The article evaluates global spending on climate change projects from 2011 to 2018, showing that $3660 billion was invested. Most of this money went to wind and solar energy, which have increased their contribution to world energy consumption. However, coal, oil, and gas still supply most of the world's energy. The article highlights concerns about the feasibility and environmental impacts of wind and solar energy, but also emphasizes that no energy source is perfect. Policy-makers need to consider the pros and cons of each technology when making decisions.
