Making energy more expensive is going to kill people today.

Continuing carbon emissions is going to kill more people in the future.

No it's not and you have not a single scientifically demonstrated foundation for that kind of claims.

Using fossil fuels is saving more lives, in fact it's making it possible for billions of people to live today. That wouldn't be possible without fossil fuels. In fact most of us wouldn't be here.

There's pretty clear scientific consensus that climate change will result in more hurricanes, wildfires, heat waves, cold spells, floods, droughts and especially that there will be shortages of clean water and land suitable for agriculture. All of those things kill humans.

And everyone, everything would be better off.

How so? Please be explicit.

If the cost of fuel for your emergency generators results in people dying, you have much bigger issues.

Besides, the cost could be born by others similar to how we have duty-free fuel here for farm equipment and similar.
