We saw this a mile away. But now a new study from a climate change institute at Stanford confirms what we believed to be true.  Expensive and job-destroying climate change policies are falling out of favor around the world:

Gee, we wonder why that would be the case?  Maybe because the war on fossil fuels has deindustrialized Germany and many other European nations.  Maybe it’s because green energy is so much more expensive to produce. Maybe because the biggest polluters like China have done nothing.

Our friend Marc Morano of Climate Change Depot is keeping track of the big green retreat in major nations.

Here’s his list:

• • • Germany
    • New Zealand
    • Canada
    • Australia
    • Belgium
    • Ireland
    • United States

A 2024 article in the left-leaning Foreign Affairs magazine, gave a pretty honest assessment of what happened: it was “the rise of a new ‘silent majority’ in the West, one bent on repudiating an out-of-touch elite that was either oblivious to the suffering their policies had caused or entirely indifferent to it.”

Bingo.

And good riddance.
