Cancun climate kooks and how a Hollyweirdo defines “victory”

Poor DiCaprio needs assistance: Leo Needs A Dictionary for Festivus.

While Cancun was a failure (to the ecotards) in the sense there’s no binding resolution, its “success” lies in the plan for continuing the taxpayer-funded junkets to exotic locations.

Still, it’s got to be getting more difficult to push the end-of-the-world scenarios:

Similar end-times prophecies were made at the previous 14 climate parties, too.

All of which violates Apocalyptic Prophecy Rule No 1: If you say the world is going to end, it’s best to pick a deadline far enough into the future that you’ll never be held accountable if your prediction is wrong.

Saying end times are just a year or two away just doesn’t make sense for a permanent bureaucracy…

They’ve got a bad case of “Apocalypse Later”:

I later learned that all through history, seers and soothsayers had been predicting the end of the world.

Those prophets were always the butt of jokes — until the mid-twentieth century. That’s when doomsday-ers ingeniously repackaged their predictions as “science” instead of “religion.”

Best line: Never mind lads; same time tomorrow…
