“Psychedelics for Climate Action” (Tripping in Church of Climate)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- August 7, 2024

“Personally, when I take mushrooms, the last thing I want to do is think about climate change. But that’s apparently what I should be doing, according to … Psychedelics for Climate Action.” (Emily Atkin, Heated)

At the anti-fossil-fuel Substack Heated, Emily Atkin outdid herself. “I fell down the rabbit hole of Psychedelics for Climate Action,” she confessed. “Then I came back to reality.” She continued:

Personally, when I take mushrooms, the last thing I want to do is think about climate change. 

But that’s apparently what I should be doing, according to a new advocacy group. Psychedelics for Climate Action, or PSYCA, argues that the use of mind-altering substances and Indigenous plant medicines—like ayahuasca, psilocybin, ibogaine, ketamine, and LSD—can inspire people to help solve the climate crisis. 

DeSmog “Climate Disinformation” Database: Nominate Yourself!

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- August 1, 2024

Are you profiled in the DeSmog database? Please consider nominating yourself with a message (per their invitation). Please provide quotations about your views about climate alarmism and forced energy transformation. Describe the anti-economic, anti-ecological features of wind, solar, and batteries. And explain why your views are part of the great debate. (DeSmog’s categories are Stance on Climate Change, Key Quotes, and Key Deeds.)

Their database is nearing one thousand (!). With hundreds more profiles, what began as a “disinformer” expose becomes an impressive listing of go-to professionals for the open-minded. So much for the “science is settled” and “the experts tell us” arguments.

The economy and the environment need your voice to help save both from Big Environmentalism and the Climate Industrial Complex. Submit your nomination, proudly, here.…

Project 2025: Environmental Policy

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- July 30, 2024

“A more conservative EPA … will prevent unnecessary expenditures by the regulated community [and] … deliver savings to the American taxpayer. Improved transparency will serve as an important check … [to] deliver tangible environmental improvements to the American people in the form of cleaner air, cleaner water, and healthier soils.” ( – Heritage Foundation, Project 2025)

Last week’s post examined the energy section of the Heritage Foundation’s 922-page Mandate for Leadership: 2025. This post reproduces the environmental section of the same document (1,200 words) calling for a return to the basics of clean air and water–and away from the cancer of climate policy as ecological.

As explained below, EPA needs to prioritize achievable, definable environmental improvement, not engage in wasteful, futile climatism and forced energy transformation.

The challenge of creating a conservative EPA will be to balance justified skepticism toward an agency that has long been amenable to being co-opted by the Left for political ends against the need to implement the agency’s true function: protecting public health and the environment in cooperation with states.…
