All of a sudden, perhaps “climate change” is not the deadliest challenge facing the West, helas. But that won’t stop charlatans like Al Gore from pressing onward to Save the Planet:

France plans to go ahead with a global climate change summit in Paris at the end of the month, the prime minister said on Saturday, despite a wave of deadly attacks on Friday night that killed 127 people in the capital. The conference “will be held because it’s an essential meeting for humanity,” Prime Minister Manuel Valls told TF1 television on Saturday evening. He said the summit would also be an opportunity for world leaders to show their solidarity with France after the attacks. About 118 world leaders are expected to attend the opening day of the Nov. 30-Dec. 11 conference, which is due to nail down a global deal to limit rising greenhouse gas emissions. In Washington, officials confirmed that both U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry still planned to attend.

Is there a bigger bunch of deluded fools than the “warming” crew, whose theories don’t even pass the most basic tests of logic? Noses pressed up against the glass of a small sample of earth’s climatological history, they believe they alone can affect Mother Nature — at our expense, of course.

Organizers of a march to press for climate action planned for Paris on Nov. 29, the eve of the summit, said they would meet on Monday “to discuss ways forward”, said Alice Jay, director of the citizens’ campaign group Avaaz and one of the organizers. Organizers have been hoping to imitate a “People’s Climate March” in New York last year that attracted hundreds of thousands of people, the largest protest against global warming in history.

Yes, you read that right. I’m sure “global warming” is now suitably chastened.
