          They used to employ a lot of dodgy experts back in the olden days.

                Today's discussion of climate and energy policy is dominated by two overarching claims.

                First, fossil fuels are causing catastrophic climate change that threatens the very existence of the planet. And, second, renewable forms of energy—particularly wind and solar—can easily replace oil, coal, and gas.

                In his new book Fossil Future, Alex Epstein argues that neither of these statements is accurate. He notes that the number of people around the globe dying from climate-related events has plummeted by 98 percent over the past century and that wind and solar comprise just 3 percent of current global energy use. An immediate shift to renewables, he argues, would consign billions to poverty or death in order to stave off the impact of man-made climate change, the consequences of which have often been exaggerated and with which humans are equipped to deal.
                An interesting discussion for those who appreciate the role of different viewpoints when trying to understand complex issues.

                  I guess we'd just adapt our energy policy? Pretty simple solution.

                    No guessing required. Our energy policy is currently being adapted with the swift removal all fossil fuels, even if it has a catastrophic effect on peoples lives, so yes it's a pretty simple solution.

                        How is it having this effect on people's lives?

                        I'd argue climate change would be 100x worse than your worse case scenario.

                          No need to argue, just follow the timeline and see where we end up.
