I learned that the widely respected IPCC does not acknowledge the massive decrease in *climate-related* disaster deaths driven by fossil fuels. This is as disreputable as a panel on polio that doesn't acknowledge the massive decrease in polio deaths driven by the polio vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org

The fact about fossil fuels that most shaped my thinking was: *FFs give us an incredible ability to master climate.* Most people have no idea that FFs have not only contributed to 1°C of warming in the last 100+ years, but also to a 98% decline in climate-related disaster deaths! https://t.co/o9GZw0UsBj — PolitiTweet.org

I also learned that in addition to ignoring the benefits of fossil fuels, many of our leading thinkers and institutions have a track record of *catastrophizing* the side-effects of fossil fuels—predicting fossil fuels would make life terrible when in fact they made it far better. — PolitiTweet.org
