Earth Day Teach-In on Eco-Imperialism
National Press Club
Washington, DC

Presenters:

Sallie Baliunas, Roger Bate, Paul Driessen, Niger Innis, Norris McDonald, John Meredith, CS Prakash and others discussed eco-imperialism’s impacts on the poor in the US and overseas.

Sallie Baliunas told reporters, “Ineffective actions taken to prevent climate change will significantly increase energy prices for poor Americans and Europeans, making it even more difficult for many to afford heating and air conditioning. Unfounded fears about global warming are also used to justify policies that prevent poor Africans, Indians, Asians and Peruvians from using fossil fuels to generate electricity – forcing them to keep using wood and animal dung for fuel.” Dr. Sallie Baliunas, astrophysicist and TechCentralStation.com science host.
