What to know: Just a reminder, we should all be dead now—according to Earth Day predictions. For example, Paul Ehrlich claimed on the first Earth Day in 1970 that between 1980 and 1989, about 4 billion people would perish in the “Great Die-Off.”
The TPPF take: Climate alarmism is now a part of Earth Day festivities.
“No matter how shrill the climate cartel cries that the end is near, the American public just isn’t willing to sacrifice the benefits of affordable, reliable energy — which only fossil fuels can provide,” says TPPF’s Jason Isaac. “They see through the disinformation the climate cartel is spreading. Not only is the human race nowhere near the brink of extinction, but our lives and our environment are better than ever before.”

What to know: At Iowa State University, students can have “Conversations with the Earth,” and listen to performances including one student who will “read eco-poetry about caves and underground narratives.”
The TPPF take: College students rarely get all the facts about climate change and fossil fuels. When they do, they’re often relieved.
“America has cut harmful air pollution by 78% in the last five decades because of our innovative and efficient use of energy resources—not in spite of it,” says TPPF’s Brent Bennett. “As a result, we are world leaders for clean air, and we are No. 1 for access to clean and safe drinking water. Far from being anxious and stressed, young people should be proud of this country’s achievements and be inspired to build upon those successes.”

Here’s the Real Danger
What to know: Energy poverty is on the rise—even in the developed world.
The TPPF take: Energy poverty is the real threat to human flourishing.
“The push for green energy by Western elites raises critical questions about its applicability for developing countries like Kenya,” says TPPF’s Chuck DeVore. “They need affordable, reliable, and abundant energy now—not a few token green energy projects, designed more to assuage Western environmental consciousnesses than to address urgent requirements.”
