Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at the meeting of the International Monertary Fund said it was difficult to determine the causes of global climate change and said global warming was a belief of the “elite.” He said global institutions should emphasize economic growth. He said emphasizing measures to fight warming would harm the poor.
He is the goddam Treasury Secretary. He knows that the world’s poor will (and are) suffering the most from climate change. Jeff Bezos won’t be affected by forest fires and tornadoes and loss of cropland. Scott Bessent won’t be harmed either. He will be dead before the worst effects are felt, but he will die rich. That seems to be what motivates these people. They want to die rich. The hell with the rest of us. They will live like kings, and the hell with the rest of us.
