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.

Never, I will never luv fossil fuels. Endorsing fossil fuels is offensive and make u bigoted.
This is easily and possibly one of the dumbest and worst videos that I have ever seen.
I usually agree with PragerU but not this time. Some of his points are true but global warming is still a problem.
It’s too bad you can only unlike this video once
I disagree we have made iT far with fosil fuels but now we have the alternative of clean energy like solar or wind enery
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
If climate rises only 2 degres Celsius the results Will be shocking
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
U suckkkk
If the world was only made of humans, this would make perfect sense.
I look forward to the day New York sinks because of your 'Universities' stupidity.
OH MY GOD LOOK AT HOW FAR THE HORSE AND BUGGY GOT US
sure we could make cars that are better but let's keep the horse and buggy instead
trovré
yeah and what about nuclear power? Chernobyl and prypiat is a mith , right?
i think the guy is confused , the question was how we made earth better , not how we made our life on earth better .
LOL
He would think we turned it to shit.
0:53 lol not in Somalia
Fossil fuels are fantastic! I agree 100%.
I agree that it has helped. But it will build up, no form of filter last forever, nor does it filter all the problems out.
The climate change series by Potholer54 is honest. Watch and compare
stop it!
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.
