Betsy “Code Green” Rosenberg: Emotional Climatism

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- September 3, 2026

Rob Bradley the freedom to lie about our very real #climateemergency should be outlawed for crimes against nature- aka ecocide—as well as crimes against humanity.” (Rosenberg to Bradley. August 31, 2026)

“Please She/Her Rosenberg. Don’t assume, debate. Don’t pretend, research. Check the emotions and politics at the door and open your mind. There is good news about climate and energy if you are suffering from ‘climate anxiety’.” (below)

“It is a classic notion on the left in general, and of environmentalist zealots in particular,” noted Thomas Sowell, “that no one can disagree with them unless they are either uniformed or dishonest.” A salient example of this came with comments to a social media post by Laura Clarke, CEO of Client Earth, who wrote:

Climate Majority Project: Scientists “Freaking Out”

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- September 2, 2026

“BLM is proposing to shift the state bonding minimums back to what they were prior to 2024, consistent with the White House’s intent to reduce regulatory barriers to energy production…. The large majority of oil and gas well operators are responsible, and it makes no sense to treat them all as though they were reckless and financially unstable.”

The Biden Administration enacted hundreds of punitive actions against the domestic oil and gas industry. The Trump Administration has worked to reverse this overreach. The latest reversal concerns a Bureau of Land Management’s proposal to lower statewide bonding on oil and gas leases from $500,000 to $25,000.

In protest, the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN) and other left-of-center environmental organizations claim that companies will be incited to abandon wells and stick taxpayers with the cleanup bill.…
