The billionaire philanthropist added: “Americans will honour and fulfil the Paris agreement by leading from the bottom up — and there isn’t anything Washington can do to stop us.”…
Also on Thursday, The New York Times cited a letter from Mr Bloomberg to UN Secretary-General António Guterres in which the businessman said other elements of US government and society should take the lead on climate change where Mr Trump had failed to do so.
Mr Bloomberg is a UN special envoy for local leaders, tasked with meeting the Paris climate targets…
My translation: “Since I’m an actual self-made NYC billionaire, Donny, we both know how much your bigly Rich Guy bafflegab is just fronting for the flyover rubes. Here’s my couch-cushion money, so you can pay today’s tab and stop embarrassing us in front of the rest of the world, okay?”
