Policymakers should explicitly reject policies that significantly raise food and energy prices, directly or indirectly. Republicans and Democrats alike should affirm their commitment to human flourishing and prosperity, both of which depend on cheap food and energy.

Activist journalist Alex Kasprak (above) didn’t read Apocalypse Never, didn’t understand it, or chose to deliberately misrepresent it.

American energy policy should be oriented toward global competitiveness and even “dominance,” not just improved health outcomes. Such a plan would seek to replace the natural gas burned domestically with nuclear energy, and to increase the export of natural gas abroad. Such a policy would also support the health and climate goals of using natural gas rather than coal.

In the end, as I argue in the last chapter of Apocalypse Never, Malthusian scientists, activists, and journalists are lost souls seeking false gods. They are individuals in the grip of religion without knowing it.

I know you agree that Americans are stronger when we listen to ideas we don’t agree with, and openly debate them. We are weaker when we demonize people and deny them the chance to defend their ideas.

On January 6, 2020, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) invited Michael Shellenberger to become an Expert Reviewer of its Sixth Assessment Report.

An organization calling itself “Climate Feedback” is falsely claiming that humankind is causing a “Sixth Mass Extinction” and unscientifically confuses “disasters” with weather events.

I am writing to inform you that Facebook has inappropriately censored a scientifically accurate article that I wrote and Zero Hedge, Quillette, Environmental Progress, and other web sites reprinted.

On behalf of environmentalists everywhere, I would like to formally apologize for the climate scare we created over the last 30 years. Climate change is happening. It’s just not the end of the world. It’s not even our most serious environmental problem.

Apocalypse Never contains chapters on climate change, deforestation, species extinction, plastic waste, meat, nuclear, renewables, fossil fuels, poverty, and much more. It is the culmination of more than 30 years of research, writing, and advocacy on environmental issues.

INTERVIEW BY MICHAEL SHELLENBERGER WITH INGER ANDERSEN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, UNITED NATIONS ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM

I changed my mind about nuclear energy after experiencing the limitations of renewables and learning the facts, including from two of my idols, the climate scientist James Hansen and Whole Earth Catalog founder Stewart Brand, who over 10 years ago declared that we needed nuclear energy to prevent global warming.
