An agreement has been reached at COP21 in Paris, and people including President Obama, John Kerry and Al Gore are applauding themselves for saving the planet:

Today, the nations of the world concluded a bold and historic agreement. https://t.co/ysgJAccObh #COP21

But of course there are other things going on in the world, and Vox’s Zack Beauchamp, one of President Obama’s favorite request-fillers, wants more sunlight on the climate deal instead of that other stuff:
It's really striking that this UN climate agreement isn't bigger news than, say, whatever the latest thing ISIS did is.

Like, I understand *why* that's true. But it illustrates, really strikingly, how screwed up our priorities are as a global society.

Well, if the progressives are correct and “climate change” is a cause of terrorism, maybe ISIS will just fade into the sunset thanks to the Paris agreement, right!?

How many people's heads did the UN climate agreement cut off last week? Gays stoned? Children raped? https://t.co/mX19sugwJv

.@zackbeauchamp Progressives using lies and fear to centralize power, eliminate the bourgeois, and control the proletariat is hardly "news".

Meanwhile, most Americans remain focused on a real threat.
