Celebrities, Plutocrats Jet to Roman Bacchanal to "Rap" with Google About Climate Change

Asteroids wanted.

The billionaire creators of Google have invited a who’s who of A-list names-- including former President Barack Obama, Prince Harry, Leonardo DiCaprio and Katy Perry -- to the Sicilian seaside for a mega-party they’ve dubbed Google Camp.

The three-day event will focus on fighting climate change -- though it's unknown how much time the attendees will spend discussing their own effect on the environment, such as the scores of private jets they arrived in and the mega yachts many have been staying on.

"Everything is about global warming, that is the major topic this year," a source told The Post.

Their three-day summer camp will cost the tech giant some $20 million, sources said.

Now, you might think that throwing a rager in a Roman ruins and inviting the ultrarich to jet in to do ecstasy and rap about the environment would demonstrate that the environment must be in pretty good shape on the whole.

But you'd be wrong!

Because #TheScience has been rechecked, and the #FinaglersConstant readjusted, and it turns out that we don't have 12 years to save the earth -- we only have fourteen months, which puts the last possible moment to save the planet at just about the time of the next US presidential election, conveniently enough!

Wow, I love when #TheScience just happens to coincide with political agitation schedules!

Scientific reality makes clear that the only plausible way to preserve a livable climate -- and hence modern civilization -- starts with aggressive national and global cuts in carbon pollution by 2030.

But political reality makes clear that such cuts can't happen instantly -- and that global action requires leadership from the United States. After all, the U.S. is the richest country in the world and the biggest cumulative source of heat-trapping emissions over the past century.

With eight years of a pro-science president, Barack Obama, the nation made steady progress on reducing emissions and committing to future reductions, enabling a global climate deal in Paris in 2015. But with just two and a half years of an anti-science administration, national and global progress have both stalled under President Donald Trump, who has begun to abandon the Paris Accord and undermine action here and abroad.

That means November 3, 2020 -- the U.S. presidential election -- is the deadline for Americans who do not want to destroy the health and well-being of current generations, their children, and future generations. If Trump is reelected, the prospects for the necessary national and global cuts in carbon pollution by 2030 will be gone.
