Big Climate Brother Coming Your Way (voluntary now, mandatory later)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- October 27, 2022

“If alive today, F. A. Hayek would recognize and warn against the climate ‘road to serfdom.’ It is an evil that comes in steps, never in the whole. But the warning signs are increasing. It is time to expose and resist, politely but firmly.”

The climate crusade has no end point because it is futile. But the intellectual, political, media elite are not going to stop at failure. They will march on and on with the message that the public must sacrifice to save the earth.

Imagine a U.S. Department of Climate. Want to eat meat? Want to grill? Use a gas stove. Want to leave the lights on? No, these activities might be subject to the knock on the door in Authoritarian America. (All for the ‘common good’, of course.)…

A Typical Exchange with a Climate Alarmist/Forced Energy Transformationist

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- October 25, 2022

“The superior case for dense mineral energies economically and environmentally should inspire a rethink. And climate policy is in shambles heading into COP 27.”

“What is really fishy is that those that admit to ‘climate anxiety’ do not have any appetite to seriously entertain the case for CO2/climate optimism, aka energy freedom for the masses. And they see no evil in the eco-sins of wind, solar, and batteries….”

I actively engage in (and occasionally share) debates on LinkedIn against climate alarmists/forced energy transformationists. I sometimes feel like a teacher presenting a suite of arguments that have been cursorily dismissed. The good news is that there are a lot of readers in the middle who see what is going on. A number now join me in what is a two-sided debate at LinkedIn.…

Alex Epstein is Winning (humanism, progress = mineral energies)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- October 21, 2022

The false idea that fossil fuels’ climate impacts are an “emergency” that requires us to rapidly eliminate fossil fuels has caused an energy emergency. The “climate emergency” movement must be held accountable. The world is experiencing the worst energy crisis since the 1970s… (- Alex Epstein, October 20, 2022)

May this thinker have the last word on today’s energy and environmental debates on all media platforms. Daniel Yergin, hand the microphone to Alex Epstein at the next CERAWEEK. Energy companies, broadcast this speech live in your board rooms and employee conference rooms. It is his turn. (- RLB, below)

Energy philosopher/realist Alex Epstein (Center for Industrial Progress) might well be the leading voice in his domain today. (Robert Bryce is in the race too.) His stock is rising, while voices of climate alarm/forced energy transformation are falling.…
