Green Breakers

Greens would rather let the world be broke:

Alarmist campaigners and credulous journalists fail to account for the simple fact that people are remarkably adaptable and tackle most climate problems at low cost. Take food: Climate campaigners warn we’ll starve, but research shows that instead of a 51% increase in food availability by 2100 if there were no climate change, we are on-track for “only” a 49% increase. Or weather disasters: They killed half a million people annually in the 1920s, whereas the last decade saw fewer than 9,000 fatalities each year. The 97.5% reduction in mortality is because people are more resilient because they’re richer and can access better technology. Extremist climate campaigners and far-left politicians reveal their true colors when they push for “de-growth” to cut emissions. Making people worse off and reversing gains against extreme poverty would be a tragic mistake, making it harder to address all our other problems.

But at least the planet would be "saved..."
