The truth is that Earth is not a “delicate nurturer” but “wild potential” (dynamic, deficient, dangerous) and human beings are “producer-improvers” who can impact it for the better. When you recognize this truth you value human impact and expect us overcome problems. https://t.co/EqJcwlpIt1 — PolitiTweet.org

Insofar as you believe that Earth is a “delicate nurturer,” you believe that human beings are “parasite polluters” whose impact on Earth will *inevitably* lead to disaster. That’s why catastrophists keep thinking their next catastrophe prediction will be the one that’s right. — PolitiTweet.org

The major philosophical reason leading thinkers ignore fossil fuels’ benefits is that their primary moral goal is not advancing human flourishing on Earth but eliminating human impact on Earth. To them FFs’ benefits are unimportant or even bad (because they impact Earth a lot). — PolitiTweet.org
