Apologies versus Statesmanship
In this article, SoS Clinton apologizes for the harm the USA has done to the planet.
“We acknowledge now with President Obama that we have made mistakes in the United States, and we along with other developed countries have contributed most significantly to the problem that we face with climate change,”
The phrase change from “global warming” (which can’t be proven) to “climate change” (which the world has experienced since its inception) is significant. ***
Why this administration feels it needs to apologize for America at every turn makes me angry.
Climate Change in particular has become the single most costly urban legend in the 20th Century and has laid the path to he destruction of the US Economy while people wring their hands.
According to the United States Weather Bureau:
– This June is tied for the 8th coolest on record. The average temperature was 67.5. (That’s) 3.7 degrees below normal…which also occurred in 1897.
– This was the coolest June since 1958…when the average temperature as 67.2 degrees.
The threat to the global economy today is created by hysteria on one level or another. Where is the Statesmanship? In other breaking news, the “lion of the Senate” Teddy Kennedy, visited Mary Jo Kopechne’s grave for the first time recently…
I just had a conversation with some of my Republican friends noting that the world changed so much with MLK and RFK’s assasinations. The conversation consensus was that RFK was the smartest of the Kennedys’ and the one most likely to become and important leader in the world. I was 14 and at the Iowa Republican Convention, the day he was shot.
Where is the next Statesman?
