From a student at OU requesting a copy of Fossil Future:

“I am a student pursuing a career in Oil and Gas and want to learn as much as I can about the importance of a fossil future.”

To help prevent genuine human catastrophe “from happening, I recommend reading Fossil Future and considering its arguments and proposed path forward.”

“Myth: Without gov't EV prefs, we lose out on potential EV benefits such as low maintenance costs, lower overall costs, and lower urban air pollution.

Truth: EV freedom allows us to take advantage of any real EV benefits as and when they arise at scale.”

Climate warming is concentrated in colder areas of the world (such as the Arctic), during colder times of day, and during colder seasons.

This means that future warming will occur more in cold situations where it saves lives than in hot situations where it causes problems.

“Extreme UN sea level rise projections are just 3 feet in 100 years. Future generations can master that. (We already have 100 million people living below high-tide sea level.)”

Even the most wildly implausible “scenarios” from the anti-fossil-fuel IPCC include diminishing warming and a highly livable world with an increasing population.

The warming impact of CO2 diminishes (“logarithmically”) as it increases in concentration.

Every new molecule of CO2 we add to the atmosphere has less of a warming effect than the previous one. Warming will diminish as emissions increase—the only question is at what rate.

Warming so far has been slow and benign. But will future warming make the world unlivably hot?

No, given 2 facts almost universally acknowledged by climate scientists: 1) the diminishing warming impact of CO2, and 2) the concentration of warming in colder places.

For some true perspective on heat waves, look at the US Annual Heat Wave Index from the EPA, which says “Longer-term records show that heat waves in the 1930s remain the most severe in recorded U.S. history.”

Today's “reporting” would give you no indication this is the case.

“If companies ‘disclose’ government-favored catastrophist opinions, they can feel relatively safe—even if those opinions turn out to be false and lead to destructive actions.”

The “treating local extremes as global” deception

Given the slow pace of global warming, local temperature changes tend to be much larger than global ones. To scare us, catastrophists take the hottest local temps and portray them as global so we think everywhere is very hot.

The “hottest ever” deception

Climate catastrophists often absurdly equate a month or year being “the hottest on record”—which refers to the fewer than 200 years we have detailed temp records—with being “the hottest ever.”

Even though Earth was 25°F warmer for millions of years!

“Government should eliminate all special preferences and all special punishments for carbon capture. This will allow innovators to explore the field’s potential for profitability and scalability—at no taxpayer expense.”

Given our limited temperature records, alarming us about a “hottest year on record” during a slow warming period is like a doctor alarming a patient who gains 1/10th of a pound of muscle that it’s his “heaviest year on record.”

The “hottest on record” deception

We hear constant alarming-sounding claims that we are in or near “the hottest year on record.”

But given that records began at a cold time and we’re experiencing slow warming, of course any given year we can expect a new record. So what?
