The Crippling of the West via
CO2 Emissions
Reductions is a Genius Play highlighting the impact of emissions reductions on the West's economy.
The world's largest coal burner - China - has demanded $1.3 trillion annually from Western nations to supposedly "address climate change."

to bankroll its dubious environmental efforts.

Paris Agreement and dismantle policies
that have drained U.S. resources in the name of climate "justice" -
policies that were eagerly embraced by
global elites but
increasingly rejected by ordinary citizens.
News outlets and policymakers who'd championed Biden's "Net Zero" obsession and the Inflation Reduction Act's green subsidies are scrambling to salvage a movement that seems on its last legs.
Op-eds decrying Trump's "climate denial" are flooding the media as activists panic over what they fear will be the unraveling of years of work.
