Welcome to the incredible shrinking, sinking America! (When is the last time Atlantis has had any say in world affairs?) A country that has deliberately jettisoned its life rafts, its booster rockets and taken on ballast - stone ignorant of the consequences. No need to study math, the sciences - even language. These all are fluff, hot air - the white man's irrelevancy; his dreaded carbon footprint; his arrogantly destructive stance.
No, John, we've entered a new era, erstwhile known as The Dark Ages; people huddling together in caves and monasteries (complete with ivory towers from which to watch sunsets) built for the sole purpose of renouncing worldly ambition and appeasing Kali (Gaia), the earth goddess and nurture the spark of vintage automobiles.
World leaders must have had some sense of this as they confer with POTUS, leader of the (once) free world. (Not the princes of the Middle East, of course, who live in their own separate time zones.) They are now left with having to formulate their own strategies to steer clear of the looming disaster; the crashing red, white and blue balloon that now threatens to suck all the air out of everything, under the umbrella of 'climate change' (which is really just another phrase for self-loathing).
The Russians know they’ve been given the opportunity to lead the (new) exodus. They’re frightened by it. They still have the acrid taste of failure in their throats. The Chinese too know that these are pivotal times. They too are frightened. Will they be able to avoid the missteps of Mao? - All children, both grieving for -and hating a parent who is in the process of committing suicide.
