Trump Causes Climate Activists to Melt Down - The Climate Realism Show #134

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.

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," 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.

Climate change policy is often framed as a challenge to personal freedoms and choices, especially when policies seem to impose strict limits on individuals’ lifestyles and economic options. For example, regulations that mandate renewable energy or limit fossil fuel use can feel like a direct restriction on the American dream—the idea that with hard work, anyone can achieve prosperity and a higher standard of living. These policies sometimes require sacrifices that may impact businesses and workers in traditional energy industries, as well as limit consumer choices in cars, appliances, home energy sources, and travel options. Additionally, many people worry that climate policies prioritize environmental goals over economic growth, which can restrict innovation, hinder job creation, and raise costs for families. Critics argue that climate policy, especially if it involves heavy-handed government intervention, reduces personal choices by dictating what types of products, energy, and resources individuals can access. For many, this perceived loss of choice challenges core values of independence, opportunity, and personal freedom, which are at the heart of the American dream.

The whole world seems to be nervously awaiting the outcome of the presidential election, which is just 10 days away — perhaps no group more than the global climate cabal. Climate and energy policy is a topic barely mentioned on the campaign trail, and in the debates. But voters are going to decide in November whether America keeps spending billions to be a “leader” in global climate action schemes or pull out of the scam altogether ... and maybe for good.On Episode #132 of The Climate Realism Show our guest is Steve Milloy, publisher of Junkscience.com, senior fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute, and member of the EPA transition team for the first Trump presidency. The Biden-Harris administration has pledged billions of US tax dollars for “global climate action.” Would it be too late to get a refund on that if Trump is elected? Would a second Trump administration get even more aggressive with producing oil and gas? Could he end the taxpayer-subsidized and failing “green energy” industry with the stroke of a pen? And what will the next four years of climate policy look like if Kamala Harris wins?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.

America’s educational system used to cover the “three Rs” — reading, writing, and ’rithmetic – but that has long been abandoned from elementary school through college and even medical school and replaced with ideological indoctrination. Now the University of California, San Diego is requiring students to take a class in “climate change” to earn a degree. Classes such as “The Astronomy of Climate Change”, “Gender and Climate Justice”, “Indigenous Approaches to Climate Change,” and “Environmentalism in Arts and Media” are on offer. What is driving the push for shoving climate alarmism into every academic subject under the sun?On Episode #131 of The Climate Realism Show, we invite Steve Goreham on to discuss. Steve is the executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of four books, including “Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure.”Heartland’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the week.

After a slow start to the 2024 Hurricane Season, it seems like Mother Nature wants to make up for lost time. First Helene hit the Florida Panhandle and caused a disaster in Appalachia. And this week, Hurricane Milton struck an area of the Florida Gulf Coast that hadn’t be hit with a storm this strong in more than 100 years. On Episode #130 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely welcome back Stan Goldenberg, one of the nation’s top hurricane experts, to break down Hurricane Milton. Was this actually and officially a “major” hurricane by the time it made landfall?We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including Bill Nye saying if you need to vote for Kamala Harris to stop hurricanes, Al Gore exploiting hurricanes for fun and profit, and the seemingly unsinkable and ridiculous notion that humans are able to seed and even steer hurricanes.

This week, Heartland Institute Senior Fellow Anthony Watts was a guest on the Shaun Thompson Show on AM 560 the Answer in Chicago. He was asked on the program to talk about Hurricane Milton approaching the Florida Gulf Coast and what Shaun calls the "climate grift." Anthony debunks a lot of climate myths in just a few minutes -- including how even The Washington Post had to admit that despite global warming alarmism, the Earth is experiencing the lowest global temperature in the last 450 million years. In short, and as always, Anthony points out that the actual data itself debunks the climate alarmist narrative.For more information on Heartland's climate work, please visit:Heartland.orghttps://heartland.org/topics/environment-energy/Climate Realismhttps://climaterealism.com/Climate at a Glancehttps://climateataglance.com/Heartland's The Climate Realism Showhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgnnPnL9OL7GMaxssP3-ScgN9PVOjl5sq

Hurricane Helene will go down as one of the most-significant natural disasters (so far) in US History, and certainly of the 21st century. While the Florida panhandle was walloped when it made landfall, the storm did most of its shocking damage far from shore in the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. Entire towns were wiped clean off the surface of the earth and close to 200 lost their lives. The storm was bad, but the media has been spreading myths about both the flooding’s historic nature, and the causes of that flooding. Human-caused “climate change” had nothing to do with it, as The Climate Realism Show crew and special guest Joe Bastardi will explain. Bastardi, chief forecaster for WeatherBELL Analytics, is one of America’s leading hurricane experts and historians, and we are thrilled to welcome him back to the show.The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including how badly EVs and hurricanes mix, who is funding the pernicious climate alarm narrative globally, whether humans can “steer” hurricanes, and more.

It’s climate week in New York City, yet another expensive and carbon-intensive gathering of global chicken littles clucking about the end of the world. More than 6,000 attendees from more than 100 countries converged on the Big Apple to coincide with the United Nations General Assembly Meeting, all the better to coordinate efforts to stop climate change by taking your freedom and money. But is Climate Week losing its cache and are there cracks in support for achieving goals like Net Zero?The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will investigate on Episode #128 of The Climate Realism Show. We will also cover Hurricane Helene, how foolish it would be to have an electric car in the path of that storm, the United Kingdom depending on the same kinds of flawed temperature stations the US does, how climate change is not threatening your daily cup of coffee, and more.
