It’s
amazing how many people want to use climate change – and the Covid-19
lockdown – as a justification, blueprint or dress rehearsal for reducing
global energy use and CO2 emissions, transforming the US and global
economic systems, and redistributing the world’s wealth and resources.
They’re now claiming the three-month lockdown’s “success” in slashing
fossil fuel consumption proves we can do this on a permanent basis, by
imposing a global Green New Deal that will be all gain with no pain. My
article this week explores these claims, and finds them sorely wanting.
Best regards,
Paul
