We are often told that taking climate action must be done 'for the children' - to save the planet and stop climate change. Robert Lyman did a review of such claims and found that Net Zero climate policies are actually harming millions of people, especially vulnerable women and children in developing nations, enslaved workers in China, and in the West, young people, the elderly, and single parent homes are facing heat-or-eat poverty due to higher electricity prices from an influx of renewables and related infrastructure like transmission lines. Rather than EVs saving the planet, the mining and processing of various rare earth elements/metals/minerals is often done in countries with poor environmental standards; in places like the Congo, women and children end up mining dangerous materials by hand. Net Zero policies are enriching a few green crony capitalists while enslaving and impoverishing millions of ordinary people.
