Policies fashioned by green ideology will lead to Singapore collapsing economically first before it may drown in sea level rise.

It is not a question of whether we should be greener, but how green we want to be and at what pace.

Energy transitions are not sudden revolutionary advances. It took 100 years of the 19th century for coal to account for 50 per cent of global energy production, replacing mankind's earliest "poor man" fuels such as foraged wood, animal dung and agricultural waste.

And from its early beginnings in the 1870s, it took another 100 years for oil to come up to its current share of roughly a third of global primary energy consumed. It also took almost a century for natural gas to account for about a fifth of global primary energy demand by the 1980s, from its beginnings in the early 20th century.

But countries should be allowed to go green at a pace desired by their citizens, and at a price they can afford.
