Weekly review of news on climate and energy

Quote of the week: "Science is organized common sense, where many beautiful theories have been killed by cumbersome facts." - Thomas Huxley.

Week number: 50 years.

These news articles discuss the heartless aspects of the zero-emission policies or Green New Deal promoted by the UN, EU, USA, and Canada, which deprive poor regions of affordable and reliable electricity.

In 1990, around 2 billion people lived in extreme poverty (less than $2.15 a day, adjusted for purchasing power parity and inflation). By 2019, the number of people living in extreme poverty had decreased to about 1.6 billion, with 80% of them residing in East Asia and the Pacific region.

However, due to the policies established by the UN, the US, and the EU, traditional international financial institutions are refusing to provide loans to countries that wish to implement fossil fuel projects for electricity generation.

Thus, the UN and other organizations are violating the Sustainable Development Goals, which assert that the main priority is to eradicate extreme poverty for all people by 2030, and according to the judgments of those who oppose such injustice, the leaders of these organizations have no shame at all.
