Media Myth: Fossil fuels are making Texas, the fossil fuel capital, more vulnerable to extreme heat.

Truth: Fossil fuels have actually made Texas safer from climate risks, including heat and the far more deadly cold. Unfortunately, anti-fossil-fuel policies are undermining this progress.

A recent Wall Street Journal article claims Texas is increasingly threatened by fossil-fueled climate warming, citing an additional 200 heat-related deaths. However, this narrative ignores the broader decline in overall climate-related deaths, which fossil fuels have significantly helped reduce.

To understand the true impact of fossil fuels on climate danger, we must consider the overall trend—and fossil fuels’ role in that trend. Globally and in Texas, the data is clear: climate danger is at an all-time low, largely due to the benefits of fossil fuels.

Over the past century, the global rate of climate-related disaster deaths has plummeted by 98%, thanks to affordable, reliable energy from fossil fuels. This energy powers air conditioning to combat heat, heating to fend off cold, irrigation to fight drought, and storm warning systems to prepare for extreme weather.
