We’re not sure that Bloomberg, in the article referenced below and here, nor most of its readers, recognise this, but when positives outweigh negatives it kinda means….. well, let’s just say that that’s the definition of a net positive situation….
Regardless of their real, ulterior motive of essentially criticizing capitalism and the profit motive, the equation is there for all to see.
Using fossil fuels is a net positive for humanity… So continue using the with no restrictions and humanity will be better off – the logic is undeniable… Conversely, if you restrict them you reduce the positives and the net result is negative…
And, ultimately, the positives are far greater than what any alarmists, whose lives and wealth and education have been solidly built on fossil fuel usage and profits over centuries, will ever give credit for.
Hmmm, it really makes you wonder…
