If we start to switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy – there will be less pollution, jobs will be created in a NEW field, aquifers will not be put at risk because of transporting filthy shale oil, we won’t get more earthquakes in Oklahoma from fracking, Russia and Saudi Arabia will lose revenue, the U.S. can stop the ridiculous subsidies that have existed since oil was a “new industry”, mountaintops won’t be removed for coal, etc.
So even if you want to stick your head in the sand, and ignore REAL experts because “Al Gore was wrong” tell me what is gained by continuing with fossil fuels.
Progressives actually want progress, too many conservatives don’t want to actually conserve anything, they are really regressives that believe in a past that never really existed for the average person,
Yet, abother: In 1967, a best-selling book came out called “Famine 1975! America’s Decision: Who Will Survive?”It predicted mass starvation around the developing world due to increasing population. “Today’s crisis can move in only one direction – toward catastrophe,” it warned.Some experts praised the book and ridiculed doubters.“All serious students of the plight of the underdeveloped nations agree that famine… is inevitable,” Cal Tech biology professor Peter Bonner wrote in a 1967 review of the book in the prestigious journal Science.The exact opposite of the book’s prediction happened. Famine deaths plunged dramatically as farming technology improved, communist countries began allowing private property again, and the globe became further connected.According to a dataset put together by Our World in Data, more people died of famine in the single decade prior to the book’s release than in all 52 years since it was published.Yet the book got widespread praise from experts. Ecologist Paul Ehrlich, now President of the Center for Conservation Biology at Stanford University, said in 1968 that the book “may be remembered as one of the most important books of our age.”
