Policies Should Address Global Climate Change By Incenting Innovation
Forbes | Wayne Winegarden
October 4, 2019
It is also necessary to understand the actual risks global climate change poses. As Bjorn Lomborg has eloquently argued, “yes, global warming is real and human-caused”, but claims that climate change will lead to the end of the world are unsupported. “The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that by the 2070s, the total effects of climate change, including on ecosystems, will be equivalent to a reduction in average income of 0.2 to 2.0 percent. By then, each person on the planet will be 300 to 500 percent richer.”

The climate-change indoctrination push was coast to coast, with the San Diego school board canceling school for a day so that students could join protest rallies and passing a resolution promoting the Green New Deal. Teacher and author Rebecca Friedrichs rightly observed, “San Diego’s school board should be more concerned with educating its students than canceling classes to send little kids to fill a picket line in support of a partisan agenda.”
The bias in public schools, however, goes even deeper than support for one-day protest marches.

Not every employer realizes what the transition to Medicare for All would entail.
