Have a happy and heated Halloween, made possible by American energy producers.
Institute for Energy Research (10/31/25) blog: "Halloween, scares galore, can be considered Neo-Malthusian Day. Maybe April Fools’ Day, too, if you count the half-century-old errant predictions of doomsday, including climate change, which President Biden’s teleprompter said was an 'existential threat to all of us.' Anti-humanistic agendas, power-seeking, money-making, and speculative modeling are responsible for the exaggeration, the alarm, that trumps sober reality. Despite the vast statistics on human betterment — both in the growing number of lives and the quality of life — the Monsters of Doom are not dissuaded. In 'Underestimating the Challenges of Avoiding a Ghastly Future' (2021), for example, Paul Ehrlich et al. doubled down, claiming that negative environmental trends 'will be much more dangerous than currently believed,' so much so that 'It is difficult to grasp for even well-informed experts.' Experts? How about Expert Failure? With a wounded climate movement meeting in two weeks in Brazil for the UN Conference of Parties (COP 30), expect ever more shrill statements about Climate Armageddon. Fear not. A simple review of quotations from climate leading voices then and now is just a trick-or-treat moment...Halloween is for fear mongers. Let every other day be for economic and political freedom from an intellectual/political elite that aims to control the rest of us. May the future belong to human ingenuity for human betterment in freedom, not to haunted thoughts of a soulless march on the road to serfdom."
