Hypothetically, if the drug treatment did add 35 percent to the lifespan of humans, it would
bring average life expectancy to between 95 and 100 years.
Demographers have shown that, based on historical trends, it is plausible to project an
average life expectancy of 100 even if we don't lift a finger specifically to
bring about that result.
If one compares the quality of
life, standard of
living and
average life expectancy at birth of those of us who are fortunate to
live in nations that have profited from this access with those poor, unfortunate souls in the nations that have not done so, it is clear that inexpensive energy from low - cost fossil fuels have
brought us far more benefits than the damage, which climate models could imagine for the future, even in the worst CAGW incarnation.
