From Alberta to Australia, from Finland to France, and beyond, voters are increasingly showing their displeasure with expensive energy policies imposed by politicians in an inane effort to purportedly fight human-caused climate change.
In part as a reaction against Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's climate policies, global warming skeptic Doug Ford was elected as premier of Ontario, Canada's most populous province.
On the campaign trail, Thierry Baudet, FvD's leader, said the government should stop funding programs to meet the country's commitments to international climate change agreements, saying such efforts are driven by "Climate change hysteria."
In Finland, climate change policies became the dominant issue in the April 14 election, as support for climate skepticism suddenly surged.
While all the other parties proposed plans to raise energy prices and limit energy use, when all the votes had been counted, the Finns Party, which made the fight against expensive climate policies the central part of its platform, came out the big winner with the second-highest number of seats in Parliament.
Just two months prior to the election, polls showed the Finns Party's support hovering below 10%. But after the the party made battling alarmist climate policies its main goal, its popularity soared, delivering it the second-most seats in Finland's legislature - 39, just one seat behind the Social Democratic Party, with 40 seats.
In Alberta, where the economy declined after Prime Minister Trudeau's climate policies were enacted, voters on April 16 threw out the reigning Premier Rachel Notley and her New Democratic Party, which supported federal climate policies.
