From WSJopinion: Al Gore and John Kerry want to hijack the World Bank to socialize the risks of public and private climate lending
Journal Editorial Report: The week's best and worst from Kim Strassel, Mary O'Grady and Dan Henninger. Image: Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesWhen Al Gore, John Kerry and the New York Times gang up on someone, you know a political hit is on. That’s what happened last week to World Bank President David Malpass, for the sin of not turning the international lending institution into an arm of Democratic Party policy on climate change.
Mr. Gore started the pile-on by claiming that Mr. Malpass is a “climate denier.” For today’s political left, that charge is an undefined, all-purpose smear intended to banish you from polite company. Mr. Kerry last week also repeated his claim that the bank isn’t doing enough to combat climate change, which really means the bank isn’t taking dictation from him.
