I recently picked up The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels and what a ride so far.

Here's a passage from early on that struck me:

"Pessimistic predictions often assume that our environment is perfect until humans mess it up; they don't consider the possibility that we could improve our environment. But the data of the last forty years indicate that we have been doing exactly that – using fossil fuels."

I'm sure there will be the usual calls that he is a shill for "big oil". But read the book and the data for yourself. Then let me know how you feel about it.

There is a moral case for fossil fuels.
