The "climate emergency" movement has rationalized its opposition to fossil fuel investment, production, and transport with claims that solar/wind could rapidly replace FFs. This has obviously not happened. Despite huge solar/wind subsidies fossil fuel demand has *increased*. — PolitiTweet.org

Consider the fate of the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have matched abundant, reliable Canadian heavy crude with US Gulf refining capacity. After over a decade of delays, Biden finally killed it. This made us and our allies more vulnerable to OPEC+. https://t.co/ZTUE0eMCVx — PolitiTweet.org

In the US, opposition to natural gas pipelines and LNG terminals has prevented us from offering cheap gas throughout the country and around the world. In Canada, home of staggering oil deposits, pipeline restrictions have limited their ability to bring oil to market. — PolitiTweet.org

Suppressing fossil fuel transport For fossil fuels to remain low-cost for billions of people we need to be able to easily transport them from where they are produced to where they are used. But the "climate emergency" movement has opposed transportation around the world. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
The "climate emergency" movement pushed France, Germany, the UK, Bulgaria, Spain, Ireland, Denmark, and The Netherlands to place preemptive bans on fracking—the source of bounteous oil and gas production in the US. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Suppressing fossil fuel production For fossil fuel energy to remain low-cost for billions of people requires that producers be free to produce it all around the world. The "climate emergency" movement has opposed it throughout the world, often successfully, increasing prices. — PolitiTweet.org

Is it any wonder that, threatened with punishment, investment in oil and gas declined dramatically? Between 2011 and 2021, oil and gas exploration investments declined by 50%. Less investment = less supply = higher prices. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Suppressing fossil fuel investment For fossil fuel energy to remain low-cost requires sufficient investment. But the "climate emergency" movement has used government and private entities, often under the banner of "ESG," to punish and suppress it—meaning less fossil fuel supply. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
The "climate emergency" movement, centered in the West, has restricted 1. fossil fuel investment 2. fossil fuel production 3. fossil fuel transport This has artificially suppressed fossil fuel *supply*, making industry unable to meet growing demand. Which means sky-high prices. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Unfortunately, instead of recognizing that CO2 emissions are not an emergency and pursuing a long-term emissions-reduction policy of liberating low-carbon alternatives, our leaders declared "emergency" and started immediately restricting fossil fuels—with no viable replacement. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
The only rational approach to reducing fossil fuels' CO2 emissions is a *long-term* one based on *liberating low-carbon innovation.* That will lead to the development of truly globally cost-competitive alternatives—most promisingly, low-cost, global-scale nuclear energy. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Even the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which has a history of catastrophizing fossil fuels’ climate impacts and ignoring their climate benefits, contemplates *no scenario in which overall well-being declines due to climate change*. https://t.co/hXwvKVgdah — PolitiTweet.org

Fossil fuels actually overall make us far safer from climate by providing low-cost energy for the amazing machines that protect us against storms, protect us against extreme temperatures, and alleviate drought. Climate disaster deaths have decreased 98% over the last century. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
The truth is that fossil fuels' CO2 emissions have contributed to the warming of the last 170 years, but that warming has been mild—1° C, mostly in the colder parts of the world. And life on Earth thrived (and was far greener) when CO2 levels were at least 5X higher than today's. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
While "climate change"—humans impacting climate—is real, "climate emergency" is not. The world is slowly becoming warmer—at a cold point in geological history, when many more people die of cold than of heat. This doesn't at all justify rapidly restricting global fossil fuel use. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
The global energy crisis constitutes an emergency—a dire and deadly problem requiring a swift, dramatic solution. What’s the solution to the global energy emergency? We must put a stop to its cause: the "climate emergency" movement’s campaign to rapidly eliminate fossil fuels. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
While America is suffering from the energy crisis and Europe is suffering far more, the worst-affected are poor nations—who are getting outbid for today’s scarce energy supplies. For example, we’ve seen power outages in Bangladesh, which has been outbid for natural gas by Europe. https://t.co/SxkwC7pX5E — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
The world is experiencing the worst energy crisis since the 1970s, and it may end up being far worse. Skyrocketing energy prices are driving price inflation in every area of life. Even in wealthy Europe we are seeing mass-hardship, deindustrialization, and fear of winter. https://t.co/JhRh5ruWGW — PolitiTweet.org

How a fake climate emergency created a real energy emergency The false idea that fossil fuels' climate impacts are an "emergency" that requires us to rapidly eliminate fossil fuels has caused an energy emergency. The "climate emergency" movement must be held accountable. 🧵👇 — PolitiTweet.org

“you never talk about the fact that there are far more cold-related deaths in the world than heat-related deaths, that we need fossil fuels to deal with hot weather, and that climate-related disaster deaths are at all time lows.” With @darrengrimes_ https://t.co/B38wC3gQR2 — PolitiTweet.org

I blew past my 45-min Thoughtful Time goal today thanks to @lexfridman’s epic interview of legendary BJJ/MMA coach/philosopher John Danaher. Even if you don’t like combat sports the discussion of confidence is a must-hear. As is the discussion of animal combat. https://t.co/bQ2ZEZWqeg — PolitiTweet.org

“The overregulation of low-carbon nuclear verges on criminalization, making nuclear costs 10X higher than they need to be. Decriminalizing nuclear, including radical reform of the NRC and EPA, will make energy far cheaper, safer, and cleaner.” https://t.co/zwJHpczUyX — PolitiTweet.org
