We’re supposed to be in a climate crisis. And we are. But not in the way you think. Alex Epstein, the author of Fossil Future, explains the real crisis and what we can do to get out of it.
The world faces a serious crisis, one that will ruin whole economies and lead to needless suffering and death.
The crisis is related to climate change, but not in the way you’re probably thinking.
It’s the global energy crisis—a man-made crisis created by climate change policies.
These policies have led to a shortage of fossil fuels—oil, coal, and natural gas, the fuels that provide over 80% of the world’s energy.
A shortage of anything leads to higher prices.
That’s just basic economics. Fossil fuel shortages have led to higher energy prices.
And because the energy industry powers every other industry, this has led to higher prices of almost everything, everywhere.
