The Green New Steal: The Business of Climate Change

They told us it was about saving the planet. But what if the climate movement was never about carbon at all? From Al Gore’s million-dollar mansions to trillion-dollar carbon markets, “The Green New Steal” uncovers how environmentalism became the most profitable business model in modern history.
This episode dives deep into the intersection of climate policy, global finance, and political control, exposing how the same corporations that fueled the old energy economy are now cashing in on the green one.
We trace the story from “An Inconvenient Truth” and the birth of carbon credits, through the European Union’s Emissions Trading System, the UN’s Agenda 2030, and the Inflation Reduction Act, revealing who truly profits when governments tax, trade, and regulate in the name of climate justice.
What happens when the fight to “save the Earth” becomes a marketplace?
Who benefits when every mile, meal, and breath carries a price?
And what if the real product isn’t carbon, it’s us? Written and hosted by Mike Droberg. Forgotten History is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.
