Alex Epstein, author of "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels" and the founder and President of the Center for Industrial Progress, discusses with Aaron the meaning of the term “Climate Change” from a controversial perspective. Epstein challenges the validity of climate prediction models and posits the benefits of Climate Change on a distributional basis versus those who focus only on the negative effects. Other topics covered in the fast-paced program include the proper role of government, human rights violations, and human consumption of resources --- with an historical focus on what the benefits of relatively inexpensive energy resources have been and will be versus the costs of using those resources. Epstein also uniquely emphasizes the relationship between energy and freedom from a cost-benefit perspective.
