IPCC’s Push To End Fossil Fuels Would Be ‘Death Knell’ For Humanity

africa poorThe AR6 Climate Change 2021 Report just released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an intergovernmental body of the United Nations, has called out a “code red for humanity“ that “must sound a death knell for…fossil fuels before they destroy our planet.”

The report from the IPCC has failed to acknowledge that the introduction of oil just over 100 years ago has been overwhelmingly beneficial for the prosperity of the world’s population growth to eight billion from about one billion that is shown clearly in their own United Nations graph.

The IPCC goal to banish fossil fuels will place most of the world’s population at risk, like the medieval times.

The members of the IPCC seem oblivious to the facts of how life was without the fossil fuels industry just 120 years ago when we had NO medications and medical equipment, NO vaccines, the same vaccines that need refrigeration, and refrigeration needs electricity, especially in the hospital sector where redundant generation capacity is a mandate.

NO water filtration systems, NO sanitation systems. NO fertilizers to help feed billions, NO pesticides to control locusts and other pests.

NO communications systems, including cell phones, computers, and iPads, NO vehicles, NO airlines that now move four billion people around the world, NO cruise ships that now move 25 million passengers around the world, NO merchant ships that are now moving billions of dollars of products monthly throughout the world, NO tires for vehicles, and NO asphalt for roads, NO militaries, and NO space program.

All the above infrastructures are made with products made from oil derivatives. Before the 1900s we had NONE of the 6,000 products from oil and petroleum products.

By ceasing oil production and fracking, the supply chain to refineries will be severed and the production of various fuels for transportation and the derivatives to make products would be terminated.

The IPCC is a religious and political organization that is systematically driven to catastrophize fossil fuels’ climate impacts and ignore fossil fuels’ benefits.

The IPCC’s predictions and prescriptions are unconscionable in that they are reflecting support for the 11 million children dying every year being experienced in poorer countries.

Those infant fatalities are from the preventable causes of diarrhea, malaria, neonatal infection, pneumonia, preterm delivery, or lack of oxygen at birth as many developing countries have no, or minimal, access to those products from oil derivatives enjoyed by the wealthy and healthy countries.

The latest report by the IPCC totally ignores the massive benefits, and by almost exclusively focusing on negative side-effects, the IPCC report totally denies the fact that fossil fuels are making the world better and better than life was before 1900, including human’s beings safer than ever from climate.

The rate of climate-related disaster deaths—deaths from extreme temperatures, droughts, wildfires, storms, and floods—has decreased by 98 percent over the last century.

Cold is a far greater danger to humans than heat–and thus, we should expect warming to save more cold-related deaths than it causes heat-related deaths. People continue to move to the Palm Springs Desert, Las Vegas, and Phoenix, but nobody is moving to Siberia.

After oil, we created various modes of transportation, a medical industry, and electronics and communications systems.

Oil reduced infant mortality, extended longevity from 40+ to more than 80+, and gave the public the ability to move anywhere in the world via planes, trains, ships, and vehicles, and virtually eliminated deaths from most diseases and from all forms of weather.

The IPCC message to abolish oil would reverse all of that “progress”.

There are now nearly eight billion of us, with most people living much longer and more prosperous lives than the one billion people who were around when coal use took off two centuries ago. Moreover, the richer we are, the greener most parts of the planet become.

Indeed, plastics and fossil fuels benefit both humanity and our environment. We are born and live surrounded by plastics and countless machines created with and powered by fossil fuels.

The IPCC is comprised of educated men and women that must surely comprehend that electricity alone, especially intermittent electricity from breezes and sunshine, has not, and will not, run the economies of the world, as electricity alone is unable to support the prolific growth rates of the medical industry, military, airlines, cruise ships, supertankers, container shipping, and trucking infrastructures to meet the demands of the exploding world population.

Getting off fossil fuels would negatively impact the following industries and infrastructures that have supported the existence of the IPCC:

  • The almost 20,000 Private jets for the elites of our world.
  • The almost 10,000 superyachts are over 24 meters in length, again for the elites of our world.
  • Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin sub-orbital spaceflight services company, for the very wealthy want-to-be astronauts.
  • Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic sub-orbital spaceflight services company, for the very wealthy want-to-be astronauts.
  • Commercial aviation, with 23,000 commercial airplanes worldwide that have been accommodating four billion passengers annually.
  • The 56,000 merchant ships burning more than 120 million gallons a day of high-sulfur bunker fuel moving products worldwide are worth billions of dollars daily.
  • The military equipment from each country consisting of aircraft carriers, battleships, destroyers, submarines, planes, tanks and armor, trucks, and troop carriers
  • The more than 300 cruise liners, each of which consumes 80,000 gallons of fuels daily, that have been accommodating more than 25 million passengers annually worldwide

The IPCC fails to recognize that at least 80 percent of humanity or more than six billion in this world are living on less than $10 a day, and billions living with little to no access to electricity.

These poor folks need abundant, affordable, reliable, scalable, and flexible electricity while the healthier and wealthier are pursuing the most expensive ways to generate “secondary” intermittent electricity from breezes and sunshine.

The future adaptation to climate changes may be challenging as the world may have difficulty supporting eight billion inhabitants without the thousands of products manufactured from oil derivatives.

Oil has provided the healthy and wealthy countries with a quality of life that the poorer and less healthy developing countries desire but ridding the world of fossil fuels will drive humanity back to medieval times and place most of the world’s population at risk.

    It don’t matter to the Eco-Freaks brought up on Paul Ehrlich and his Population Bomb Big Lie since many of these hardline Eco-Freaks want Humans to go the way of the Dodo some of the Eco-Freaks have called for the Humane Race to go Extinct

    Great Essay !
    Wish I could memorize it and pass it on to my skeptical friends, face to face, since they wouldn’t dare read the truth !
