631: Micro Propaganda
Polish MEP Janusz Korwin-Mikke, Zero Growth Movement
Polish MEP Janusz Korwin-Mikke delivered a speech in the European Parliament denouncing the "war on global warming" as a tool for achieving "zero growth." He argued that carbon dioxide is beneficial for plant life and that climate policies are a "humbug" designed to waste trillions of euros. The hosts link this to the 1970s "population bomb" hysteria and the Club of Rome's efforts to limit industrial expansion.
