Starve, shiver to make Chris Hayes happy

Megan McArdle looks at what Chris Hayes missed - the good things that come from fossil fuel use.
So when we say that we want to leave all that fossil fuel in the ground, what we are saying is that we want everyone on the planet to be much, much poorer. Perhaps there is some metaphysical ledger where you could prove that this is the right thing to do. But here on Earth, who will volunteer to move the spouse and kids into a studio apartment and subsist on gruel?
Let Hayes live on gruel.
And see if he sticks with his opinions.
