My speech to a group of America's Attorneys General on how almost everyone has accepted anti-human ideas on energy and environmental issues—and how to reverse this.
Our 'framework' can also be called our 'worldview'. As a bible-believer, my worldview on the environment starts right out with the affirmation of life - "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth", and controlling the environment in a good way, because God created it, and said it was 'good' - "...fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth". Plant life, too, is to be cared for - [God] "...took the man and put him into the garden to cultivate it and keep it."
I was surprised by your point that drought is even more deadly than cold - surprised because I hadn't thought of it before. And as you say, both drought and cold are improved by energy - wells, pumps, filtration, and heating.
Past time for an aqueduct from the Missouri River near Kansas City to Central Texas...
600 miles with a 300 ft. elevation drop.
Actually, past time for the USA to end its reluctance to build things (end zero human impact thinking) and build a network of aqueducts to move our abundant freshwater to anywhere it is needed.

Another excellent and profound presentation. Thanks for sharing.
