Even though we obviously need to factor in both - and + impacts of rising CO2 with precision, most designated experts ignore big +s (e.g., global greening) while catastrophizing -s (e.g., Gore portrays 20 ft sea level rise as imminent when extreme UN projections are 3ft/100yrs). — PolitiTweet.org

Irrefutable principle 3: Factor in fossil fuels’ negative and positive climate side-effects *with precision* With rising CO2 we must consider both negatives (more heatwaves) and positives (fewer cold deaths). And we must be precise, not equating *some* impact with *huge* impact. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Even though we obviously need to factor in fossil fuels’ climate mastery benefits, our designated experts totally fail to do this. E.g., the UN IPCC’s multi-thousand page reports totally omit fossil fueled climate mastery! That’s like a polio report omitting the polio vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Irrefutable principle 2: Factor in fossil fuels’ “climate mastery benefits” One huge benefit we get from fossil fuels is the ability to *master* climate danger—e.g., fossil fueled cooling, heating, irrigation—which can potentially neutralize FFs’ negative climate impacts. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Even though we obviously need to factor in fossil fuels’ benefits, not just their negative side-effects, most designated experts totally fail to do this. E.g., “expert” Michael Mann 100% ignores fossil fuels’ unique agricultural benefits in his book on fossil fuels and climate. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Irrefutable principle 1: Factor in fossil fuels’ benefits When we’re evaluating what to do about any technology we must factor in not only its negative side-effects but also its benefits. E.g., oil-powered equipment and natural gas fertilizer are crucial to feeding 8B people. — PolitiTweet.org

My 3 irrefutable principles for thinking about fossil fuels, which no opponent has ever challenged: 1. Factor in fossil fuels’ benefits 2. Factor in fossil fuels’ “climate mastery benefits” 3. Factor in fossil fuels’ negative and positive climate side-effects *with precision* — PolitiTweet.org

Why do I believe the world needs to increase fossil fuel use when so many tell us to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use? Because it follows from 3 irrefutable principles for thinking about fossil fuels that I, as a philosopher *and* energy expert, follow—and most "experts" don't. — PolitiTweet.org

The irrefutable case for a Fossil Future If we want a world in which all 8 billion of us have the opportunity to flourish—to live long, healthy, prosperous, fulfilling lives—we need to use *more*, not less, fossil fuel going forward.

“Germans, to get 37% of their electricity from solar+wind, have doubled their prices–now 3X US prices. And they can only get away with 37% because they have neighbors to bail them out when solar/wind fall short. The US as a whole has no such neighbors.” https://t.co/gq6C9R8yBX — PolitiTweet.org

I was thrilled today to get a message from one of my favorite commentators saying she had listened to my recent @spikedonline interview with Brendan O'Neill *twice*. So I started listening to the interview to see if it was *that good*. Happily it is. 😀 https://t.co/PQk87AGQhU — PolitiTweet.org
