Ed. Note: With the failing climate narrative, it’s time to play offense in energy/environmental debates. Chris Wright of Denver-based Liberty Energy Inc., previously profiled at MasterResource, drawing upon his company’s 99-page 2022 sustainability report, “Bettering Human Lives,” offers a compelling argument. [1]

“Let’s all check our desires to be fashionable or hip when we talk about energy. Energy is so critical to human well-being that we must speak honestly, candidly, and frequently to combat the increasingly damaging plague of energy ignorance that has taken over our country and much of the western world.”

Chris Wright is a member of the New School of moral-high-ground fossil-fuel executives. So is Adam Anderson, CEO of Innovex Downhole Solutions, who exposed North Face/VF Corporation’s anti-petroleum stance. Another notable is Vivek Ramaswamy, Executive Chairman, Strive Asset Management, who exhorts more oil and gas production from the companies he invests in “to both create significant shareholder value and contribute to human flourishing.”…

“For more than two decades I was in the crosshairs of climate change deniers, fossil fuel industry groups and those advocating for them – conservative politicians and media outlets.…

Ed. note: This is Part III of a three-part series on eco-terrorism heading into the new year. Part I reported on Bloomberg Green’s interview with eco-terrorist Andreas Malm. Part II reviewed Just Stop Oil’s plan for increased eco-incivility in 2023.

The eco-terrorist group Extinction Rebellion, which demands Net Zero in three years (2025), made this recent Twitter announcement:

But despite the blaring alarm on the climate and ecological emergency ringing loud and clear, very little has changed.

“The number of species affected by the growing light pollution problem is large and expanding.  Oddly enough and justly we humans have in recent years been added to that list.”

There is even a International Dark-Sky Association formed in 2001 in the cause of promoting night sky for land-based astronomy. Enter Jason Kahn, who introduces the film Saving the Dark in this article, The Ecological & Human Need for Dark Skies.…
