For Climate Week, lets reject the green fantasy: Carbon is NOT the enemy

There’s a whole lot of hot air coming out of New York City this week.As politicians, celebrities and academics descend on the Big Apple for Climate Week NYC, expect a lot of bad ideas — and ironically a lot of carbon dioxide emissions — from elites eager to force their political agenda on the masses but unwilling to make the sacrifice themselves.Starting Sunday, these self-appointed climate crusaders are busily lecturing ordinary Americans about how to live, what to drive, and even what to eat, all while flying in on private jets and being chauffeured around town in SUVs.As they pontificate from podiums and plush panels about reducing carbon footprints, they conveniently ignore their own outsized ones.Climate Week is rehashing the same tired, failed schemes of the climate movement, branded this year with an “age of urgency,” perhaps in recognition that their ideas still don’t work.Despite the ramped-up doomsday rhetoric, our environment is thriving — and this is the best time in human history to be alive.If you’re looking for someone to blame for inflation, start with the devotees of Climate Week: Their anti-fossil fuel proposals have resulted in higher energy prices, which increase the cost of everything.Add to that the tax burden of the hundreds of billions spent on renewable-energy subsidies (which have barely moved the needle on our energy landscape) and pressure from the ESG movement, which bullies businesses into adopting climate initiatives or risk debanking.Yet for all that investment — and all that cost increase — wind and solar power still represent just 5% of the nation’s energy production.Despite the Left’s best efforts, wind and solar are largely failed technologies.They work all right when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining, but weather conditions are notoriously difficult to predict and rarely track with electricity needs.No matter how many industrial wind farms and solar panels we build, those systems rely on fossil...
