Michael Schellenberger admits the truth and what many of us have been saying for years about man's impact on the planet.
Here are some facts few people know:
-
Humans are not causing a “sixth mass extinction”
-
The Amazon is not “the lungs of the world”
-
Climate change is not making natural disasters worse
-
Fires have declined 25% around the world since 2003
-
The amount of land we use for meat — humankind’s biggest use of land — has declined by an area nearly as large as Alaska
-
The build-up of wood fuel and more houses near forests, not climate change, explain why there are more, and more dangerous, fires in Australia and California
-
Carbon emissions are declining in most rich nations and have been declining in Britain, Germany, and France since the mid-1970s
-
Netherlands became rich not poor while adapting to life below sea level
-
We produce 25% more food than we need and food surpluses will continue to rise as the world gets hotter
-
Habitat loss and the direct killing of wild animals are bigger threats to species than climate change
-
Wood fuel is far worse for people and wildlife than fossil fuels
-
Preventing future pandemics requires more not less “industrial” agriculture
Add to that some further observations followed by his apology for lying over the last 20 years, which I accept.
-
Factories and modern farming are the keys to human liberation and environmental progress
-
The most important thing for saving the environment is producing more food, particularly meat, on less land
-
The most important thing for reducing air pollution and carbon emissions is moving from wood to coal to petroleum to natural gas to uranium
-
100% renewables would require increasing the land used for energy from today’s 0.5% to 50%
-
We should want cities, farms, and power plants to have higher, not lower, power densities
-
Vegetarianism reduces one’s emissions by less than 4%
-
Greenpeace didn’t save the whales, switching from whale oil to petroleum and palm oil did
-
“Free-range” beef would require 20 times more land and produce 300% more emissions
-
Greenpeace dogmatism worsened forest fragmentation of the Amazon
-
The colonialist approach to gorilla conservation in the Congo produced a backlash that may have resulted in the killing of 250 elephants
