Mexico’s new president is a United Nations climate bureaucrat, so naturally, California Democrats see her as an ally when it appears she is anything but.

Mexico’s president-elect is Claudia Sheinbaum, who worked on reports for the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Democratic politicians in California and liberal professors are praising this development because, as Assemblyman Eduardo Garcia said, “Having an engineer whose background is working on climate, it’s a big deal.”
