On Tuesday, January 29, 2019, I was invited to speak with Peter Vicenzi of FreedomWorks on their Facebook live stream, with approximately 12,000 viewers as of writing this. We talked about a number of subjects, including CFACT’s recent efforts and our message that humanity is a net positive for the planet, not a problem to manage.

Since before humanity walked the Earth, innumerable species have gone extinct. But thanks to human ingenuity, we are helping preserve endangered species. I mentioned the scimitar-horned oryx, which is a type of antelope that is extinct in the wild. They are thriving, however, on game ranches in Texas. There hunters pay big money for a chance to hunt the oryx, and that funding is used to help eventually reintroduce these animals back into the wild. Hunting, when managed effectively, actually helps preserve and rescue animals, not destroy them.
