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 automobile is environmentalism-on-wheels. The open road is freedom to escape the concrete for the great beyond. Mountains, rivers, hills, forests, even beautiful green golf courses–it is all a drive away.
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 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.…
Sierra Club: Volunteers Needed to Counter ‘Climate Disinformation’
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- May 18, 2026“Climate disinformation is rampant on social media, but the volunteers of Sierra Club’s Climate Truth Tellers team are fighting back by uplifting positive, fact-based posts.” (- Sierra Club, below)
Call to Action! A leading environmental pressure group is urging us to volunteer to debate climate and energy issues on all leading social media platforms. I am very active on LinkedIn and Facebook, so I have signed up on the Sierra Club’s website. You can also.
Background
As reported at Yale Climate Connections,
…Jennifer McCharen of the Sierra Club says reading this can make people feel confusion or despair. So she leads a team of more than 1,300 volunteers who are fighting back – not by arguing with online trolls but by uplifting truthful content…. Each week, her team sends a few accurate social media posts to these volunteer ‘Climate Truth-Tellers’ and asks them to flood the comments.
