Human CO2 Emissions Are a GOOD THING - The Climate Realism Show #139 Dec 20, 2024

Show notes

It’s a fact that humans are increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. But does it follow, as we’re constantly told, that this increasing of CO2 is poisoning the planet? What if the opposite is actually the case? This week’s guest, CO2 Coalition Executive Director Gregory Wrightstone, is going to explain why it’s not true that more CO2=Bad.

On Episode #139 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely, and Wrightstone will also cover some of the “Crazy Climate News of the Week.” An op-ed in The New York Times says climate change should make you rethink home ownership. Remember when an iceberg off Antarctica in 2017 was supposed to freak you out? Well, never mind. And the World Economic Forum says you should wash your clothes less to save the planet. They suggest washing jeans once a month and pajamas just once a week. Is there any aspect of our lives that the climate scolds will ignore? Apparently not.

Is Elon Musk Now a Climate Realist? - The Climate Realism Show #138 Dec 13, 2024

Show notes

Elon Musk’s latest fortune was built on his Tesla electric vehicles, helped in no small measure by federal tax credits so more people could afford to buy the luxury items. For years, he’s marketed them as a way to help wean the world of oil and stop the imminent “climate change meltdown.” But The Washington Post reports that Musk’s abandonment of left-wing, trendy, virtue-signaling political views not only eventually led him to Donald Trump, but maybe out of the Climate Cult, altogether. And if Musk makes it OK to leave, will more prominent business leaders and cultural trend setters soon follow?

On Episode #138 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will cover that story, as well as some of the “Crazy Climate News of the Week.” Did you know the Chinese Communist Party is sending lots of money to “green energy” groups and support energy groups and universities in the United States? The UK’s obsession with reaching “Net Zero” is putting its military in danger on the battlefield. And you’re not going to want to miss what is perhaps the dumbest question ever asked by an anchor on CNN.

EPA’s Big Green Money Scam Dec 06, 2024

Show notes

The investigative journalists at Project Veritas have a new scoop. President Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency is reacting to soon losing power by shoveling tens of billions of your tax dollars out the door to left-wing “green” nonprofits. “”We’re throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” said Brent Efron, Special Advisor for Implementation, EPA. “We’re getting the money out.” Again, that’s your money.

On Episode #137 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely cover this outrageous story. They also cover the “Crazy Climate News of the Week,” including how gamers are “fighting climate change,” how the BRICS countries are thumbing their noses at the climate cult at the United Nations, and more.

COP 29: Inside the Disaster in Baku - The Climate Realism Show #136 Nov 22, 2024

Show notes

The latest annual United Nations climate conference, COP29, is about to wrap up in Baku, Azerbaijan – the second year in a row it has been held in a “petro state.” Add in the election of Donald Trump just before they convened, and it was a pretty grim affair if you are a global climate alarmist. But for some people it was a blast, including Craig Rucker and Marc Morano of CFACT, who attended as they usually do. They will provide us a report from the ground on what even supporters of the global climate command-and-control agenda are admitting was a disaster.

On Episode #136 The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the week.

Maple Syrup and Hot Air: Debunking Canada’s Climate Hype – The Climate Realism Show #135 Nov 15, 2024

Show notes

While the political tide has shifted right in the United States – and away from the climate alarmist agenda – our neighbors to the north are still currently all-in for the economically ruinous and scientifically unnecessary Net Zero agenda. But climate realists in the Great White North are pushing back, and a new book released in conjunction with The Heartland Institute will serve as an important weapon in the scientific and public relations arsenal.

On Episode #135 of The Climate Realism Show, we welcome the co-authors of Energy & Climate at a Glance: Canadian Edition, which outlines why the climate plans of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s climate plans will cause economic hardship in Canada and will do nothing measurable to improve the global climate. Heartland’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the week and take your questions in the chat. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET this Friday and every Friday.

Trump Causes Climate Activists to Melt Down - The Climate Realism Show #134 Nov 08, 2024

Show notes

Donald Trump’s massive landslide victory in Tuesday’s presidential election has climate activists around the world melting down. Trump called measures to control climate change “one of the great scams” of the world, and said at one of his final rallies “who the hell cares?” if the sea levels rise. Trump will immediately get America out of the Paris Climate Agreement, and promised in his acceptance speech this week to get as much “liquid gold” out of ground in the United States as possible. Climate Clown Michael Mann is apoplectic, of course. Climate activists in the UK vandalized the US embassy in London with orange paint. And X, formerly Twitter, was full of climate loonies losing their minds. We’ll go over all of that, and have a little schadenfreudic fun at their expense.

On Episode #134 of The Climate Realism Show, we welcome the Carbon King, Jason Isaac CEO of the American Energy Institute to discuss the future of climate and energy policy in the restoration of the Trump administration. Heartland’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the week.

"Not So Fast," on Coal Closures, Its Still Vital To America (Guest: Matt Mackowiak) Nov 04, 2024

Show notes

"Not So Fast," is a campaign to make it obvious to the general public, regulators, and legislators alike that coal still plays a vital role to play in the U.S. electric power supply and in industrial production, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. It is way too soo to put it out to pasture and doing so could be dangerous, putting our economy and national security at risk. The push to quickly end coal's use and rapidly expand the use of renewables will harm the U.S. and won't impact climate change, especially when one realize the industrial production of wind and solar use coal as well.
