| Energy Realism last week focused on the criticality of balancing climate concerns with understanding the benefits of fossil fuels. Frank Lasee got us started last week. It really is our most obvious thing: fossil fuels meet over 80% of our energy needs, so our ongoing support of them here in American is non-negotiable. And this holds true even more so for the world’s still developing countries, where poor citizens surely cannot afford the high cost and less reliability of “green” wind and solar. Duggan Flanakin takes a look at Africa Energy week. For a continent loaded with huge amounts of natural resources of oil and gas, fossil fuel development is not just key to economic growth, but human health and development. Indeed, we simply must better balance considering the problems of a changing climate versus the benefits of using and developing fossil fuels. Jonathan Lesser explains the evidence: climate activists, for instance, are overexaggerating the climate science behind “worsening hurricanes.” Sixty years ago, a journalist named Darrell Huff wrote a short, humorous book titled “How to Lie with Statistics,” which presented a litany of statistical techniques that could be – and still are – used to distort reality. He may not have foreseen attribution science, but he would surely smile at its use today. In the News Nick Loris, Robert G.
