To the Editor:

Speaking at the U.N. Climate Change Summit last month, our esteemed president made the following statement. Climate change is an issue “that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other.” Being a flat-earther, I don’t really understand exactly what that means but I do know this. If he said it, I don’t believe it.  Since they were not represented at the summit, apparently Russia, India and Canada don’t care what he meant. They have learned these meetings are useless and the UN is toothless.

While we continue to wait for the catastrophes promised to have occurred by now, perhaps Mr. President might consider other issues that might define the contours of this century. Like radical Islam. Like uncontrolled deadly viruses. Like the economic armageddon staring us in the face. Like the fact that his own Secret Service can’t keep evildoers out of the corridors of his home.  

When he convinces Russia, China, India and all the other counties that are busy growing their economies to take climate change seriously, that will be when hell freezes over.
