests of humanity higher than their own enrichment and self agrandization.
This is of course reflected in the loving ways they treat the people under their control…
Of course such humanitarians are hero’s of the Sierra Club and those who fund them.
Most climate activists are jealous of the tyrants and dictators.
Perfect!…:-)
Please “heros” not “hero’s” even if your program serves it up wrong.
Seems they haven’t heard of Vaclav Klaus, or Tony Abbott
Maybe Theresa May too. Too soon to tell.
I tried to do a little homework on May’s position, and she supports “reasonable action.” Sounds like the kind of dodge that will allow here to backtrack on EU policies. And just wait to see if Le Pen grabs the reigns in France, not a dyed-in-the-wool skeptic, but she doesn’t believe that humans are the primary cause.
Mark there is a new post on this over at CliSkep. Statements going back to 2008, recent votes, and new pronouncement on energy policy all seem to be skeptical and pragmatic. Hopeful.
You place Abbott in the same category and Mugabe? Really? Clearly you have no clue what Mugabe did to Zimbabwe nor what you are talking about.
Tony Abbott is one of the few national leaders to have spoken out against CAGW. That puts him on the opposite side of the line to Robert Mugabe. Not the same side.
But this article is IMHO not useful, because no-one can control who will emerge from the woodwork to support a public position.
I read the post “DMA July 13, 2016 at 8:52 am
Seems they haven’t heard of Vaclav Klaus, or Tony Abbott”
as placing Abbott in the same category as “Tyrants and War Criminals Demand Climate Action” such as Mugabe. I have never heard of Abbott forcing people off productive farmland in favour of his bullyboy mobs who knew nothing about farming. Mugabe destroyed Zimbabwe (He would never risk going back there). I am confident the same cannot be said about Abbott and Australia.
I’m sure that both Hitler and Stalin would have supported action because it necessitates the adoption of the more fascist style socialist and communist ideals and leads to totalitarianism
I read it as the opposite. Tony Abbott was very clear on climate science,as SkepticalScience.com explains:
“As a climate denier, Tony Abbott is most famous for his statement that climate science is “absolute crap”. However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg – he actually has a long history of denying climate change science. Skeptical Science have been steadily extending our database of climate myth quotes beyond just U.S. politicians and here is what we have so far from Tony Abbott.” [Lots more very positive info on Tony Abbott].
http://tinyurl.com/bhpvxn8
Vaclav Klaus was in the same camp. “The Competitive Enterprise Institute is proud to announce a provocative new book on environmental policy, Blue Planet in Green Shackles by Václav Klaus, President of the Czech Republic. President Klaus makes the case that policies being proposed to address global warming are not justified by current science and are, in fact, a dangerous threat to freedom and prosperity around the world[..]”. https://www.amazon.com/Planet-Green-Shackles-Vaclav-Klaus/dp/B001A3W3BK
“Mike Jonas July 13, 2016 at 10:58 am
Tony Abbott was very clear on climate science,as SkepticalScience.com explains:”
Yes. His quote often and repeatedly reproduced, incorrectly, by the likes of the kids at SkS.
http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2010/s2808321.htm
TONY ABBOTT: And I think what you’ll find, if you go back to the comments, is that it was the so called settled science of climate change, that I thought was to be described in language that I wouldn’t use on a family program.
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/archive/politics/the-town-that-turned-up-the-temperature/story-e6frgczf-1225809567009
He said it was the SETTLED SCIENCE of CLIMATE CHANGE that was CRAP.
Don’t forget Milos Zeman. How do these people get away with bald faced lies?
They control the Lame-stream Media
Look out climate…..you never ever want to be noticed (much less labeled a “challenge”) by Robert Mugabe.
I’m trying to remember the name of the left wing columnist who a few years ago wrote about how he was jealous regarding the communist dictators in China and their freedom of action.
They could just decide what the right course was and take it. They didn’t have to worry about nay-sayers and critics.
That was Naomi Klein, and secondarily Christina Fiqueres.
Justin Trudeau?
I’m prety sure it was Thomas L. Friedman of the New York Times admiring the PRC
Yes sir it was Friedman
http://reason.com/blog/2009/09/09/thomas-l-friedman-china-is-bet
Yeah, Freidman was one for sure. He bemoaned the fact that we weren’t like China, where govt. could “get things done” without being impeded by that nasty little hindrance the will of the people.
It is so nice when you can beat up pregnant women until they miscarry, and no one can stop you. You can save Gaia from those evil surplus people! /sarc
It amazes me how many people seem to think that abusing the citizens of one’s country is acceptable or even desirable. How sick in the head does one need to be in order to wish such evil on his fellow man?
Oh, but the death penalty is really bad. Killing innocent people is good, but executing a murderer or rapist (using pain-free methods) is the worst thing EVAH. Leftist “logic”.
Sierra Club’s name and shame Trump gambit will work about as well as the one in the Paris Accord.
“Donald Trump would be world’s only national leader to
rejectaccept climate science“Good pick-up.
Technically we don’t who the new leader of Britain is yet.
The new leader may not be another Kool-Aid drinker.
Theresa May within the hour. She is more of a realist than David Cameron. If the lights go out next winter just watch her in action.
Is she related to James or Brian?
PiperPaul- as long as she isn’t related to Elizabeth.
May *is* a kool-aid drinker. However, Cameron has just left May a steaming pile to deal with, walked off whistling like the idiot he is. So climate change will be her least priority thanks to Brexit.
Patrick MJD –
British Prime Minister Theresa May just appointed Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary. and she appointed a separate Secretary of State for exiting the European Union – David Davis. Now that should be interesting.
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-36789972
In a statement, she is keen to implement and focus on “social justice” issues. That includes climate change.
Well, gee, have any of those heads of state ever been known to be wrong? I can think of at least one in the U.S. who, though thought by many to be infallible, has been wrong – and on more than one subject.
Some of these leaders in the so-called “developing countries” are eying a portion of the Paris $100 billion per annum from us “developed countries” so no wonder they embrace CAGW. As long as GOP can maintain control of the Senate they can replace all the “Karl types” in the US Government (starting with NOAA and GISS) and replace them with real scientists and engineers. In NOAA they could start with some of Crutz’s Karl paper whistle blowers. Once the GISS and NOAA global surface temperature records have been sanitized from homogenization then maybe our new UK PM might be inclined to deal with The MET Office and CRU. We are moving into a La Nina and this is an ideal time for some straight action starting in January next year (I hope).
How about the leaders, such as Angela Merkel, who claim to believe in CAGW while at the same time building more coal plants.
In the 1970-ties when the German “Gruenen”, the greens, were in the ascendent there was a scandal because it turned out that some of those candidates had a rather nasty war record, one of them even had been a high shot in the waffen SS.
The naive suggested that these people had seen the light and were now mending their ways, doing so by saving the world from itself. The more astute, however, realised that they had simply recognised the green movement for what it was: a totalitarian ideology in which they felt perfectly at home.
“The more astute, however, realised that they had simply recognised the green movement for what it was: a totalitarian ideology in which they felt perfectly at home.”

The Guardian is now nothing but a leftist propaganda dumpster fire that churns out doom and gloom in much the way Stephen King churns out books. File it under “entertainment,” not “news.”
File it under “entertainment,” not “news.”
That’s accurate for most ‘news’ organizations.
Speaking of churning out flat-earth, partisan propaganda – none worse than Faux News and it’s puppet master Rupert.
That would make Trump sort of a modern day Galileo. Next they’ll be demanding he get locked up for it…
The more and louder the clueless, democracy-hating climateers howl about Trump, the better he looks.
You just can’t make this stuff up:
‘Even totalitarian or undemocratic leaders accept mainstream climate science, with Assad calling for nations to “respond more effectively” to the issue and Kim supporting a tree-planting initiative to mitigate greenhouse gases. The Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe, has labelled climate change a “major global challenge”’
We friends of Syria are really getting tired of hearing this stupid term “Assad regime” and that this real and fully qualified eye doctor is a tyrant. He has been elected twice in the last four years, as his country has been under siege by terrorists illegally operating within its borders. There is an overwhelming body of forensic evidence that the whole proxy army invasion of Syria was planned long before 2011, mainly by the US, assisted by the UK, NATO and the Gulf States and this is also the case for Iraq and Libya. The George Soros-funded White Helmets, Human Rights Watch and other so called human right supporters, western governments, and their media and most of all by pseudo-leftists who bang on about how anti-imperialists and anti-war they are yet seem to have thrown their weight behind this western-sponsored coup. They lie about chemical weapons being used by the Syrian Army, when it is instead the terrorists who do these atrocities and also blame the Russians. Why these are the same people that we rail against in WUWT and indeed at one stage they said the war on Syria was brought on by climate change. What terrible propaganda.
All of the above mentioned are hell bent on the idea that what they refer to as the “Assad regime”, is this evil totalitarian oppressive dictatorship in which Assad is this big bad monster who has killed hundreds of thousands of people, drops barrel bombs on civilians, uses chemical weapons, starves people, tortures people and imprisons people and so are adamant that he has to go. We friends of Syria, Professor Tim Anderson of Sydney University, journalists like Eva Bartlet and Vanessa Beeley, have proven this constantly over the last 5 years, to the extent that the BBC has lied about the war, just as it lied about global warming.
When in reality, what the BBC, the ABC here in Australia, the MSNM are referring to is the legitimate government of Syria, which is the ruling Ba’ath party headed by president Bashar al-Assad, elected by the people and has the full support of the majority of Syrian people. This support is with the aim to defeat the hordes of western and gulf sponsored Wahhabi terrorists and other foreign mercenaries, who have been wreaking havoc in Syria for the last five years – ISIS, al-Qaeda, al-Nusra Front and others Syrians also hope that they will rebuild Syria. After so much damage has been inflicted with large swaths of infrastructure, towns, cities, historical and religious sites been damaged or destroyed as a result of the war brought on by the so-called Syrian opposition.
As most Syrians believe that the only way for the war to end, for all terrorists to be defeated and for Syria to return to being a stable independent nation is for Bashar al-Assad to remain in power.
excellent–just another part in the plan to eliminate Shia secular (tolerant) governments that somehow threaten our good friends in SaudiArabia.
Bashar? Is that you?

Other noted Warmunists are: Ted Kaczynski, Osama bin Laden, Charles Manson, Fidel Castro, and James J. Lee.
Says a lot about the Warmunist credo.
I had no idea Charles Manson was alarmed by CO2. Now we know what scares mass murderers.
“Donald Trump would be world’s only national leader to reject climate science.”
He may well be the world’s only national leader. Here in Australia we’re moving toward the trans-national model, like nearly everybody is doing. (Maybe we can get a cute PM like Trudeau!)
Soon we’ll just get the unions to nominate a Labor PM (restricting field to male union organisers, female teachers and any-gender lawyers, all of whom must be Marxists firmly committed to joining the Goldman Sachs board post politics) and Goldman Sachs to nominate a Liberal PM (restricting field to Goldman Sachs staff, past, present or guaranteed future).
Oh, and our Governor-General G-G to be someone trans (that word again!) who looks fab in military uniform. (Goldman Sachs background preferred.)
Of course, if trannie-nationalism should have a giant fail due to Italian debt or the Turco-German Empire going to war with the Russian one…we can just blame Trump!
Yes, Trump isn’t Mrs. Clinton and he doesn’t think CO2 is a problem. He seems to know how to get things done, and it looks like he doesn’t reject capitalism. I think he would be loyal to American interests. Other than that I haven’t a clue why any one would ever consider voting for him.
Sarcasm noted, but there is a lot to not like about Trump, such as his penchant for foot-in-mouth disease. Still, that’s our only choice.
such as his penchant for foot-in-mouth disease.,,,as told by the liberal media
Anytime anyone speaks out and stands up to them…they frame it as a mistake.
Using their own rule…Obama said something different every time he was in front of a different audience…no matter what you believed you would hear him say it….and he’s the world’s greatest orator
He appears to be eager to ignite a new trade war with just about everybody.
..and it’s about time
“such as his penchant for foot-in-mouth disease.,,,as told by the liberal media”
No. As anyone with brains can see. He shoots his mouth off first, then maybe thinks later. Maybe. I will still vote for him though.
and it looks like he doesn’t reject capitalism
The rest are trying their best to move us to socialism….
..and deny that they need capitalism to support their socialism
It’s all about control.
Yes, even in Israel this BS has plagued the agenda.
We have a huge 2 bn. Dollars solar plant being built when it is already clear it will be a colossal waste of tax payer’s money.
I do hope somebody pulls the breaks before it is too late.
At least you have almost 3,000hrs of insolation there, not like here in Ontario Canada, where we have mere 1,200hrs of sun each year…
Sorry it is approximately 2,500 insolation hours per year. Still 2x more that here in Ontario and 3x more that in Germany.
Please, “brakes” not “breaks”.
” …. the world is warming ….. ”
Data to prove this please.
In January, there was snow on the ground. Now, not so much.
in the early 1700’s the Thames River would freeze over, now not so much. Oh It does freeze from time to time but not so thick as then.
Since the nadir of temps during the LIA it has Definitely Warmed.
Considering though that the British Isles span from 50N to 60N it is a naturally colder climate
Bryan A
Here is food for thought. Climate is NOT global, it is local.
Hudson Bay is still roughly 50% ice covered today. The southern edge of the ice is about 2.5 degrees SOUTH of Fort McMurray where we have had unseasonably hot and an immense wild fire (allegedly human caused) that most of the world heard about requiring the evacuation of the whole town of 80,000 plus.
If the British Isles were in Hudson Bay, they would be nearly half covered by ice at the moment.
Scroll down this link to Canadian Ice map:
https://polarbearscience.com/2016/07/11/tracking-polar-bears-in-the-beaufort-sea-all-bears-on-the-ice-in-june/
Not a fair comparison due to the difference between sea ice and land but still food for thought.
Makes me wonder what the thousand “guests” on the Crystal Serenity Cruise through the Arctic this August/September escorted by a British Ice Breaker would think if they knew they were crapping on the Arctic:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/17/british-research-ship-in-northwest-passage-cruise-voyage-row/
Totally amazing.
I have it hard to think and believe that this really is about Trump……..he is not even a President yet,
But these dictators are already there and fully functioning.
I think this is more about a way to introduce these new cheerleaders and new shiny and sparkly celebrities in total support of the AGW “crusade”
Lew and company may consider this as a very effective psychological trick assisting and supporting the “crusade”.
But actually is only an action that shows the psychological problems that the “crusade” leaders are suffering due to exasperation and desperation under the circumstances.
These dictators would have been there ready and steady at any moment in past to support the “crusade” if allowed, simply due to their basic need of having a chance to sustain their regimes by been offered to dip their fingers in the AGW gravy,,,,,,, but you see the exasperation and desperation was not yet thick enough to contemplate such as situation.
Now that has being contemplated!
Now the AGWers are going to build an image of a global alliance supporting their “crusade” where the dictators are no villains anymore but the main cheerleaders and the most shiny celebrity “jewels” of the AGW movement.
Regardless if that actually means a direct support offered to these dictators and their regimes in exchange for their support to the AGW “crusade”.
In these terms AGW actually is a crusade, a modern time crusade……..
I for once will not be surprised at all if this keeps getting to grow and take a full form,,,,,,,very expectable under the conditions.
My “bet” is that North Korea will get to be the number one and the most shiny “jewel” in the “crown” of such an alliance…..
Sorry to all those who may find this disturbing…………..
cheers
