Hurray for fossil fuels! They have provided the human race with clean drinking water, food, clothing, homes, electricity, sewage treatment, extreme-weather mitigation, and the distribution of necessities. In the past 30 years, they have helped lift an entire quarter of the Earth’s population out of extreme poverty. In The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, Alex Epstein points out that “global malnutrition and undernourishment have plummeted—by 39 percent and 40 percent, respectively, since 1990 .
Climate alarmists are obsessed with taking CO2, now at 418 parts per million (ppm), back to a pre-industrial level—perhaps to 280 ppm, where it was at 200 years ago. But why stop there? If they want to restore the Earth to its pristine condition before man ever walked on it, why not take CO2 back to the level it was at 500 million years ago? You might be surprised to learn that back then CO2 was at 5,000 ppm.
