Episode Description

When comfortable people in rich countries with abundant energy tell hungry people in poor countries they must do without electricity to save the planet, it's just a new and even more arrogant form of colonialism. In this Climate Discussion Nexus "Backgrounder" video John Robson analyses the real-world damage done by this particular type of conceited do-gooding.To support the Climate Discussion Nexus, subscribe to our YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_egd..., our Rumble channel (https://rumble.com/user/ClimateDN), our newsletter (at http://www.climatediscussionnexus.com/) and our podcast on Spotify, like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and Gettr, and make a monthly or one-time pledge at http://www.climatediscussionnexus.com...
