Former UN Climate Chief Is An Idiot!

The headline of this report on Common Dreams says it all: "Former UN Climate Chief Admits She Was Wrong That Fossil Fuel Industry Could Be an Ally ."

How stupid is this woman? Big Oil is demonstrably just as untrustworthy as Big Tobacco, but this woman, Christiana Figueres, thought that these companies could be an ally in the fight against climate change.

This level of stupidity and gullibility should disqualify someone from holding a position such as United Nations climate chief.

Time for the UN to overhaul their hiring practice.
