Sometimes
we need to take the long look so that what appears to be a confusing
world around us makes sense. In this instance, we go to Alex Epstein,
founder of the Center for Industrial Progress, who just this year wrote "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels."
"In the last 80 years, as CO2 emissions have most rapidly escalated, the annual rate of climate-related deaths worldwide fell by an incredible 98%. This means the incidence of death from climate is 50 times lower than it was 80 years ago," writes Epstein.
"Once again, the leading experts we were told to rely on were 100% wrong. It's not that they predicted disaster and got half a disaster — it's that they predicted disaster and got dramatic improvement."
And yet again, we find that trusting the "leading experts" on global warming and climate change is a mistake. Trust the data, trust the evidence, trust reality — but be skeptical of experts who have a political agenda.
