It must have been one the most absurd meetings of national leaders ever, and Paris learned its lessons. Paris was a placebo for those aroused to moral outrage and political activism by the almost unchallenged political and pseudo-scientific agitation of the climate-change alarmists these 30 years. The president of the United States spoke the truth, and the world will be grateful to him for it. The new French president Emmanuel Macron, and his wife and former school-teacher, Brigitte, 24 years his senior (Macron has step-children older than he is), are also a unique tandem. If so, it would continue a remarkable trend seen of late — rarely have political bedfellows been more improbable than they are now.
