The Global Climate Action Summit may or may not save the planet, but it did serve as a great platform for launching former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s run for president in 2020. Not a word was said publicly, but I firmly believe the former maverick Republican is eyeing a run for the White House as a Democrat. In the past few years, Bloomberg has donated tens of millions of dollars to such causes as countering climate change, helping inner-city programs and fighting sugary-soda makers.
