The green movement made the Wuhan epidemic worse

The environmental movement has made the Wuhan epidemic more severe than it would otherwise be.  And I included in this movement not just the enviro-activists and assorted kooks like Greta Thunberg, but also most of the Democrat Party and the entire media.  They have done this by continually harping and hyping the dangers of man-made climate change to the exclusion of everything else.

Every time you turn on the news these days, a health official somewhere in the country is bemoaning the lack of preparation for an epidemic and the lack of ventilators, masks, and other critical medical supplies.  The enviro-movement deserve part of the blame for this.  It was they who forced governments to direct enormous amounts of money to subsidies for wind and solar as well as to fund green pork-barrel projects like Barack Obama’s $535-million Solyndra boondoggle.  That money, or at least part of it, could have gone into preparation for a true danger — like a viral epidemic, an epidemic many health officials were warning about.
