Makes Brutal Dictator Kim Jong Un Out To Be A Victim of Climate Change North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attends a meeting with President Donald Trump in June in the Demilitarized Zone between North and Sourth Korea.

Sciascia Published February 16, 2020 at 9:29am There’s really no question those on the left have an ungodly talent for moving the goalposts, and nowhere is that better exemplified than the issue of climate change. From relatively innocuous requests that greenhouse gas emissions be curbed in order to save the planet and the polar bear for future generations to newfound claims that climate change surrounding global warming has rapidly been sensationalized since the turn of the century. Yet, never would anyone have thought when the climate-change-left introduced — and began using for emotional manipulation — its laundry list of international victims, that it would one day include brutal communist dictator Kim Jong Un. According to the left-wing establishment news organization Bloomberg, however, the North Korean autocrat and his people are in fact more than deserving of a spot at the top of that list. twitter.com/business/status/1228588533629308931 “Climate change and the coronavirus are threatening Kim Jong Un’s ambition to ski his way out of international sanctions,” Bloomberg Green reporters Heesu Lee and Sam Kim wrote Wednesday in a baffling article detailing the impacts of global warming on the dictator’s recent national investments. “The North Korean leader, who once went to school in Switzerland, has made tourism a centerpiece of his economic vision since taking power almost a decade ago,” the reporters wrote, “building ski resorts to attract winter-sports enthusiasts and hard currency.” “But with the coronavirus spreading in China, Kim has shut the border to his neighbor, cutting off the largest group of tourists to North Korea,” the report added. “Worse still, like other snow centers from the French Alps to Japan, North Korea is falling victim to changing Arctic weather patterns that are warming winters and reducing the levels of snow on lower slopes.” It’s a strange topic of discussion to say the least, and certainly one that begs the question, “What is the purpose of this journalistic effort?” Was this article simply written to explain that global climate phenomena and regional health epidemics impact the countries on the globe or within a specific region? Because this is hardly a newsworthy development. American readers — no matter how foolish the journalistic elite may feel they are — do not need South Korea’s Kyung Hee University geography professor Kong Woo-seok to explain to them that, “North Korea will face the same challenges posed by global warming” as other nations. Clearly, I’m being facetious. That was never the article’s main point of emphasis — otherwise, its authors might grace us by stopping there. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
