F Finally, thankfully, the global warming craze is dying out. To paraphrase Monty Python, the climate parrot may still be nailed to its perch at the recent COP summit in Belm, Brazil " or at Harvard and on CNN " but elsewhere it's dead. It's gone to meet its maker, kicked the bucket, shuffled off this mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. By failing to pledge a cut in fossil fuels, COP achieved less than nothing, the venue caught fire, the air-conditioning malfunctioned " and delegates were told on arrival not to flush toilet paper. Bill Gates's recent apologia, in which he conceded that global warming "will not lead to humanity's demise," after he closed the policy and advocacy office of his climate philanthropy group is just the latest nail in the coffin.
