The top United Nations climate change official continues to wait for a response to her request to meet with U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson over whether the U.S. will remain in the landmark Paris environmental accord.
Patricia Espinosa, executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, asked for a sitdown with Tillerson before leaving for a visit to the U.S. this week. In an interview Wednesday, she said she’d heard nothing from the State Department in return.
“I have not heard back. It is understandable at the beginning of an administration,’’ Espinosa said after speaking at a climate change conference in Chicago “They are a very important partner to us, and I’m looking forward to working together.’’
A State Department spokesman didn’t respond to a request for comment.
…
“It is unfortunate that Secretary Tillerson was unwilling to meet with Executive Secretary Espinosa,” Alden Meyer, director of policy at the Union of Concerned Scientists, said in an emailed statement Thursday. “Climate change represents a clear and present danger to the prosperity, security and quality of life of all Americans, and threatens the development prospects and stability of other countries.

Oh the horror – UN climate bureaucrats taking a back seat to issues like international terrorism, badly designed job destroying trade agreements, dangerous global flash points, rogue states attempting to arm themselves with nuclear weapons…
I can just imagine hearing her…cry like a baby!
The only good thing about the donald administration is that it isn’t a hilary administration.

“Climate change represents a clear and present benefit to the prosperity, security and quality of life of all Americans”
What if it were benefit instead of danger. Would there be a decent amount of evidence for this? Could we form a science cabal and declare the debate closed?
“Climate change represents a clear and present danger…………………”
He missed out an important word. What he should have said:
“Climate change alarmism represents a clear and present danger…………….”
Fake news, fake science, fake education for the last 40 years. It will be a battle.
Probably looking for a donation. I don’t return those calls either.
Thank you for your call Ms Espinosa, you will be pleased to note that in the interests of lowering the CO2 count, all UN buildings, facilities and properties housing UN personel in the United States will henceforth be power wholly and solely by renewable energy. Good luck with that.
Nope stick it Leonardo flies someone 7000 miles to do his eyebrows not worried about climate change
