The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels by Alex Epstein

1.0

This is like writing about the moral case for eating fats. Everyone knows that eating fat is essential for development of the brain since brain is mostly composed of fats. However this does not make doctors recommend eating unlimited fat to overweight people.

Psuedo-experts like Epstein present a false dichotomy - by ignoring the time and scale of issues. Environmentalists everywhere are not asking for an immediate or total ban on fossil fuels - instead they are recommending a drastic reduction in their use.

Thankfully, the numbers of idiots like Epstein are declining are now found mostly in USA. Even the great Donald Trump has recently changed his position to say that Climate Change is not a fraud.
