Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, the 29th(!) climate change conference in Baku ended with charges of “betrayal,” “despair” and “disappointment.”

Why the glum faces? Because the shakedown artists from the forever “developing countries” wanted $1 trillion a year in bribe payments, and the rich countries “only” pledged $300 billion.

The climate change zealots are about to be hit with a cold shower reality. When Trump takes charge in a few weeks, the U.S. is unlikely to fork over a single penny to these con artists.
