Why You Should Love Fossil Fuel

Why You Should Love Fossil Fuel

Every year on Earth Day we learn how bad humanity’s economic development is for the health of the planet. But maybe this is the wrong message. Maybe we should instead reflect on how human progress, even use of fossil fuels, has made our environment cleaner and healthier. Alex Epstein of the Center for Industrial Progress explains.

    You think To much on the short term and start thinking About the long term
    Climate control isn't bad but we should avoid climate getting more hot

  2. Okay bring back Abraham Lincoln and show him what has happened to his party. I'd love to see how he reacts when he sees Donald Trump is the face of the very party he founded

    You are not helping anyone.
    All you are saying is that most of our lives are better, than they've ever been, which is true.
    However not only are you ignoring that the current fossil fuel consumption is unsustainable or that the environment experiences a major extinction event or that climate change is actually a serious issue (I could go on), you are also claiming that we should be satisfied with where we are and where we are heading in this world, without changing anything. I hope that I don't have to point out why this reasoning is flawed and harmful.
