From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Tilak K. Doshi<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spate of stories in the media recently provides a remarkable illustration of how the globalist policy agenda of the climate industrial complex<\/a> has captured key international institutions and perverted their original organizational aims. From initially serving broad, laudable objectives for the welfare of their constituents, these institutions have been subverted over the years to serve the insistent pseudoscientific claims of climate alarmists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The corruption of global institutions has, in turn, led to significant opposition that is becoming apparent. There is the prospect of an incoming Trump administration that is avowedly sceptical of the claims of an alleged climate crisis and is intent on exiting the UN\u2019s Paris Agreement and its \u201cnet zero by 2050\u201d policy target for a second time. This presents a welcome challenge to these corrupt institutions. Will President Trump and some of the populist parties in Europe be capable of countering the entrenched globalist climate agenda?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World Bank<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 17th<\/sup> October, Oxfam published a report<\/a> that shockingly found that up to $41 billion in World Bank climate finance \u2014nearly 40% of all climate funds disbursed by the Bank over the past seven years\u2014 is \u201cunaccounted for between the time projects were approved and when they closed.\u201d In other words, no one knows how the money was used. There is no paper trail revealing where the money went or what the accomplished results were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green cronyism, ranging from the Solyndra debacle<\/a> \u2013 the waste of almost half a billion dollars of taxpayers\u2019 money on a failed solar farm project under President Obama\u2019s watch \u2014 to President Biden\u2019s duplicitously-named Inflation Reduction Act<\/a> which will unleash an estimated $1 trillion<\/a> deluge of subsidies on favored \u201cgreen\u201d industries is nothing new. But it is instructive to trace the World Bank\u2019s decline from its honorable founding objectives to its current status as yet another institution advocating green causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Jim Yong Kim, reflecting the progressive virtues of President Obama who appointed him as president of the World Bank in 2012, imposed a ban on the financing of coal-fired power stations in 2013. This was followed by a ban on investments in all new upstream oil and gas resource development projects. The distinguished economist Deepak Lal,  a former Research Administrator of the Bank, remarked <\/a>that Dr. Kim incredulously \u201cover-ruled the cost-benefit estimates of coal-based power over solar and wind-based power generation produced by his own economic staff, justifying this by reference to a wish to cut global emissions of greenhouse gases.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World Bank\u2019s objections to the use of fossil fuels despite their importance to economic growth and poverty alleviation \u2013 which constitute its foundational institutional objectives \u2014 can be traced to the intellectual evolution of its management under James Wolfensohn during his decade as president (1995 \u2013 2005). Mr. Wolfensohn traced the arc from the old regime to the new. The old was represented by the \u201cWashington consensus<\/a>\u201d of free markets, liberal trading regimes, sound money and entrepreneurship associated with the classical liberalism of Adam Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new intellectual environment of the World Bank\u2019s management \u2013 personified by Joseph Stiglitz, Chief Economist of the World Bank (1997 \u2013 2000) \u2014 was defined by the theoretical failures of the free market, especially in accounting for the alleged negative climate impacts of fossil fuel use. Stiglitz, a climate alarmist, wrote in a 2015 court brief<\/a> for a failed climate lawsuit brought on behalf of a group of children against the US Federal government that \u201cfossil fuel-based economies imposed \u2018incalculable\u2019 costs on society and shifting to clean energy will pay off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rupert Darwall, a former adviser to the United Kingdom\u2019s Chancellor of the Exchequer and author of Green Tyranny<\/a>, encapsulates the betrayal of the World Bank to its founding objectives as follows<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World Bank\u2019s mission has been subverted by green ideologues who assert that a low-carbon world benefits the world\u2019s poor but fail to acknowledge that making energy much more costly increases poverty. The World Bank tags itself as \u2018working for a world free of poverty\u2019\u2026In making its choice between development and sustainability, the World Bank has decided it is going to try and \u2018save the planet\u2019 on the backs of the poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By abdicating its founding principles for alleviating global poverty, the World Bank has taken a lead role among multilateral financial institutions in denying vast financial resources to poorer countries. It has hypocritically vetoed the right of developing countries to adopt the path of economic growth and environmental improvement that the now-rich countries had taken up successfully since the industrial revolution two centuries ago. The Bank\u2019s obsessive support for intermittent, low-yield renewable energy such as solar and wind power comes at the cost of its central charter to help the poor, an outcome that can only be described as egregiously unjust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN IPCC issued a news release<\/a> on December 6th<\/sup> prior to the start of a \u201cscoping\u201d meeting in Kuala Lumpur of over 230 experts from 70 countries to draft outlines of working group contributions to the UN IPCC\u2019s 7th <\/sup>Assessment Report (to be completed in 2029). In the press release, the IPCC claimed that human combustion of fossil fuels \u201chas resulted in more frequent and more intense extreme weather events that have caused increasingly dangerous impacts on nature and people in every region of the world.\u201d This is contrary to the IPCC\u2019s position<\/a> hitherto, which is that almost all types of extreme weather events cannot be attributed with confidence to human activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The position of the IPCC regarding the lack of any link between climate change and extreme weather events is contrary to the almost daily headlines in the mainstream media attributing specific adverse weather events to \u201cclimate change.\u201d  The work of eminent climate policy analysts  Steve Koonin<\/a> and Roger Pielke Jr<\/a>. has done much to expose the pseudoscientific nature of what has been called \u201cattribution studies.\u201d These typically involve researchers who apply their climate models and historical observations to conclude that any particular weather event (say a hurricane or a drought) was made \u201cmore likely\u201d or \u201cmore severe\u201d by some magnitude in percentage units due to \u201chuman influence\u201d (referring to the combustion of fossil fuels).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the dubious claims of \u201cattribution science,\u201d New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a climate law<\/a> last week that will require companies operating in New York state responsible for large amounts of planet-warming pollution to contribute to climate damage repair efforts. Under the new state law, companies responsible for the bulk of emissions from 2000 to 2018 will be on the hook for some $3 billion a year over the next 25 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Koonin cites the World Meteorological Organization that states that \u201cany single event, such as tropical cyclone cannot be attributed to human-induced climate change, given the state of scientific understanding.\u201d The IPCC\u2019s \u201cSpecial Report on Extreme Events\u201d states<\/a> that \u201cMany weather and climate extremes are the result of natural climate variability\u2026Even if there were no anthropogenic changes in climate, a wide variety of natural weather and climate extremes would still occur.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, international organizations such as the World Bank and the IPCC have been increasingly politicized to serve climate hysteria. In this context, Chris Morrison<\/a> of The Daily Sceptic<\/em> finds that \u201c[f]ears are growing that the IPCC could water down or even ditch its current finding that almost all types of extreme weather events have little or no sign of past human involvement, or any going forward to 2100.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Energy Agency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On December 23rd<\/sup>, U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, released a report<\/a> documenting how the International Energy Agency \u201chas moved away from its energy security mission to become an \u201cenergy transition\u201d cheerleader.\u201d The report finds that the \u201cFrench President Macron\u2019s observation that IEA has become the \u2018armed wing for implementing the Paris Agreement\u2019 is regrettably true. With the many serious energy security challenges facing the world, however, IEA should not be a partisan cheerleader. What the world needs from IEA\u2014and what it is not receiving now\u2014is sober and unbiased analyses and projections that educate and inform policymakers and investors. IEA needs to remember why it was established and return to its energy security mission.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The divergence of the IEA away from its original mission to advise policymakers in its member countries with sound analysis of trends in global energy supply and demand to becoming a \u201ccheerleader\u201d for radical net zero emission policy targets has not gone unnoticed over recent years. I have written on the ideological approach adopted by the IEA in its advocacy for green causes here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the organization issued a call for the cessation of all future investments in developing fossil fuel resources in May 2021, this is what I wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a month since the International Energy Agency \u2013 the rich world\u2019s energy advisory body established in the wake of the oil price shock of 1973 \u2014 issued its astonishing report<\/a> calling for the end to all new investments in oil and gas (let alone coal) from 2021. As expected, the IEA \u201croad-map\u201d elicited widespread media coverage and strong reactions, ranging from gushing support<\/a> from those convinced of a \u201cclimate emergency\u201d to outright dismissal, as in the case of the Saudi oil minister<\/a> who called the report a sequel to \u201cLa La Land.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When ideological advocacy becomes the measure of achievement for the IEA, the loss of credibility and soundness of its policy advice is only to be expected.  The IEA\u2019s messianic fervour for green technologies such as solar and wind power, \u201cgreen\u201d hydrogen, batteries and electric vehicles prevents it from asking basic questions. If it is true that drastically cutting back on fossil fuels is consistent with higher economic growth and increased productive employment, why does the IEA recommend policymakers to force countries along \u201cnet-zero\u201d pathways? Surely, if replacing fossil fuels with wind and solar energy and electric vehicles promote growth and employment, then wouldn\u2019t countries such as China and India naturally race towards this best of all possible worlds without expensive green subsidies and punitive anti-fossil fuel policies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trumpian Revolution Looms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-profit organizations reflect the needs of their funding members, and organizations such as the World Bank, IPCC and IEA are no different. As their funding is primarily from the US and EU, it is not surprising that they manifest the \u201cclimate emergency\u201d predilections of the Biden administration and the largely left-socialist West European governments which see climate change as an existential threat and a national security priority. In taking up the mantle of green advocacy on behalf of their paymasters, these organizations have lost all credibility as independent and objective advisors for their member countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The climate industrial complex fears the prospect of the Trump administration\u2019s pullout of the Paris agreement for the second time. Politico<\/em>, a reliable mouthpiece for the climate establishment, expressed<\/a> these fears soon after Mr. Trump\u2019s election victory: \u201cThe world is bracing for President-elect Donald Trump to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement for the second time \u2014 only this time, he could move faster and with less restraint.\u201d In Europe, the emergence of populist parties<\/a>  have been partly propelled by the widespread rejection<\/a> by EU citizens of the onerous fiscal burdens imposed by green policies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seismic change in policy direction that a second term \u201cdrill, baby, drill\u201d Trump administration<\/a> promises for the global climate juggernaut \u2013 represented by the three leading international agencies covered here \u2013 can only be seen as hopeful as we look forward to positive developments in energy policy in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
