In fact, we have fossil fuels to thank for the twenty-first century for being the best time in human history to be alive. Unfortunately, it's the best-kept secret in our world today.
If we really want to earn "our children's trust," we should teach them the truth instead of foisting crippling and needless anxiety on an entire generation.
Contrary to the attention-grabbing clips of forests burning and shock-inducing statistics about record-high temperatures, modern climate science suggests that warming is likely to remain mild and manageable while our resilience continues to improve. In fact, despite average global temperatures increasing about 1 Fahrenheit and our population quadrupling in the last century, climate-related disasters claim 99% fewer lives. Our resistance to severe weather events (which actually have remained consistent or even declined in recent decades) is actually growing at a faster rate than non-weather-related natural disasters like volcanoes and earthquakes. The alarmists want you to believe a changing climate is jeopardizing human lives; however, the opposite is true.
