The Immorality of Arguing That There s a Moral Case for Fossil Fuels By Marc J. Rauch Updated June 16, 2018 Marc J. Rauch In 2014, a young man named Alex Epstein - who s described as a philosopher, energy theorist, and industrial policy pundit - wrote a book titled The Moral Case For Fossil Fuels. Alex used this book to springboard to a career arguing the merits of his case on a website, magazine articles, YouTube videos and live debates. His website states that Alex will accept a debate any time, any place. (I ll get back to this challenge later on). Also, in 2014, Kathleen Hartnett White wrote a short book titled Fossil Fuels: The Moral Case.
Western policies damage Africa and the planet, kill millions, and open doors to China Joe Biden has pledged that one of his first acts as President will be rejoining the Paris Climate Treaty – which gives China a complete pass on reducing emissions until at least 2030. Even Biden’s designated “climate envoy,” former Secretary of State John Kerry, says the existing treaty “has to be stronger,” but then claims China will somehow become an active partner, instead of the competitor and adversary it clearly is. His rationale: “Climate is imperative, it’s as imperative for China as it is for us.”
China knows the world will need oil, natural gas and coal for decades to come. It sees “green” as the color of money and is happy to extend credit under terms very favorable to China. Joe Biden has pledged that one of his first acts as President will be rejoining the Paris Climate Treaty – which gives China a complete pass on reducing emissions until at least 2030. Even Biden’s designated “climate envoy,” former Secretary of State John Kerry, says the existing treaty “has to be stronger,” but then claims China will somehow become an active partner, instead of the competitor and adversary it clearly is. His rationale: “Climate is imperative, it s as imperative for China as it is for us.”

His rationale:“Climate is imperative, it s as imperative for China as it is for us.” As to China employing more Green technology and abiding by (much less strengthening) the Paris agreement, the evidence is at best spotty, at worst completely the opposite. President Trump pulled the United States out of Paris, but between January 2017 and May 2019 the US had shuttered 50 coal-fired power plants, with 51 more shutdowns announced, bringing the total shutdowns to 289 (330 once announced shutdowns also take place) since 2010, soon leaving under 200 still operating.
