The Problem

A site to look at the issues involved in environment and environmentalism and its impact on human life looked at from a pro-human point of view. I will be following people contributing to the discussion on these issues. Three leaders in this are Alex Epstein, Marian Tupy and Dr. Patrick Moore. 

Alex Epstein is author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels and Fossil Future and runs the Center for Industrial Progress and has a Youtube channel ImproveThePlanet. Past episodes of his podcast Power Hour are available online.

Marian Tupy is the author of Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet and Ten Global Trends Every Smart Person Should Know: And Many Others You Will Find Interesting. He has a website HumanProgress.org and is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute's Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity. He also has the Human Progress Podcast.

As a co-founder of Greenpeace, Dr. Patrick Moore is the author of Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist and Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom, and is uniquely qualified to comment on the anti-human aspects of the environmental movement. He comments extensively on leaving Greenpeace after they shifted the focus of their core philosophy from being pro-environment to explicitly anti-human. Here are couple of excellent videos on Youtube here and here.

Dr Judith Curry is author of Climate Uncertainty and Risk: Rethinking Our Response and is a climate scientist who challenges the prevailing view of CO2 and its affect son climate. Here is an interview with John Stossel. And a presentation here.

When looking at environmentalism and development there are a few people advocating for real development in poorer countries.

Magatte Wade is author of The Heart of A Cheetah: How We Have Been Lied to about African Poverty, and What That Means for Human Flourishing and is an entrepreneur and activist from Senegal who counters the anti-development policies of organizations like the UN, the WEF and the World Bank. Watch an interesting interview here.

Jusper Machogu is an advocate for energy development in Kenya and Africa in general. He has a message to COP28 and the affects of their proposed policies on Africa. Alex Epstein interviews him here. He is looking to go to university to increase his education in agricultural engineering and has a GoFundMe page. Follow him on Substack and Twitter.
