The government is not your climate change savior

Once again, the real motive of climate alarmism finds its way out of the shadows of the Green New Deal and manifests itself in calls to uproot, destroy, and reshape our current tools for change and do away with them entirely. In its place would come a government that seeks to regulate everything, not just the climate.

We’ve seen how awful the government can be at preparing and responding to a major crisis. Take, for instance, COVID-19. Everything about the coronavirus pandemic that has been botched was, in large part, because of the government response. What makes us think that the government can take on climate change? If the pandemic has shown us anything, it’s that those best equipped to handle major issues are those responsible, innovative, go-getting individuals who truly seek to make the world better by taking matters into their own hands — and their wallets.
