Energy Secretary Says ‘Climate Change’ Isn’t Even The Top 5 Or 10 Problems In The World

Regardless of whether (sic) we’re talking a warming world caused mostly/solely by Mankind, mostly/solely by nature, or a mixture, it’s not that big of an issue. Sure, weather is ALWAYS a concern, and if you ask local news folks they will tell you it is the number one thing for local news, but, it isn’t a problem. Globally? Nah.

Global warming is ‘nowhere close to the world’s top 5 or 10 problems,’ Energy secretary says
U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright wants Americans to drop “doomster” views around energy, since, he said, the country is entering “a golden era” of energy. That includes leaving behind a history of fear to further hydrocarbon developments.
Global warming is a real thing, Wright said during a visit to Utah, “but it’s no big deal.”

I’ll say again and again that it is mostly natural, but, Mankind does cause maybe 15-25%, mostly land use, urban heat island effect, agriculture, and landfills. Not greenhouse gases from Mankind

“It’s nowhere close to the world’s top five or 10 problems. But it became this other mantra to preach fear and scarcity,” Wright said during the Operation Gigawatt Summit, an event hosted by Utah Gov. Spencer Cox and the Abundance Institute.
Wright added that future energy opportunities should outweigh young people’s pessimistic views, which is “a misrepresentation of what we know about climate change and economics.”
“Look at history, look at the opportunities in front of us. There’s never been a better time to be alive. The future is going to be awesome if we believe it’s going to be awesome, and we make it to be awesome,” he said.
Utah, for one, should be optimistic about its energy future, since the state will host one of the first nuclear reactors to go critical, or to maintain a steady, balanced chain reaction, this summer.

Too bad he didn’t name those issues, but, his focus was on nuclear and that reactor

Republicans in Washington, D.C., and Utah have touted nuclear energy as one clean resource that could tackle exploding energy needs — apart from fossil fuels, which continue to be popular with party leaders. President Donald Trump has signed executive orders to accelerate nuclear energy development throughout the country, and in Utah, Cox has been closely aligned with that mission.
“Younger generations who understand that if we truly want to decarbonize, if we want cleaner energy, more prosperous energy, we want dispatchable energy, reliable energy, and cheaper energy, that nuclear has to be part of that mix,” Cox told reporters on Friday.

We need to be building Gen 6 and creating Gen 7 nuclear. Even hyper-Warmist Michael Mann, among others, agrees, but, so many of the climate cult member are irrationally against it. We should force them all to live only on wind and solar, see how they enjoy it.
