To the editor:
A massive snowstorm hit the Midwest over the weekend, followed by the coldest weather in decades. While in England residents are facing a winter reminiscent of the Little Ice Age. And, in Paris they had to close the airport because of heavy snow and cold weather.
All of this was happening while the UN Global Warming Group (I’m sorry, it is now called Climate Change) and environmentalists around the world thought they would be basking in an example of global warmth — Cancun, Mexico. Unfortunately, an uninvited guest, Mother Nature, sent them a message that she, not they, was in charge of weather on earth. She blew a cold wind that plunged Cancun temperature to 54 degrees, a 100-year low. Not to be dissuaded those in attendance said that this was proof that the world is headed for disaster because of man made Co2 gas emissions.
Like a bunch of vultures looking for their next meal, the environmentalists dismiss the roller coaster nature of historic climate change while seeking a redistribution of wealth to those countries that have lacked the initiative to build their own economies. They dismiss that in just the past 100 years Earth has entered four periods of warmth and cooling. And, if it hadn’t been for some global warming we would still be living in igloos on a sheet of ice.

It’s called “climate looting” and is only barely less of a crime than the stealing of valuable belongings from bomb- or quake-destroyed buildings
