The Horrific Cost of Green Religion

16 trillion dollars have been wasted.



The greatest financial scandal in history is unraveling. Governments are backing away from the Green insanity. Bjorn Lomborg says the nations of the world have spent 16 trillion dollars on the so-called green energy transition and what have we  gotten for our money? Nothing. Fossil CO2 emissions set another record last year. So for 16 trillion dollars we haven’t lowered emissions one wit. We have spent 113 times more money on the green illusion than we have on poverty. Think how many third world villagers lives could have been saved if we had spent that money on cheap energy for people in Africa, India and elsewhere. Indoor air pollution from burning wood and dung to cook and keep warm kills more than 3 million people per year. Those lives would have been saved with cheap electricity. 

Believing that there is no God and His providential intervention leads people to make terrible public policy decisions.  It gets millions of people killed whose lives would have been saved by wise doctrine.
