President Trump is giving the UN a reality check.

Washington Examiner (9/23/25) reports: "President Donald Trump dismissed green policies and the risks of climate change during his address to the United Nations, describing the concept of a carbon footprint as a 'hoax.' During his first in-person appearance at the U.N. General Assembly since 2019, Trump criticized initiatives to mitigate the effects of climate change, saying countries that prioritize climate-related policies will fail and go bankrupt. 'All green is all bankrupt,' Trump said Tuesday in New York City, later calling climate change the 'greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.' Trump said he is worried about Europe being devastated by energy failures and excess immigration, as many member states of the European Union have continued to phase out fossil fuels and accelerate the implementation of renewable energy alternatives. '[Europe] must take control strongly and immediately of the unmitigated immigration disaster and the fake energy catastrophe before it’s too late,' he said. 'The carbon footprint is a hoax made up by people with evil intentions, and they’re headed down a path of total destruction.'"

"In 2025, the world is burning less, not more. Even Europe burned much less. None of this was reported. What you were told was that the EU burned more because it fits the narrative."

– Bjorn Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center

The Greens are trying to fight poverty with intermittent energy.

RealClear Energy (9/23/25) argues: "On Thursday, the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) announced the sponsorship of 50 'women energy practitioners' for its first 'Global Women in Clean Energy Fellowship.' The women will be working in Nigeria, Ethiopia and Zambia. If RMI were trying to win a climate colonialism contest, then it would be difficult to top this effort. According to Our World in Data, there are 677.4 million people living without 'an electricity source that can provide very basic lighting and charge a phone or power a radio for 4 hours per day.' Most of them are in sub-Saharan Africa, and 156 million of these desperate souls—23% of the world total—reside in those three nations set to receive RMI’s 'women energy practitioners.' ... For RMI, the only fuels that count as 'renewable' and 'clean' are the unreliable options—predominantly weather-dependent wind and solar, pictures of which fill the RMI web pages. According to Our World in Data, nuclear and hydrocarbon fuels account for 80% of the Earth’s primary energy consumption and 87% of American consumption. Even Germany, a nation that has spent at least 15 years and nearly a trillion dollars aggressively implementing RMI’s 'clean' energy agenda, still uses hydrocarbons for 77% of its (now very expensive) energy."
