SPARE US, LORD, OF THIS HOOTENANNY OF INSUFFERABLE ELITISTS: That’s the plea of today’s Issues & Insights (I&I) analysis of the 25th annual United Nations Conference of the Parties on the environment.

Notes I&I: “How long have we been hearing this? Prince Charles has been predicting imminent doomsday for more than a decade, as has Al Gore. Before the conference began, Vice was trying to convince the world that “The Collapse of Civilization May Have Already Begun,” while Extinction Rebellion has been barking madly that “billions will die” and “life on Earth is dying” because of man’s use of fossil fuels.”

And that’s just a taste of the inanity, arrogance and lunacy in I&I’s well-aimed sights.
