Since Biden’s so-called clean energy transition has suffered multiple setbacks, and countries are embracing fossil fuels like never before, the environmentalist movement is going back to climate change scaremongering.

A significant shift in donor contributions to nonprofits fighting climate change in recent years has left some of the nation’s biggest environmental organizations facing critical shortfalls in programs on toxic chemicals, radioactive contamination and wildlife protection.

The Natural Resources Defense Council is shutting down its nuclear mission and has laid off its top lawyer in the field, Geoffrey Fettus, who led decades of litigation against the Energy Department to force radioactive waste cleanup and halt the creation of a nuclear waste dump at Yucca Mountain in Nevada.

The NRDC is not alone. The Sierra Club, Defenders of Wildlife and the Environmental Working Group, which have been at the forefront of efforts to clean up waste water, regulate pesticides and adopt tougher standards for atomic power plants, are facing similar financial problems.

“Most environmental programs don’t have significant toxics programs anymore,” said Ken Cook, founder and president of the Environmental Working Group, which still devotes nearly half its budget to battling toxics in food, personal care items, cleaning products and water.

Meanwhile, global spending to fight climate change by environmental groups and other nonprofits reached $8 billion in 2021, most of it in the United States and Canada, according to a survey released in September by the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.

Money has flowed into such groups as the ClimateWorks Foundation, which had revenues of $366 million in 2021. In its own report last week, ClimateWorks said that international funding from foundations for climate work had more than tripled since 2015.

It took a while for Biden’s clean energy plans to collapse, but crash they did as evidenced by renewable energy stocks crumbling during stock market trading earlier this month. From The New York Times:

The returns are ugly. The iShares Global Clean Energy E.T.F., an exchange-traded fund that tracks the entire industry, is down more than 30 percent this year. Even worse, since the start of 2021, it has lost more than 50 percent.

Narrower sectors are being punished, too. The Invesco Solar E.T.F. is down more than 40 percent this year and almost 60 percent since Jan. 1, 2021. The First Trust Global Wind Energy E.T.F. has lost about 20 percent this year and about 40 percent since Jan. 1, 2021.

Even the financial sector has had to eat crow with their attempts to virtue signal as indicated by former BlackRock research head Carole Crozat admitting as such:

“Collectively, investors understand that it was an illusion – that over the short term, governments will always prioritise jobs and the economy over any long-term target,” she noted. “And that’s when this belief that these three objectives sit nicely alongside each other completely unravels.”

Crozat’s views were echoed in a recent IPE article on the effectiveness of sustainable finance, in which some market participants questioned whether their careers in the industry had contributed to any meaningful change.

The green energy vision was nothing more than a unicorn and it is no surprise that gang green is shifting their focus back to climate doomsday scaremongering. It may well be worse than public relations since the left has been able to recruit enough college and university students to join the global jihad against Israel and the Jews.

Even though many of the privileged, Ivy League antisemites are being publicly humiliated and their lives ruined, there’s always the touchy-feely protect Mother Earth mantra that seems to get much of a pass and could be the next conduit for the left’s newly groomed foot soldiers to employ their hatred. In other words, eco-terrorism could make a comeback in a big way, be prepared.
