Was Climate Change Biggest Scam Ever?
Did you EVER believe Al Gore?
The green energy crowd and big-government types have been pushin’ the “climate crisis” line for decades, claimin’ the sky’s fallin’ unless we dump trillions into windmills, solar panels, and bans on cheap fossil fuels. But economist Stephen Moore lays it out plain: governments worldwide have blown at least $16 trillion on this “climate change industrial complex” since the scare started—and what do we got to show? Not one measurably saved life or cooled degree on the planet. Folks like Al Gore, John Kerry, and the UN crowd got rich while poor nations stayed poor without affordable energy. Moore calls it the biggest financial scandal ever—inhumane, wasteful, and time to call out the scam.

Calls for a “wall of shame” for those who profited while wastin’ trillions that could’ve helped real needs like health or poverty fights.
