Ep 763Biden Climate Rules Onslaught: Coming to a Household Near You - The Climate Realism Show #111
On episode 111 of The Climate Realism Show, we review many of the eco policies that amount to Biden's war on homeowners and the citizenry for the sake of "saving the planet" from climate change.We'll be discussing the Biden power plant rule, auto emissions rule, new ESA restrictions in Texas for a lizard, appliance rules, and more. The rules restricting gas stove and light bulbs and others supposedly to prevent so-called climate catastrophes affect our everyday choices and lives.Joining us is Marlo Lewis, Jr. who is a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Lewis writes on global warming, energy policy, and public policy issues and will comment of the onslaught by Biden which appears geared to meet the 180 day deadline for such things before the November election.Join host Anthony Watts, the Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, and Marlo Lewis for the big list of FAIL. And, as always, we have the Crazy Climate News of the Week.

Ep 762Climate and Energy-the Case for Realism: David Legates, Ph.D.
In his new co-authored anthology, Climate and Energy: The Case for Realism, climatologist David Legates gathers assembles some of the best scientists, economists and analysts on climate change today to stake out a middle ground between extreme climate alarm, and the other extreme of people claiming climate change is a hoax. Climate change is happening, people are having localized effects, but it poses no existential threat to civilization of existence.

Ep 761CLIMATE CULT COLLAPSE - The People and the Market Speak Their Mind
On episode 109 of The Climate Realism Show, we look at two recent polls that show climate change opinion is sharply waning in its perception as a threat to the public. At the same time, ESG funds have essentially collapsed as investors pull their money.Joining us to discuss these issues is Donald Kendal deputy director of Heartland’s Socialism Research Center, and video host of the In the Tank weekly podcast.Plus, host Anthony Watts, The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken analyze this downturn. And, as always, we have the Crazy Climate News of the Week.

Ep 758The Folly of Wind and Solar to Power Pennsylvania
The other day H. Sterling Burnett, director of The Heartland Institute's Arthur B. Robinson Center for Climate and Environmental Policy was a guest on The John Steigerwald Show on AM1250 The Answer in Pittsburgh. Sterling is a frequent guest on that excellent program, and was asked on to talk about Pennsylvania's plan to lean on solar and wind for future energy. As you might expect, Sterling explained how and why this is a bad idea, especially for resource-rich Pennsylvania.Excellent links for more climate realist information from The Heartland Institute:https://heartland.org/topics/environment-energy/https://climaterealism.com/https://climateataglance.com/https://energyataglance.com/ In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Ep 757Climate and Energy: The Case for Realism – The Climate Realism Show #105
On episode 105 of The Climate Realism Show, we talk to E. Calvin Beisner, co-editor (along with David Legates) of the new book “Climate and Energy: The Case For Realism.” The book combines outstanding climate science, physics, economics, environmental science, political science, ethics, and theology to present a well-reasoned understanding of human-induced climate change and how to respond to it. The authors of the chapters in this book, all experts in their respective fields, conclude for a wide range of issues related to climate and energy, that “attempted cures for climate change are generally worse than the disease—especially for the poor.”Beisner will join host Jim Lakely, and The Heartland Institute’s usual climate crew of H. Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken, to talk about this book and also the Crazy Climate News of the Week.

Ep 756Save the Whales, Kill the Turbines – The Climate Realism Show #104
On episode 104 of The Climate Realism Show, we explain that to save the whales we need to kill these growing large-scale offshore wind projects. These so-called “wind farms” are much larger and do much more environmental damage than most people realize. Covering an area the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined, one project off the Mid-Atlantic poses an existential risk to the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale. That is just one of many ocean mammals harassed and killed by these projects that will, at best, provide unreliable and expensive energy. Remember when “save the whales” was the cry of the environmentalists? Now they are fine with a spike in dead whales washing up on our Atlantic beaches as long as the “green energy” agenda continues apace.The Heartland Institute is part of a lawsuit to stop to a major wind project in the Atlantic and save the right whale. We will talk about that effort with Craig Rucker and Terry Johnson of CFACT, who are also part of the suit. Join them and host Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken to talk about that, plus the Crazy Climate News of the Week. In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Ep 755Renewable Power Costs More and Delivers Less
In this enlightening episode, Isaac Orr from the Center of the American Experiment delves into the complexities of renewable energy and its impact on power grids across the United States. Orr argues for a reevaluation of what we consider 'renewable' energy, arguing the term 'renewable' might be misleading, suggesting a shift towards labeling these energy sources as 'unreliable.' He sheds light on the hidden costs and inefficiencies of renewable energy sources, pointing out that, despite significant subsidies, they prove to be more costly and less efficient than traditional energy sources.Orr illustrates how states heavily invested in renewable energy—from California to Texas, traversing through Ohio to the Northeast—are experiencing increased instances of power emergencies, including blackouts and brownouts. This episode not only challenges the prevailing narrative around renewable energy but also explores the broader implications of these energy policies on our daily lives and the environment. Join us as we navigate through the controversial and often misunderstood realm of renewable power, its economic ramifications, and why speaking out on these issues might attract unwarranted attention, as experienced by the Center of the American Experiment.

Ep 754Climate: The Movie - The Climate Realism Show #103
Climate Change Roundtable is now The Climate Realism Show. The same great climate news and analysis from The Heartland Institute’s world-class climate and energy experts, but a snazzy new name that gets right to the heart of what it is about.On episode 103 of The Climate Realism Show, we welcome Tom Nelson, producer of the new film “Climate: The Movie.” The film exposes the climate alarm as an invented scare without any basis in science. It emphatically counters the claim that current temperatures and levels of atmospheric CO2 are unusually and worryingly high. In fact, we are currently in an ice age and there is no evidence that changing levels of CO2 (it has changed many times) has ever ‘driven’ climate change in the past.The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts is host, H. Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken will break down the movie and it’s impact with Nelson.Plus, we will also have our regular weekly feature, Crazy Climate News - where we look at some of the most absurd climate alarmism stories of the week.

Ep 753Climatosis, Fossil Feuds, & Missy's Twitch (Guest: Jon Pepper)
Businessman and author Jon Pepper has written a series of books that explores the trials and tribulations of the energy industry in a highly politicized age, the newest of which, "Missy's Twitch," explores a young woman's passage from indoctrination and climate alarm induced spasms, to awareness of the lack of compelling evidence for climate alarm, and the toxic politics surrounding the issue.The book is at turns hilarious and disturbing in the picture it paints of the current state of energy and climate politics, along the way presenting some caricatures of politicians and business interests who even the casual reader should be able to identify from real life, mocking them appropriately.Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Missys-Twitch-Fossil-Feuds-Pepper-ebook/dp/B0CKM4VJFB In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Ep 752Electric Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - The Climate Realism Show #101
Climate Change Roundtable is now The Climate Realism Show. The same great climate news and analysis from The Heartland Institute's world-class climate and energy experts, but a snazzy new name that gets right to the heart of what it is about.On episode 101 of The Climate Realism Show, we examine the folly of electrification of EVERYTHING that are chasing NetZero goals. It seems that not only is there a plethora of electric cars that fail regularly, but there are also battery powered trains and airplanes which also seem doomed to failure.The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, and the always sharp Linnea Lueken, provide expert commentary on ELECTRIC Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.Plus, we will also have our regular weekly feature, Crazy Climate News - where we look at some of the most absurd climate alarmism stories of the week.

Ep 750Climate Science Is Being Subverted By Poor Metrics and the Pursuit of Consensus (Guest: Matthew Wielicki, Ph.D.)
Dr. Matthew Wielicki has had a heck of a year, voluntarily leaving academia when he found the pursuit and promotion of knowledge was being subverted by an effort to enforce consensus on researchers. Nowhere is this more evident than in the field of climate change. He now refers to himself as "earth science professor in exile." Recently he has written about why "global average temperature," is a poor metric for climate change, and how poorly conducted, alarming climate research is being heralded by the media, and not being called out by scientists -- all in an effort to motivate climate action which will rob our children of their money, freedom, and mental health.

Ep 749States Have Granted Big Banks the Right to Seize Your Property
A recent study by Jack McPherrin from Heartland explores how state legislatures, in adopting provisions of the Universal Commercial Code, have enabled "too big to fail" banks to seize the private retirement accounts of both individuals and institutional investors during times of crisis.

Ep 748The SEC Lacks Authority to Mandate Climate Concern (Guest: Stone Washington)
The Securities and Exchange Commission is trying to become a climate regulator. It has proposed forcing companies under its regulatory purview, and even those outside of its direct authority, to take climate change seriously. The proposals would force SEC regulated companies, and those in their supply chains, to report how climate change will effect their operations, their emissions, and how they are responding to shifts in weather.

Ep 747Mann vs. Steyn: A Disgrace to the Profession – Climate Change Roundtable #97
The Climate Trial of the Century is over, and the result is an absolutely travesty of justice. A D.C. jury ruled yesterday that Mark Steyn must pay $1 in compensatory damages and an absurd $1 million in punitive damages to climate media star Michael Mann for his claimed defamation. His co-defendant, Rand Simberg, was socked with paying $1 in compensatory damages, but only $1,000 in punitive damages.We followed the trial every day for nearly four weeks, and we can tell you that it was a disgrace to the professions in our legal system, the “profession” of juries to administer justice, and the professions in alarmist climate science. In short, the whole thing was a disgrace.On episode 97 of Climate Change Roundtable, The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely break down what happened in the trial, how this criminally unjust jury decision came to be, and what this means for the First Amendment rights of anyone who questions alarmist dogma in public.

Ep 746Mann vs. Steyn: Climate Trial of the Century Week 3 (Guest: Ann McElhinney)
In the third week of the defamation trial in which climate “hockey stick” inventor Michael Mann is suing Mark Steyn and Rand Simberg, Mann rested his case. And now the defense has begun to make its devastating case against the nasty serial litigator in the Climate Trial of the Century. The hockey stick itself is being broken into pieces in public.On episode 96 of Climate Change Roundtable, special guest Ann McElhinney joins The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely to break down the latest bombshell moments of the trial. We are sure to mention the devastating testimony on Thursday of renowned statistician Abraham Wyner who exposed Mann’s hockey stick to be the fraud Steyn and Simberg (and many others) say it is.SUBSCRIBE to the Climate Change On Trial podcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/climate-change-on-trial/id1713827256Visit Climate Change on Trialhttps://climatechangeontrial.com/ In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Ep 745Mann vs. Steyn: Climate Trial of the Century Continues - Guest: Phelim McAleer on Climate Change Roundtable
In the second week of the defamation trial, where serial litigator and special climate snowflake Michael Mann sued Mark Steyn and others for libel, the proceedings featured notable developments and surprising revelations. To discuss, Phelim McAleer, a filmmaker and journalist who is attending the trial in a federal court in Washington, DC, joins episode 95 of Climate Change Roundtable.Thursday afternoon marked a significant moment in the trial, featuring Steyn cross-examining Mann. McAleer will share his observations with host Anthony Watts and panelists H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely. The lawsuit stems from 2012 when Mann accused Steyn and others of libel for ridiculing his "hockey stick" graph, a key element in climate change discussions.Steyn compared the cover-up of Mann’s shoddy science at his then-employer Penn State University to the way the school covered up the sexual abuse crimes conducted by disgraced football coach Jerry Sandusky. Penn State whitewashed the internal investigation. In addition to discussing the trial, the episode will cover some of the crazy climate news of the week. We also urge you to seek out a new daily podcast produce by our guest, Phelim, and his wife Ann McIlhenny called “Climate Change on Trial,” where professional actors are reenacting the Mann trial.

Ep 744Climate Trial of the Century: Mann vs Steyn – Climate Change Roundtable #94
After 12 years of delays, the defamation lawsuit brought by climate scientist Michael Mann and writer Mark Steyn finally began this week. Mann sued Steyn and others in 2012 claiming they libeled him when they mocked his infamous “hockey stick” graph that has been the lynchpin of climate alarmism for decades. Steyn compared the cover-up of Mann’s shoddy science at his then-employer Penn State University to the way the school covered up the horrible sexual abuse crimes conducted by disgraced football coach Jerry Sandusky and then whitewashed an internal investigation.Steyn, who gave one of the greatest keynotes ever at a Heartland climate conference about this case a while back (see below for a link), has been itching for this trial to finally happen since Obama was just starting his second term. It was Mann who employed one delaying tactic after another in an attempt to scare Steyn off.Steyn never backs down from a fight, and is putting Mann’s hockey stick itself on trial. And, in a twist that will be either brilliant or disastrous, Steyn is acting as his own attorney in this civil suit.In episode 94 of Climate Change Roundtable, host Anthony Watts and panelists H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and (maybe) Jim Lakely will get you caught up on the Climate Trial of the Century. After opening statements on Thursday, the jury trial in the DC Superior Court is expected to last well into next week.

Ep 743Biden Wants to Ban Your Favorite Appliances (Guest: Ben Lieberman)
In its obsessive pursuit of carbon dioxide emission reductions without regard to costs or freedom of choice, the Biden administration has conducted a regulatory assault on appliances, limiting consumers choice of appliances in a doomed attempt to control future weather. CEI Senior Fellow Ben Lieberman discusses how the energy efficiency mandates that the Biden administration is applying to a larger than ever range of appliances and products are limiting consumers freedom of choice, increasing costs, and forcing the sale of products that don't have features that consumers want and that don't work as well and the products they are replacing.Watch a Heartland Institute video on this topic at the link below.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maJTNrkYWgU In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Ep 742Fighting For Freedom Against Climate Tyranny (Guest: Daren Bakst)
In this insightful episode of "Environment and Climate News," host H. Sterling Burnett engages with Daren Bakst, the new Director of CEI’s Center for Energy and Environment. The discussion focuses on CEI's longstanding commitment to challenging government policies that encroach on property rights and individual freedom. The episode particularly examines how climate change is leveraged by proponents of expansive government control, with specific attention to international agreements like those established at COP 28. These agreements are scrutinized for their potential to limit personal freedom, including restrictions on travel and lifestyle choices. Under Bakst's leadership, CEI is actively opposing policies such as carbon tariffs and carbon taxes, while advocating for consumer freedom in vehicle and appliance selection. Tune in to explore how CEI confronts these issues, aiming to preserve individual liberties in the face of climate policy.

Ep 739UN Climate Conference Czars: You Need to Eat a Lot Less Meat
The other day, H. Sterling Burnett, director of The Heartland Institute’s Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy, was on the John Steigerwald Show on AM1250 The Answer in Pittsburgh. He was invited on to talk about how the agenda of the United Nations’ annual climate conference — COP28 in Dubai — includes demanding everyone in the world eat less meat. To save the planet, of course.Sterling explains how all livestock in earth accounts for just 4 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, not 30 percent as Biden Climate “Czar” John Kerry claims. In fact, Sterling and Steigerwald talk about many of the dystopian proposals coming out of the UN Climate Regime. The climate elite enjoy a “high carbon lifestyle” — including flying thousands of private jets to oil-rich Dubai — while demanding the rest of us live poorer and more-miserable lives. But there is good news: People around the world are starting to throw their climate alarmist leaders out of power. More of that please.It’s a great and informative interview, so have a listen.

Back in 2010, Fracking wasn’t as prevalent as today. More, climate alarmists were pushing hard to prevent it from ever taking off. A decade later, fracking didn’t have the dire consequences that alarmists claimed it would have.H. Sterling Burnett joins the Steve Gruber show to discuss the disproportionate response failed documentaries like Gasland get when compared to the very real threat the Right Atlantic Whale is facing due to offshore wind. Since sonar testing for offshore wind has begun, the Right whale has consistently shown up dead with no official explanation in sight.

Ep 737Is EU Climate Madness and the Netherlands' War on Farmers Coming to America?
Europe is much farther down the climate alarm rabbit hole than the United States is. Specifically, the Netherlands climate goals have come increasingly at the expense of farmers. The policies have ended generations of family farms in one of Europe's most vital breadbasket countries in the name of reducing CO2 and nitrogen emissions to meet EU climate goals. Could it happen in the U.S.? Yes, if we don't carefully rein in Marxism in our schools and growing bureaucracies.

Ep 736The Truth About Electric Vehicles and a High Carbon Lifestyle (Guest: The Hon. Jason Isaac)
Electric vehicles cost much more than most people realize, with many costs borne by taxpayers and ratepayers hidden from public view. The true cost can be almost double the sticker prices when subsidies for electric charging and fuel economy credits are included. Despite this, they don't sell or function well. It's time to reembrace a high carbon lifestyle, says the Hon. Jason Isaac, the CEO of the American Energy Institute.

This week on "Climate Change Roundtable," host Anthony Watts and panelist H. Sterling Burnett will delve into the big report issued by the Biden Administration - NCA5, or the National Climate Assessment #5. The media went ballistic over this report, with CNN claiming, "No place in the US is safe from the climate crisis, but a new report shows where it's most severe." Similar claims were echoed by other media outlets, yet when you scrutinize the data, these claims are unsupported.Joining us will be James Taylor, president of The Heartland Institute and an expert in policy analysis, as we dissect this lunacy.Tune into "Climate Change Roundtable #88."

Ep 734The Urban Heat Island Effect - Dramatic New Findings With Dr. Roy Spencer
This week on "Climate Change Roundtable," host Anthony Watts and panelists Linnea Lueken and H. Sterling Burnett will discuss the the big white elephant in the climate room: urban heat islands (UHI), a significant but often overlooked topic in climate science. This phenomenon has been known for decades, yet climate advocates often dismiss it as either insignificant or claim to adjust for it when, in reality, they do not.Joining us will be Dr. Roy Spencer from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. He will talk about his new UHI dataset, which not only demonstrates the strong effect in the United States but also in other parts of the world.

Ep 733Debunking Persistent Myths About Hydraulic Fracturing
The other day, Heartland Institute Research Fellow for Environment and Energy Policy Linnea Lueken was a guest on the Ron Arquette Show on KRNS radio in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was invited on to talk about a new paper she wrote with Heartland's Tim Benson titled "Debunking Four Persistent Myths About Hydraulic Fracturing." As Linnea explains, "fracking," as it's commonly called, is the process of extracting natural gas and oil from several miles deep beneath the surface of the Earth. This revolutionary technique -- combined with horizontal drilling -- has made America a global energy leader again and created thousands of good-paying jobs. But opponents of fracking peddle myths about damage the process does to drinking water, causing air pollution, health problems, and even earthquakes.Heartland was happy to be able to bust these myths on Rod Arquette's show. Have a listen to this brief interview and learn more.Read the paper by Linnea Lueken and Tim Benson here: https://heartland.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Oct-23-FrackingMyths.pdf In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Ep 729Hottest Summer Ever? NOT!
On Climate Change Roundtable, we take a stand against selective information portrayal, examining the contexts often omitted in mainstream climate discussions. This week, we’re covering the go-to media hottest ever narrative parroted after every summer. And, we'll have special guest Marc Morano on to discuss Mann's court appearance in the decade old Mann vs Steyn case this week.The media has been quick to dub this the 'hottest summer on record', but what does that truly mean in the vast timeline of Earth's climatic history? The referenced record composes the last 150 years, a misleading statement outright. And during this time, Earth is recovering from the Little Ice Age, further skewing the data. When you look at the Earth’s entire history, temperatures are well within norms. We discuss issues with the temperature record, misleading language, and highlight objective data.An Unexpected Ally in Michael Mann When figures like Michael Mann, known for the hockey stick chart, begin to voice concerns about the media's alarmist take on climate change, it's an indicator that the discourse might be veering off course. We'll discuss his recent tweet that underscores the exaggerated stance of corporate media on climate-related issues.

Ep 727Global Food Production vs. "Climate Catastrophe"
This week we look at agriculture, which seems to be constantly under attack as either being a contributor to climate change, or will suffer from predicted climate change catastrophic effects.But, the reality is far different. Despite a modest warming over the past century, agricultural yields continue to grow, setting several new record highs in the past decade. Further, despite media claims of effects from drought and heatwaves, crops continue to flourish. In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Ep 725The Miseducation of Science Teachers
Recently a prominent science educator, Stanford's Jonathan Osborne, opined that the goal of science is consensus. Science is a process whose goal is the discovery of knowledge, a process which often overturn's consensus. Recently a prominent science educator, Stanford's Jonathan Osborne, opined that the goal of science is consensus. Science is a process whose purpose is the pursuit of knowledge, a process which often overturns consensus. Osborne’s statements dismiss the scientific method, and critical thinking as a whole. This view of science would leave us in towards a dark age, with progress suddenly slowing to a halt. Osborne's view seems to be that knowledge is socially constructed, not based on evidence and measurements, with scientific discovery being reduced to the counting of hands.

Ep 724The Failure of Peer Review in Climate Science
This episode of Climate Change Roundtable titled, "The failure of peer review: Climate is Beholden to Bullying and Bad Decisions" delves into the shadowy and competitive world of climate journal publications.In this episode, our host, Anthony Watts, and weekly panelists, Dr. Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken, will delve into the not-so-scientific ways that science gets published (or retracted) that have come to light in the past two weeks.We’ll discuss Dr. Robert T. Brown’s stunning admission that he held back certain data and analysis in order to ensure his climate paper got published by Nature. We’ll also look at the “climategate gang” and how they have bullied another journal to retract a paper they don’t like, which had already passed peer review. Now, new evidence has emerged of even more bullying. In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Ep 723Challenging the Net-Zero Narrative: Steve Goreham on the Perils of Green Energy
This week on Environment & Climate News. Steve Goreham, author of “Green Breakdown,” joins the show. Steve discusses how efforts to fight climate change by going to net-zero carbon dioxide emissions are unnecessary and doomed to fail. The process of transitioning to an energy grid from intermittent renewables will cause further breakdowns of our energy system. Mandates on cars have safety concerns, but more, rob us of our rights. And the energy mandates will leave our homes dark. In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Ep 721Is Biden Going to Declare a Climate Emergency?
The other day, H. Sterling Burnett, Ph.D., the director of The Heartland Institute's Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy, was a guest on the Cardle & Woolley program on Talk Radio 1370 AM in Austin, Texas. Sterling was asked to be on to talk about how President Biden "kind of" declared a climate emergency, or at least said as much in a recent interview with The Weather Channel. If an "official" climate emergency is declared, what would that look like? How much power could Biden seize? Burnett explores those questions, and more, on this radio appearance.

Ep 720Biden, Montana, Maui - 'Climate Emergency' Madness Continues With Special Guest Dr. Judith Curry
It has been a crazy week in the climo-sphere. Fires in Maui were blamed on “climate change” by the media, only for them to find out that this wasn’t the case at all!President Joe Biden, after having a disastrous week of optics sitting on the beach while Maui burned, decided to fly there Monday. With the perfect setting for “disaster porn” from the burned city of Lahaina, he may finally declare an “official” global climate emergency next week.The Biden White House loves their optics!Also, a bunch of kids in Montana (well, actually their handlers) filed a climate lawsuit against the state citing the Montana constitution provision for a clean environment. They just won, arguing with exaggerations and cherry-picked data. Special guest, Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry will discuss her role in defending that lawsuit and her observations.

Ep 718Climate Emergency Declaration? Here Come Climate Lockdowns - Climate Change Roundtable #75
President Joe Biden and the UN are likely to declare an “official” global climate emergency next week. All the signs are there. The chatter, and the behind the scenes maneuvering. The UN’s website now has a climate emergency page. Biden the other day stopped short, but when the new temperature numbers are issued on August 15by NOAA, that may be all the justification Biden needs. The “melting in Antarctica and the supposed subsequent sea level rise” will be another, and Lahaina in Maui burning to the ground will be cited as yet another.If Biden declares a climate emergency, will climate lockdowns follow? History suggests “yes.” In a plausible scenario, we could see gas rationing, restrictions on electricity use, and limits on air travel. Enjoy steaks? Well, you can forget those.But what is the truth about Antarctica ice and Maui fires? Tune in LIVE at noon CT on Friday, August 11 to find out. Host Anthony Watts and Heartland’s H.

Ep 717Climate Lockdowns: The British Change Their Stance
In this episode of Climate Change Roundtable, we head across the pond to the UK to look at the results of a joint poll conducted by YouGov, CAR26, and The Heartland Institute. According to the most recent results, there has been a 20% decrease in the number of Brits who strongly supported the idea of climate lockdowns back in October 2021.Special guest Lois Perry of CAR26 joins todays show to discuss what she observes going on with the climate policies in Britain. Perry founded CAR26 in Oct 2021 as a counter to the net-zero carbon emissions message she saw sweeping the nation. Since founding the organization, Perry has been featured in panel discussions, hosts and appears on weekly TV programs, and gets her message out across printed publications and social media.We’ll also have our usual fun poking holes in the craziest climate news of the week!So, join us for discussion on Climate Change Roundtable.

Ep 716Climate Uncertainty and Risk: Rethinking Our Response: (Guest: Judith Curry, Ph.D.)
In her book, Climate Uncertainty and Risk, Dr. Judith Curry describes how the climate science community has been captured by certain points of view concerning society and the desire for consensus, undermining its pursuit of objective facts. Climate change claims are fraught with uncertainty, only to be shrouded in secrecy for those who seek real-world data. The result is a society that bases it’s policy decisions of improper, and often incorrect, scientific assertions, rather than advancing human wellbeing.

Ep 715Hottest Day in 120,000 Years? That's a Joke, Right?
Is a day this July the hottest day in 120,000 years? Of course not. Heartland Institute Senior Fellow Anthony Watts was a guest this week on KTRH Radio, Houston's Morning News with Sharon and Jim to debunk that ridiculous claim. Anthony also talks about how and why alarmists have changed the term "global warming" to "climate change," which means you can blame every bit of extreme weather on human activity. That's also a claim not backed up by science. In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Ep 714The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC (Guest: Andy May)
In its new critical review, the Climate Intelligence Foundation (CLINTEL) found many problems with the IPCC's AR6 report on climate change. The IPCC made numerous false assumptions and flawed assessments, all the while ignoring key facts. The IPCC erred in its comparisons of present data with proxy data for past climate conditions, made flawed assumptions about climate sensitivity and emissions, and unjustifiably assumed nature plays almost no role in climate change. In addition, the IPCC ignored or downplayed the tremendous benefits to human life of present climate change.
