You hit the nail on the head when you brought up Alex Epstein: he is the best source for rational climate/energy information I know. Here are a few steps you should take if you want to get educated in that realm:
-Read his columns in Forbes (and follow him so you get notified of new articles when they're posted). The best one that's most about "climate change" per se is the recent piece The Unscientific Consensus.
-Absorb everything on his site Center for Industrial Progress. There are podcasts, blog posts, e-books, and more. You might be particularly interested in the "Environment" category and the Fossil Fuels Improve the Planet e-book.
-Pre-order a copy of his upcoming book The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels. It's guaranteed to be awesome.
-If you're on Facebook, like the Center for Industrial Progress, I Love Fossil Fuels, and I Love Nuclear pages to keep updated.
-This page on The Objective Standard site ("Exploit the Earth or Die. It's not a threat. It's a fact.") also does a great job of compiling links to more educational resources.
I hope this wasn't too overwhelming. If you're just looking for one quick hit, your best bet is the Unscientific Consensus article I mentioned before. (But IMHO, it's so good that you'll be hooked on Alex's clarity and authority and want to continue with all the other steps I mentioned :).)
This is a great place to ask. Fortunately a recent book on this topic has been written by a pair of Objectivists. https://www.amazon.com/Equal-Unfair-Americas-Misguided-Inequality/dp/125008444X
You could also pose the opposite question to yourself. What is the downside of some people becoming richer at a faster rate than others? Why would this be a problem? And for whom?
For 1, although I have not read this book myself, I do believe it might be useful even just the synopsis https://www.amazon.com/Illusion-Determinism-Free-Will-Causal/dp/1543914225
What you're asking for here is a general theory of induction. Miss Rand didn't provide a full theory of induction, but David Harriman, under the guidance of Leonard Peikoff, did provide an account of induction in physics in The Logical Leap.
