Why ‘Feel Good’ Climate Activism? - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sam Belfied in his essay, “Climate Activism: ‘It Made Me Feel Like a Good Person’” (August 19, 2026), has a number of interesting insights on the motivations of climate campaigners given the intellectual case that their cause is both futile and wasteful. And ecologically damaging (think wind and solar industrialization). Excerpts follow verbatim; footnotes can be found in the original. The following commentary and research findings suggest that climate ideology and activism are psychological com

The Department of Energy's rule on home cooking appliances goes back to the agency. That is the easy part. The interesting part is who was defending the rule, and what that same department was doing across town while it did. First, let me take some air out of the balloon.

“If your ironclad proof that Big Oil secretly knew their products cause global warming is a leaked industry memo … why would you alter it to make it look more plausible?” - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The pushers of climate litigation lawfare keep bizarrely paying out enough rope to hang themselves. The latest instance over the span of just the last eight weeks comes courtesy of the Public Citizen liberal climate policy advocacy group …. and they basically nail themselves to the wall along with every other major promulgator who is enslaved to the never-implemented “reposition global warming as theory” ‘leaked industry memo.’ From my most recent periodic internet search for the notorious “repo
