It has taken a full decade, but the mainstream press is finally catching up to what we at Watts Up With That (WUWT) have been saying since the day the Paris Agreement was signed: it was built on sand, unenforceable, and destined to crumble under the weight of its own political posturing. Now, in a remarkable piece of candor, the New York Times admits what has long been obvious to anyone outside the climate activist bubble: the age of Paris is over, and the world has lost its appetite for climate politics.
