Climate Change Dooms NATO: Today's News for June 1st

The headline above is overplayed for effect, but is comparable to the MSM's reaction to this story:

Associated Press:

TRUMP TO ANNOUNCE DECISION ON PARIS CLIMATE PACT THURSDAY

President Donald Trump will announce his decision on whether to pull the United States out of the Paris climate accord during a Rose Garden event Thursday afternoon.

Trump promoted his announcement Wednesday night on Twitter, after a day in which U.S. allies around the world sounded alarms about the likely consequences of a U.S. withdrawal. Trump himself kept everyone in suspense, saying he was still listening to "a lot of people both ways."

The White House signaled that Trump was likely to decide on exiting the global pact - fulfilling one of his principal campaign pledges - though top aides were divided. And the final decision may not be entirely clear-cut: Aides were still deliberating on "caveats in the language," one official said.

Barring panic in the streets and a stock market crash, Trump will end America's involvement with the Paris climate accord.

It is a sad day when Donald Trump is the only adult in the room willing to point out the emperor has no clothes. Or in this case, that the climate isn't controlled by mankind. This is TRUTH.

But even if mankind controlled the climate, try getting the emerging market nations, especially China, in line with a climate accord WITHOUT throwing billions of dollars at them. It cannot be done.

Needless to say, reality hasn't stopped the Left from going full Chicken Little on this story:

CNN:

Trump and Europe don't mix, and that will have lasting consequences

America First" is what Donald Trump promised, and it's what he's delivering, with his expected withdrawal from the Paris climate accord and his upbraiding of fellow NATO leaders in Europe last week.

A possible rejection of the global consensus on fighting climate change and Trump's view of NATO and transatlantic trade as transactional agreements that add up to a bad deal for US taxpayers, rather than guarantees of US power and global influence, will win the President kudos from his political supporters.

But the headlines in Europe following his trip -- "Boor in Chief" among them -- and first reactions to reports he may walk out of the Paris pact are the signs of a backlash against Trump's global role that are likely to have longstanding consequences, not just for America's image abroad, but for his own foreign policy aspirations. 

The problem here is the basic assumption that the international status quo is just fine. America shoulders far too much of the world's policing burden, while Europe enjoys far too much of its own welfare state. If the TRUTH offends Europe, so be it.

As the article points out, many diplomats in Europe are unhappy with Trump. This is overdue. Maybe now Europe will take responsibility for itself? If it does, we can sing Trump's praises later.

Meanwhile, on the Right...

Fox News:

Clinton calls out Russia for election loss

Hillary Clinton came out swinging Wednesday, ripping Russia for her November loss to President Trump and accusing the White House of colluding with Moscow in weaponizing technology to bring her campaign down.

Clinton linked Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections to Trump and said she hoped investigators would be able to unmask a plot to interfere in the U.S. elections.

"I take responsibility for every decision I made, but that's not why I lost,” she said at the annual Code Conference in California. “Anti-American forces are going after our economy and they are going after our unity as a nation."

This must be said to Hillary:

Seriously, it is interesting how the Right is covering this and not CNN. If Hillary's account is accurate, why would Fox be eager to lede with it? Why isn't CNN covering it?

Napoleon said it best:

"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Everyone who is not deluded by Leftist ideology or Democratic Party loyalty knows the Russia story is weak. On top of that, Hillary sounds like she is deflecting criticism from herself for the bad decisions she made.

Basically, Fox is not only refusing to interrupt Hillary, it is magnifying her mistake by promoting it.

It should be noted that Fox did report on Trump's decision to pull out of the Paris climate accord. It just wasn't the lede today.
