Much of the world was optimistic after a peace deal ended months of conflict in the Middle East that had disrupted the global oil trade. But peace in that region has long been a tenuous matter, and how long it lasts is anybody’s guess. Nonetheless, there are other reasons for optimism that are not subject to the vagaries of geopolitics.
For the past two decades, the media have reported a “climate crisis” with a conviction that presumed dissent to be insane if not immoral. Yet, the very atmospheric changes over which reporters hyperventilated about impending doom are in fact delivering measurable benefits.
History and evidence ignored
For most of human existence, weather ruled daily life. A cold winter or a run of bad harvests could wipe out an entire village. Infectious disease swept through communities unchecked. There were no vaccines, no antibiotics, and very limited capacity to move food and resources over long distances. Access to energy was limited to muscle, wood, and a bit of wind or water power. Life expectancy in many regions hovered around 30 years.
