The environmental scholar Bjorn Lomborg recently calculated that across the globe, governments have spent at least $16 trillion on the climate change industrial complex.

Arguably, not a single life has been or will be saved by this shameful and colossal misallocation of human resources. The war on safe and abundant fossil fuels has cost many lives in poor countries. The temperature of the planet was not altered by one-tenth of a degree as even the alarmists will admit.

If $16 trillion had been spent on clean water for poor countries, preventing deaths from diseases like malaria, building schools in Africa, bringing reliable electric power to the more than 1 billion people who still lack access, curing cancer, many millions of lives could have been saved.

The green “climate change” obsession could arguably be the most inhumane political movement in history.  Someone should be held responsible.
