Nothing to Fear: A Bright Future for Fossil Fuels by Donn Dears

Challenge the Climate Narrative with This Thought-Provoking Read Excellent near new condition. Nothing to Fear explains why mankind has the ability to withstand nearly everything mother nature may throw at it, so long as mankind doesn t institute policies that cripple its ability to respond to potential threats.

The terrible conditions that plagued mankind in the past, when it lacked the energy to protect itself, included famines, starvation, death from freezing cold, and death from diseases that are now largely under control. Recently, policies have been implemented that undermine mankind's ability to withstand threats Mother Nature may thrust upon it. These policies have been instituted as the result of an unreasonable fear of carbon dioxide, an invisible harmless gas released when fossil fuels are burned, and an unjustified terror of climate change. Unreasonable fear and unjustified terror were phrases used by president Roosevelt in his inaugural address to highlight that fear itself is a threat. Today, we face a threat conjured up from questionable science that uses fear to promote policies that undermine mankind s ability to react to events. These policies are failing, and more importantly, crippling our ability to fend off any problem that might result from changes in our natural world, whether it be higher temperatures, colder temperatures, drought or sea level rise. The fact is, fossil fuels provide the affordable and reliable energy needed to protect mankind from Mother Nature s whims. Nothing to Fear explores the flawed science behind the social movement that blames humans for global warming and climate change. Discrepancies with the science are discussed in Chapter 4, and the status of ...
