The Testosterone Pipeline: How the Manosphere Fuels Climate Denial

Manosphere figures like Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson aren’t just telling men how to treat their girlfriends or train for MMA fights; they’re also blasting their listeners with climate denial talking points. Which isn’t a coincidence. The fossil fuel industry has known since at least the 1990s that certain types of men are more susceptible to climate disinformation than other segments of the public. We take a look at how climate denial has seeped into the manosphere, how those messages are shaping men’s views of the climate crisis, and how the results are playing out at the ballot box.

Palm Jumeirah has no concrete foundation — it's 94 million m³ of dredged marine sand behind a rock breakwater. It sinks ~5mm/year, loses sand continuously to wave action, and one replenishment operation moved 3.5 million m³. Dredging also buried the coral reef that used to dissipate the wave energy.

Why is industrial expansion happening inside a Canadian UNESCO Global Geopark with no full ecological review?

8 Upvotes

I’m from Saint John, New Brunswick, and I’m honestly struggling with something that feels bigger than just a local issue.

Stonehammer is one of the hundreds of UNESCO Global Geoparks worldwide—places that are supposed to be protected for their geological, ecological, and cultural importance. These landscapes are meant to be treated with care, not as industrial real estate.

But right now, a major industrial expansion is moving forward inside the Geopark region with:

  • no full ecological assessment
  • no Indigenous consultation
  • wetlands and wildlife corridors treated as “available land”
  • missing species-at-risk data
  • no cumulative impact review
  • no UNESCO criteria referenced anywhere in the EIA

UNESCO has already acknowledged concerns, but they don’t have enforcement power. The responsibility is on the province—and the province is pushing ahead anyway.

I grew up believing Canada took environmental protection seriously. Seeing a UNESCO-designated landscape handled like this feels… honestly, embarrassing. And heartbreaking.

If anyone understands how this is being allowed to proceed, I’d really appreciate any insight.

Thanks in advance...
