The Indispensable Role of Fossil Fuels in Modern Civilization

In a world increasingly obsessed with rushed net-zero targets and unreliable renewables, we’re proud to share our latest episode of Climate Chronicles: Fossil Fuels.


This engaging, fact-filled video powerfully explains why coal, oil, and natural gas remain essential to human prosperity.


Far from being dirty relics of the past, fossil fuels are nature’s ultimate solar-powered batteries — storing millions of years of concentrated solar energy in an incredibly dense, reliable, and affordable form. No other energy source matches their energy density or delivers dependable baseload power with such minimal land use, except for nuclear energy.


As artificial intelligence, data centers, and global energy demand surge, we simply cannot afford to abandon the fuels that built modern civilization. This Climate Chronicles episode makes it clear: fossil fuels are not going away — nor should they. They continue to lift billions out of poverty, extend lifespans, drive technological innovation, and support the very progress alarmists often take for granted.


At the CO₂ Coalition, we’re committed to telling the full story with scientific clarity. Additional CO₂ has helped green the planet, while fossil fuels have delivered unprecedented human flourishing. Our Climate Chronicles series was created to counter alarmist narratives with straightforward truths that too often get ignored.


Whether you’re a policymaker, energy professional, educator, student, or concerned citizen who values evidence over hype, I encourage you to watch this short video and share it widely. It is concise, visually compelling, and packed with perspective-shifting facts.


Realism matters now more than ever. Understanding the true value of our most practical and abundant energy sources is critical as we navigate the energy challenges ahead.

We are Defending CO2 in Court

and We Need Your Help

The Coalition’s March 20th motion to intervene in the EPA's repeal of the so-called Endangerment Finding is a response to environmental organizations and several states that filed legal challenges to the EPA repeal, which was announced in February. The agency had concluded that it did not have authority under the federal Clean Air Act to regulate carbon dioxide.


The CO2 Coalition has decided to take aggressive action and use the legal system to fight the economically destructive policies that threaten you and your family.


This is our mission, but the expense of the battle has created a significant budget deficit. Your contribution would help defray these costs. We need you to join us in this effort today.
