Since 1850, burning of fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas has increased 100 times to produce energy as the world has industrialized to serve the world's more than 6 billion and growing population.

The scientists who do climate research understand that much of the ever increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere since 1850 must be attributed to burning those fossil fuels to produce the energy that drives industrialization.

It's as certain that as long as fossil fuels are the cheapest energy, we will just keep burning them.

Natural gas is a dirty fossil fuel like the rest of them.

Nothing could do more to help the world's poor than to make fossil fuels cheap and plentiful.

Practically every environmental problem we have can be traced to our addiction to fossil fuels, primarily oil.
