US shows it has opted for dozy, doozy approach to challenge of global warming

As global warming skeptics often portray climate activists as being akin to religious fanatics, the US president's initial intention to skip the UN Climate Action Summit on Monday in favor of a religious freedom meeting was not short of symbolic irony.

That he appeared in the auditorium for the climate summit for 15 minutes was a surprise, but since he appeared to be dozing, all it did was convey how dismissive he is of the climate science evidencing we need to act now to curb rising global temperatures.

Not to mention that he showed no hesitation in taking one question after another on Iran after arriving in the meeting room, turning the multilateral climate discussions into a solo performance justifying his policy toward Teheran.
