The New York billionaire immediately called on Donald Trump to revise his views on climate change and show he was a “great leader”
By Karl Mathiesen
Former New York mayor and businessman Michael Bloomberg was appointed climate envoy by UN chief António Guterres on Monday.
Immediately, parallels were drawn with another New York billionaire, Donald Trump, whose determination to wind back US action on climate change Bloomberg has strongly opposed.
On Monday, Bloomberg said he hoped Trump would change his mind.
“And if that’s the case, that shows a great leader who when facts change, and they recognise something different, they’re not bound to what they did before, they’re willing to change,” he said.

The UN must be getting frustrated at the failure of all these heavy hitters to advance their climate agenda. If Bloomberg also fails, one can only imagine who the next UN Climate Envoy will be.

I wonder if he bought this position.
Apparently there aren’t many great leaders on the alarmist side of the debate.
Oh, I dunno; Mann, Gore, and crew are legends in their own minds. That has to count for something.
You refer to the UN’s “climate agenda” — wouldn’t UN’s “political climate agenda” be better?
Let’s hope Bloomberg’s fuel grabbing efforts are as successful as his gun grabbing activities have been.
What do you call a row of three idiots?
A “climate concensus”?.
+1
“And if that’s the case, that shows a great leader who when facts change, and they recognise something different, they’re not bound to what they did before, they’re willing to change,” he said.
So are they going to change the facts, oh yeah sorry they do it all the time.
So they are not really facts are they.
So Donald has no reason to change his mind then, thanks for clearing that up.

As they say , a done deal.
Were there no scientists that the UN could recruit?
Perhaps no one with any self respect could stand and discuss, with a straight face , the science of climate change with 2 actors, one bloated with money and self importance and the other so desperate for a job he (she ) has to prance around in a silly costume.
Did Bloomberg ever send in the money?
It’s All About Money. ‘Boomboom’ bought his way into a U.N. Climate Ambissador before the Paris Accord shindig. So his Bloomberg Foundation must be funneling money to the U.N. Green Climate Fund! A-Ha A UNFCCC-IPCC shindig is ongoing this week. Mikey Boomboom must have footed the bill for the booze!
“Cities and Climate Change” they call it this time! O-Canada. The Trudeau Train pulls into Edmonton.
Ha ha
The UN proudly chooses three absurd ‘Climate Envoys’, illustrating the UN’s increasing irrelevance and adding justification for further withdrawal of US supporting funds.
We don’t have to support this socialist Theater of the Absurd.
It’s also a global marketing agenda to advance. So it should offer a frequent flyer rewards program to go with the jetsetters.
Is Bloomberg going to provide some evidence that CAGW is real? If not, then he is not going to have any more success that all those who went before him.
In order to convince people, you first need some evidence. Bogus, bastardized surface temperature charts are not evidence, and the Alarmists have nothing else to hang their hat on, so Bloomberg better come up with something new, or he is wasting his time.
Be prepared for another first when they award a Nobel Prize to a cartoon character. That applies to any of the clowns in the grouped image.
Actually, I’m all for choosing people who so obviously despise and revile global warming theory and have no interest in saving the planet as spokesmen for saving the planet. It’s a serious rational, well-thought out business decision. We should be cheering. A sincere spokesman could actually sell the idea and who wants that?
Leaders, true leaders, generally take people where they don’t think they want to go and have a vision that turns out correct. Trump is trying to lead the US out of the descent into Socialist poverty and despotism that the Greens and their neo-Marxist handlers are trying to bring.
As an exercise: Try and name any great leader of history who simply led the crowd (his/her people) where they were all thought they wanted to go. The Great Leaders never took the easy path.
In recorded history, starting with Moses, he led his people into the Sinai desert on a journey that still inspires for how it developed the identity of the Jewish people. And forward from there.
The Roman Empire was built by a few good leaders. Rome accumulated wealth (of course via a harsh, brutish colonial imperialism on the ruled outlying areas).
Then Rome had a lot of crappy Caesars that were not leaders. They merely gave the mobs and the masses what they wanted to hold onto power. That is not leadership. That is what today’s Democrats and Socialists want for the US and the Western World. Bloomberg is of that mould. It is the same non-leadership model that Chavez and now Maduro have used in Venezuela. A slow, descending depletion of wealth to retain power.
If Trump really wants to show he is a great leader he should see that climate science faces his idea of an antagonistic opponent determined to trash every single line of attack the climate lobby uses. This opponent should be as unequally funded in favour of destroying climate science as the pro lobby has been for propping it up for the last ten years.
Nice group photo, they are equally qualified for the job.
The irony of the UN choosing a envoy named “RED” is not lost on me.
Bloomberg- another billionaire using “climate” as a tool to oppress poor people and get even richer. No wonder he feels comfortable joining a non-existent bird and a guy who makes a living fooling people and play acting.
Ha ha ha,
what a brilliant idea, appoint hyper rich people with a high CO2 emitting lifestyles to look down on us scold us over much smaller CO2 emitting lifestyles.
The U. N. is a joke.
“Michael Bloomberg joins Leonardo DiCaprio and the Angry Birds character “Red” as a UN appointed climate envoy.”
How appropriate………all three cartoon characters. With apologies to “Red”, the only genuine cartoon in the trio.
Maybe Jennifer Lawrence could be next right after she fixes democracy in America. She only has a year, could be tight but I am sure she could totally fix the whole climate kebob also. She does bring a different talent set to the table.

I would’ve chosen a different bird for the photo…

People have commented that DiCaprico looks a bit like Mann.
I think Bloomberg looks a bit Putin.
I wonder. Is that an envoy to the planet Mars, Jupiter, or Zog? Mars is the “red planet”, and Jupiter has a great red spot, but Zog seems rather more appropriate to the general politics and thinking of global-warmers.
If I remember correctly, when Bloomberg was mayor of New York he banned 64 oz sugary drinks.
Yet, in at least some of his companies, sugary drinks for employees were free. All they had to do was refill their cups.
And also, to combat violent crime in NYC he didn’t have the cops get tough on criminals. He spent NYC taxpayer dollars to gun shows in other states to try and buy guns.
Guess he was trying to blame his crime problem on out of state inanimate objects rather than his own inane policies.
