Donald Trump calls climate change a “hoax,” a “scam,” and a “con job.” He has (twice) withdrawn the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, and he has pulled the plug, or tried to, on “the Green New Scam,” which is what he calls President Joe Biden’s extensive subsidies to alternative energy in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. (The Green New Deal, as Trump well knows, is a separate and…

Report 24 is highly critical of “climate fanatics” and “green ideology,” framing the event as proof that renewable energy infrastructure is too fragile and expensive for practical long-term use. But Germany’s leaders refuse to acknowledge this reality, insisting that green energies are plentiful, cheap, reliable and that the real problem is that not enough has been invested in them.
