Correcting the Media Created Myths About Poverty (Pt. 1) | Marian Tupy | ENVIRONMENT | Rubin Repor..

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to Marian Tupy (editor, Humanprogress.org) to get a good dose of optimism and to discuss the ignored story of global poverty reduction, debunk the myths of the US’s rising CO2 emissions, and what environmental activists like Extinction Rebellion get so wrong about climate change. Marian shares mind blowing statistics and the story of progress that no media outlet will cover, that the planet is creating more wealth than ever before. All long term indicators show that economic growth is decreasing the amount of poor people on Earth and improving the quality of life for millions and millions of people and reducing extreme poverty around the globe . It is only when the media doesn’t distinguish between needs and wants that it is able to create the impression that economic globalization is increasing poverty. We are even seeing declines in poverty in India and China. Marian credits international trade, multinational corporations along with the collapse of Socialism and Communism around the world for the success of combating global poverty.
