Email of the day - on European energy prices

This is by Benny Peiser who is the director of the GWPF. Some bold warnings about Europe's decline fuelled by its high energy prices.

Eoin Treacy's view

Outsized economic growth and the higher standards of living it delivers is the single best way of creating concern for lower emissions, a cleaner environment and creating greater efficiencies. We have plenty of empirical evidence that this is the case and yet it is still a hard sell for many politicians. The concentration of the argument on climate change is probably at the root of this problem. Instead we should be thinking about improving the human condition not as the problem but as the solution.
