Many assume that because I often publish articles criticizing and debunking climate alarmism, I must not care about the environment.
This is simply not the case; I care a lot about the environment. In fact, technically, I qualify as an environmental activist.
My activism starts with my personal life: I use my legs instead of an automobile to get around town, I purchase minimal packaging, I live in a small home, I have few possessions, and at least 90% of the year I do not use heating (or air-conditioning, which is not difficult in Canada) at home. I even practise minimalism in my favourite hobby, wearing barely any clothing as I knock around a volleyball on the beach with my friends in bikinis and boardshorts.
However, I believe that my best work as an environmental activist is helping people understand fundamental truths about our surroundings. Empowered with practical knowledge, people are less likely to be fooled into supporting bad actors and counterproductive policies – and more likely to direct their time, effort, and money toward things that will have a positive impact on the environment.
In order to properly document facts and dispel false narratives regarding these important issues, I recruited people much more knowledgeable than me to tell the stories.
When we read an article at BIG Media by doctor of geology Brad Hayes, we benefit from his relentless research – the dude actually reads every word of those 200-page reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and International Energy Agency (IEA). And his course on energy transition through the University of Alberta has attracted more than 6,200 students. Brad is an exceptional writer, who sticks to verifiable facts and logic.
Some of the environment-related topics that Brad has covered with the utmost in accuracy and integrity:
When we read an article at BIG Media by entrepreneurial data scientist Laurie Weston, we benefit from her tireless research and data prowess. She is a distinguished lecturer internationally with a unique ability to “listen” to data and detect subtle threads that lead to insights that others routinely miss.

Laurie has also written a three-part series on fundamental principles of science that has earned praise from scientists and non-scientists alike. These articles help us all examine with a more critical eye environmental messaging from news media, politicians, and climate scientists:
Thanks to the work of Brad, Laurie, and others on the BIG Media editorial team, I am proud to claim that I am an environmental activist who is making a difference – and who aims to make a BIG difference with the ongoing support of all you beautiful supporters of our uniquely accurate and transparent brand of journalism.
You will certainly not see me protesting pipeline development or chaining myself to a tree, but I will continue to work diligently in a way that I believe helps protect our environment.
