‘Masculinity and the Metacrisis’ (going weird on climate)
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 28, 2026“… both genders have an equal stake in human betterment and win by using the best energies. Climate change is not the end-of-the-world but can be anticipated and adapted to in economic and political freedom, not Statism. Common sense 101 will prevail over the climate fringe.”
Climate messaging is in crisis–and getting stranger and stranger. The fringe will not give up, and their interpretation of the ‘problem’ is going off the rails.
Today (May 28), DeSmog, Centre for Climate Psychology, and Resonant Man are hosting a virtual discussion on “Masculinity and the Metacrisis.” Geoff Dembicki, global managing editor at DeSmog, reports:
…The rise of the ‘Manosphere.’ The Epstein files. Attacks on women’s rights under the Trump administration. Given so many high-profile examples of men’s abuses of power, it’s no wonder many men are questioning the meaning of masculinity in this current political moment. And
Memorial Day Weekend! (Motoring to summer ’26)
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 22, 2026Get happy. Summer beckons. Not only hike and bike but drive to a better environment–your self-selected one. And once there, grill, baby, grill.

The old Marathon ads said it best …a full tank of freedom. And Shell: “Let’s Go!” And Exxon: “Happy Motoring!”
Don’t worry about the anti-travel crowd who fret about emissions of the trace greening gas, carbon dioxide. Forget the spin and go for a spin!
Each year, MasterResource celebrates the beginning of the peak-driving season knowing that our free-market philosophy is about energy abundance and affordability and reliability. There is so little to apologize for. When is the last time you got a bad tank of gasoline or diesel, anyway?…
‘Climate Hushing’: Pragmatism Demoting Exaggeration (McKibben fools himself)
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 19, 2026“There’s a thing out there called a ‘climate husher.’ Anyone who cares about what fossil fuel pollution is doing to Earth’s natural systems needs to ignore these so-called ‘climate hushers’ – people who think Dems should stop talking about climate.” – Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.)
Climate messaging is a mess as the Progressive Left tries to square the energy circle with affordability. Traditional messages have flunked. Complained one activist:
Maybe the problem isn’t climate denial. Maybe it’s climate messaging. We’ve been attempting to scare or shame people into caring, and it’s not effective. Is it time to completely rethink how we talk about climate and sustainability? We’ve spent years trying to influence people through fear, data, and moral urgency. The results? Mixed.
The latest despair comes from Bill McKibben in his Earth Day post, Let’s TALK Climate.…
