Human population supplies the labor necessary for the creation of wealth; carbon supplies the matter and energy.

The relationship between carbon consumption and human well-being is causal, not coincidental.

Carbon is the stuff of life, and it's the stuff of everything used by human society. All of our materials are made of carbon or of substances, such as steel or glass, which are produced through the utilization of carbon.

In the wake of the disaster caused by Tropical Storm Sandy, various allies of the Obama campaign have rushed to claim that the event was caused by anthropogenic global warming, thereby justifying the president's program of crushing the economy with regressive carbon taxes, a supposedly necessary measure to prevent future bad weather.

Energy powers our economy, both literally and figuratively.

At first, I am giving energy to the creation, but later the creation seems to be giving energy to me.
