The Climate Realist President — The Climate Realism Show #175

When The New York Times starts to wonder if the world has given up on fighting climate change, maybe it’s time to believe them? The paper’s “Climate Forward” event the other day featured a New York Times staffer sounding forlorn that we’ve missed “the one chance we have to save the one planet we’ve got.”On Episode #176 of The Climate Realism Show, we will also cover more of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including the downfall of Chief Climate Scold Michael Mann, and Pope Leo blessing a chunk of ice at a “climate justice” summit. Join The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and James Taylor live at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, and X.Visit our sponsor, Advisor Metals: https://climaterealismshow.com/metals/ In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

The UN is gearing up for COP30 in Brazil, where global elites will once again lecture the world about “climate catastrophe.” But behind the rhetoric lies hypocrisy: bulldozing the Amazon to host the event, while new science shows the rainforest is actually thriving thanks to carbon dioxide.In this interview, Heartland Institute President James Taylor explains why the U.S. should refuse to participate, how the global climate agenda is really about power and redistribution, and why so-called “green” energy sources like wind and solar are neither clean, affordable, nor reliable.Heartland will be in Brazil as the unofficial American delegation—bringing facts the UN won’t share.👉 Learn more at https://heartland.org 👉 Explore the Affordable, Reliable, Clean Scorecard: Heartland Institute Scorecard In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

At the United Nations this week — during “Climate Week” in New York City — Donald Trump delivered what may be the most honest climate speech ever given by an American president. He called climate alarmism “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world,” mocked failed doomsday predictions, and warned global leaders about the dangers of the green agenda.On Episode #175 of The Climate Realism Show, we’ll break down Trump’s historic remarks, highlight why no other world leader (except maybe Argentina’s Javier Milei) would dare to speak this bluntly, and cover more Crazy Climate News of the Week from Climate Week in NYC.Join Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest Marc Morano of CFACT for this live broadcast.📺 Tune in LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, and X — and join us in the live chat!Chapters: 00:47 Start 05:23 Greta Thumberg Cancelled? 13:30 Conservative MOLE in the Climate Movement20:20 EPA Ends where ROMANCE with Activism?29:10 Trump COOKED the UN48:12 Q&A In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

The media has started to notice that opposition to the “net zero” agenda is fueling a political revolution in Great Britain. POLITICO just ran a hit piece on The Heartland Institute and its climate science and policy presentation at a Reform UK party event this month. It treats as a scandal that Heartland UK/Europe has “held conversations with policymakers within Reform UK.”Did that happen? You bet. And it’s long overdue for organized and effective pushback against climate alarmism and net zero madness.On Episode #174 of The Climate Realism Show, we welcome back the indefatigable Lois Perry, director of Heartland UK/Europe and host of her new program The Lois Perry Show: A Bird’s Eye View. She’ll join Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely to talk about all that—and some of the craziest climate news of the week.📺 Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, and X!VISIT OUR SPONSOR: Advisor metals. https://climaterealismshow.com/metalsCHAPTERS:00:00 Intro4:23 Lois Perry on Charlie Kirk8:00 Funerals Should Comply with Net Zero in UK18:34 EV Disaster Update31:24 We Will Never Have Paris (Climate Agreement)45:28 Climate Realism Heats up in the UK58:41 ADVISOR METALS!1:01:56 Q&A In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

A new poll out of the United Kingdom shows that Brits who think the dangers of global warming are exaggerated and phony has soared by 50 percent compared to four years ago. So it is also not a surprise that the Labour Party’s “net zero” agenda is increasingly hated by the British public, too. Is it just a coincidence that Heartland UK/Europe is now on the ground there pushing back at climate alarmism? Perhaps. But it’s also a fact that climate realism is a big part of the Reform UK party agenda, which was highlighted at a party event last week.On Episode #172 of The Climate Realism Show, we bring back the indefatigable Lois Perry, director of Heartland UK/Europe and host of her own new show — The Lois Perry Show: A Bird’s Eye View — to talk about all that and some of the crazy climate news of the week.

When five independent scientists dared to produce the first U.S. government report to reject the climate alarmist narrative, Big Climate vowed to strike back. And it has. This week, a group of 85 scientists released a rebuttal to the Department of Energy’s “Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.” They condemned the report, writing that “no one should doubt human-caused climate change is real,” and attacked the work and motivations of the 2025 Climate Working Group authors: Judith Curry, John Christy, Steven Koonin, Ross McKitrick, and Roy Spencer. We will rebut their rebuttal on Episode 172 of The Climate Realism Show.Join The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely, along with special guest Steve Milloy, as they hit this topic, cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week, and answer your questions.

The EPA is moving to rescind the 2009 “endangerment” finding that declared CO₂ a pollutant—supposedly dangerous to human health, well-being, and the planet. Now that the public comment period is open, the National Academy of Sciences is rushing activist scientists into action to defend it. The usual suspects—Michael Mann, Zeke Hausfather, and others—are already whining, while media allies like AP’s Seth Borenstein launch their own attacks.In this episode of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely—joined by returning special guest Chris Martz—dig into the coming “NASty Gram” on CO₂ headed to the EPA. Chris brings his sharp, meteorology-based analysis to cut through the noise and spotlight the facts.We also cover some of the week’s most outrageous climate news: claims that “deniers” are refusing to die from heat waves, a school district ditching electric buses to go back to gas because EVs can’t be repaired, and why climate change isn’t dooming your bananas.Sponsored by Advisor Metals Protect your wealth with precious metals: https://climaterealismshow.com/metals In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

During COVID, power‑mad government officials around the globe shut down society to protect us from a contagious virus that killed a small percentage of those who got it. Restaurants, parks, and beaches were closed. Gatherings larger than what could fit in a phone booth were canceled. They even told us not to celebrate Thanksgiving with our loved ones for “the greater good.”Today, power‑grabbers in Canada are banning hikers from the woods in the Maritimes and imposing enormous fines on those who dare set foot in their own public forests. Why? Because of the Canadian wildfires. And this kind of madness is just the beginning.Join The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely — along with special guest Matthew Wielicki — to discuss the coming Climate Lockdowns. We will also cover some of the crazy climate news of the week, including rap music being used to raise climate awareness among the illiterate in Pakistan, the continued blackballing of non‑alarmist climate scientists, and how the road to Hell is being paved with green intentions.

A “1,000-year flood.” The hottest temperatures ever recorded! Wildfires “everywhere.” The legacy media and social platforms can’t stop peddling sensational “climate p0rn” — fear-based stories designed to shock, not inform. But behind the dramatic headlines lies a far different reality. This week, we pull back the curtain and show you the hard facts the alarmists leave out.The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely dive into Crazy Climate News of the Week:🌍 New evidence revealing just how high atmospheric CO₂ was during the age of dinosaurs🌲 Are claims that climate change is making trees more flammable actually true?⚠️ How the Climate Alarmist Industrial Complex works to crush science and common sense in public policy In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

This is a historic week—historically catastrophic for climate alarmists who have bullied their way through every institution in the United States and around the world. Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency formally announced, at long last, that it will repeal the so-called “Endangerment Finding” for carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The EPA has determined that GHGs are not pollution and that their emissions from human activity do not pose a threat to human health. On the same day, Trump’s Department of Energy released a “critical review of impacts of GHG emissions on the U.S. climate.” This marks the first time ever that a climate report from the federal government can withstand scientific scrutiny, as it is based on actual science and data rather than politics or any particular agenda.The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will be joined by Dr. Judith Curry, president of Climate Forecast Applications Network (CFAN). Dr. Curry is one of America's most prominent climate scientists and a co-author of the Department of Energy’s critical review.We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week from around the world.
