Climate wasn't high on the list.
food, shelter, education, water, healthcare, rights of women, a lot of important issues on there.
Climate didn't make that high up on the list.

Some call it greenwashing, some call it virtue signaling.
I think I don't judge the intentions.
Maybe the intentions are very real to do your part, but you do have to look at the outcomes.
And when the outcomes show Germany who led with, I won't pronounce it right, but Energiewende, their new energy in 2007 and Europe followed.
When you start going down that path, you start looking at the impacts of that, economic impacts.
Starting in 2008,
The US continued to grow our GDP.
China was on a steeper slope.
Europe went flat.
For 20 years, Europe has been flat economically.
You have to look at that and say, intentions, outcomes, if your industries are closing, your people are leaving, and they're going places where they can afford to operate, it's not gonna help the climate.
Let me say that again.
If your industries aren't functioning and your wealth is decreasing, you're hurting the environment because wealthy nations can afford to invest in the environment.
This is a very important, I'll talk about this tomorrow when I close the conference here.
You can't just have this binary, are you for the environment or are you for energy?
