There are certain clarifying moments in political discourse, moments that demonstrate just where the

various parties stand. Never has the gap been so obvious as this last week. On Friday, the left declared

the world was in imminent peril. The problem? President Trump pulled out of the altogether

meaningless Paris Climate Accord, a worldwide agreement requesting non-binding commitments from

signatories about future carbon emissions cuts. The hysteria was palpable. Suddenly, debunked weather prognosticator Al Gore, found himself in prime television slots jabbering about the end of the world. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, she gabbled about how Trump was dishonoring God. No word on her abortion on demand position from the Holy One, Blessed Be He. The Huffington Post ran a headline showing the world in flames.

The Mayor of London, Sidic Khan, released a statement, bemoaning Trump's decision. Meanwhile,

the right shrugged. It pointed out the agreement didn't really do much anyway. It didn't

bind China and India to any serious commitments. The Senate had not passed any enabling legislation.

Perhaps non-governmental alternatives should be considered before diving headlong into empowerment of the

regulatory state to fight a rising temperature over the next century. On Saturday, a group of Islamic

terrorists drove a van into a crowd on London Bridge and then jumped out of the vehicle and started

stabbing people in surrounding establishments. ISIS claimed responsibility. The right immediately

labeled the attacks he yet another example of Islamic

extremism on the march, linking them with a Manchester terror attack. President Trump took to Twitter

to denounce the terror attacks and call for an end to politically correct policies, as well as

to stump for his travel ban. Conservatives on both sides of the Atlantic complains about

leftist multiculturalism creating room for Islamic terror growth.

Meanwhile, the left shrugged.

Sally Cohn tweeted about the glories of political correctness.

Paul Krugman compared being killed in a terrorist attack, being killed by a drunk driver.

Democrats complained about President Trump's attacks on Khan,

who was busy urging Londoners to stay calm after panicking about global warming just a few days ago.
