The ‘Green Energy Transition’ That Wasn’t

For three decades, climate campaigners have fought to make fossil fuels so expensive that people would be forced to abandon them. Their dream is becoming reality: Energy prices are spiraling out of control and will soon get even worse. Yet we are no closer to solving climate change.

As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the birth of modern environmentalism, we should pause to give each other a virtual high five for the impressive environmental progress society has accomplished during this span. We should also think about the ways we can make the next 50 years far more effective.

In a joint essay with Dr. Jordan Peterson, Bjorn Lomborg argues in Britain's Telegraph that global leaders at COP27 need to change their climate policy approach and unleash innovation instead of continuing to push failed policies.
