Climate Alarmists Spend ‘Like 27.4 Louvre Heists’ Daily, Accomplish Nothing

While you and I work hard to pay our bills and keep up with the ever-rising cost of living, government officials both in America and overseas have spent like drunken sailors on climate alarmist causes. After decades of such expensive nonsense, nothing has been accomplished, except the enrichment of a lot of liars and the impoverishment of Western nations’ citizens.

There is no climate crisis, which is why every single major climate alarmist prediction over the past 60+ years has been wildly wrong. That has not stopped governments around the world from spending billions and even trillions of dollars on climate projects that accomplished nothing. The failure is so bad that even Bloomberg News is grudgingly admitting the issue.

Here's an interesting estimate from climate truth teller Steve Milloy before we dive into the Bloomberg piece, referring to the recent $102 million Louvre jewelry heist:

Bloomberg asked, “The Paris Agreement was a huge deal when it was signed in 2015 at COP21. But after 10 years and $10 trillion dollars invested into decarbonizing our economies, what has it accomplished?” Climate journalist Laura Millan said bluntly, “I think the answer is clear. You look at the numbers, and it hasn’t succeeded. We’re still headed to close to 3°C by the end of the century.”

She then tried to defend the failure by claiming that if only we keep spending money we will eventually force the many ever-changing climates all around the entire globe to conform to our will, because alarmists are “building the momentum that the world needs to really get started on climate action.” It is worth noting, incidentally, that the average global temperature to which she is referring here is a myth, impossible to measure. Not only that, but carbon is the necessary building block of all life on earth, so reducing carbon is actually dangerous if not deadly.

Climate alarmists claim they are saving the planet, but “green” energy is incredibly toxic for the environment, besides being expensive and inefficient, and all the climate policies seem to do is make people less wealthy and less free (with the exception of a handful of elites). In fact, for many of the people preaching climate catastrophe, the propaganda is simply an excuse to enact Marxist policies. As the World Economic Forum put it, you’ll “own nothing, have no privacy,” and like it — or else.

Another way climate alarmists try to defend their spending is by claiming they are helping developing countries. That is pure nonsense. Indeed, a new report from The Guardian states: “Less than 3% of international aid to slash carbon emissions is supporting a ‘just transition’ for workers and communities away from polluting industries, according to a new report.” Individual starving or being attacked by Islamic Jihadis in Africa and Asia, or workers struggling to find employment in America and Europe, don’t want solar panels or “green” factories, but they are not even getting what they were promised, let alone what they really need.

Joe Biden’s misnamed “Inflation Reduction Act” committed some $391 billion to climate projects, and he committed altogether some $700 billion to climate-related projects during his presidency. But the climate did not change, and Americans were left poorer than ever after four years of the Biden administration. Biden’s $7.5 billion EV charging stations program was supposed to establish half a million installations but only established seven, raising serious questions about where the rest of the money went. Climate grifter Al Gore was mind-blowingly wrong in his doom prophecies, but he managed to amass $330 million off the grift.

All of which is to say that while the glaciers have not melted, our taxpayer money has certainly melted away at an alarming rate thanks too unscientific and unproductive climate alarmism.
