The corporate climate-alarmist media is already turning up the heat—on your TV, not outside—by hyping a summer warm spell as a “heat dome” threatening “dangerous heat and humidity” across much of America next week. Yes, it's going to be hot. It's summer. But the data tell a different story: there's no long-term trend showing an increase in the number or intensity of heat waves. And despite what they claim, carbon dioxide emissions don't drive heat waves. That's not to say human activity isn't warming the planet—but not in the way they're shouting from the rooftops. We'll lay it all out.In episode 162 of The Climate Realism Show, we'll give you the facts you need to counter the inevitable media panic surrounding next week's forecast. Plus, we've got a loaded slate of Crazy Climate News: U.S. residential solar is on the brink, the so-called carbon fingerprint just got smeared, and Philadelphia's electric bus fleet is going up in flames—literally. You'll want to hear all of it.Tune in LIVE at 1 p.m. ET with Heartland's Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, H. Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely.

We get so many great questions in each episode of The Climate Realism Show that we decided to dedicate a whole episode to it. Well, all of it but our coverage of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, of course. UN Secretary-General António Guterres is calling (again) for the censorship of climate realists, another giant ship has been set ablaze and adrift by EVs, our atmosphere is getting “thirstier” (and that's bad, of course), and a Florida TV weatherman is lying about not being able to predict hurricanes because of federal budget cuts.   In Episode #160 of The Heartland Institute's The Climate Realism Show, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, H. Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely are joined by newly minted meteorologist Chris Martz, who has been driving alarmists crazy on social media for years.   Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET every Friday on YouTube, Rumble, and X.

The Heartland Institute and Heartland UK/Europe have been in Poland and Hungary this week, meeting with leaders of the conservative movement and top politicians. Opposition to Net Zero in Europe is real—and growing. Just a few years ago, even right-leaning public figures were reluctant to publicly oppose the Big Green agenda, and hardly ever spoke of it even in private conversations. Today, climate realism has become a main plank of center-right politics and policy.Heartland Institute President James Taylor and Heartland UK/Europe Director Lois Perry join the show LIVE from Budapest to report on this shift—and take your questions—at 1 p.m. ET.In Episode #159 of The Heartland Institute's The Climate Realism Show, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, H. Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely cover the rise of climate realism in Europe and the Crazy Climate News of the Week. That includes: an alarmist imploring us not to “shatter the climate,” climate clergy livestreaming their climate depression marathon, whether cows dream of electric grills, and the validity of a stack of Biden climate executive orders signed by autopen.Be sure to join the chat—we'll show your comments and answer your questions!

Donald Trump achieved a major political and policy victory on Thursday when the U.S. House of Representatives passed what he calls his “Big Beautiful Bill.” The less-creative name is the budget reconciliation bill, which presidents for years have used to implement large parts of their agenda. (That's how we got “Obamacare.”)The bill includes many of Trump's economic policy promises, such as tax cuts, but also rolls back much of the “green” energy and climate policies the Biden administration imposed via the Inflation Reduction Act.Join Heartland's Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, H.

A new study from the University of Alabama in Huntsville addresses the question of how much the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is responsible for the higher temperatures at weather stations across the world. Dr. Roy Spencer and Dr. John Christy have spent several years developing a novel method that quantifies, for the first time, the average UHI warming effects related to population density. Their finding: no less than 65% of “runaway global warming” is not caused by our emissions of carbon dioxide, but by the urbanization of the world.Dr. Spencer will join us to go over his findings. We'll also cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including an absurd new bit of unscientific propaganda from the U.S. Climate Reference Network at NOAA, wonder if the sun is setting on wide-scale solar energy, and discuss how alarmists refuse to see that we live in a climactic “golden age”—and more.Join Heartland's Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, H.

In mid-April, Spain's socialist government bragged that, for the first time, the nation was powered by 100 percent “renewable” energy—mostly solar and wind. One week later, Spain, Portugal, parts of France, and several other countries suffered the largest peacetime blackout in their histories. Net Zero came to Europe all right—as in zero energy. We were perhaps seconds away from nearly the entire continent going dark. Yet again, wind, solar, and other “renewables” proved they simply cannot generate the consistent power needed to keep a complex electricity grid stable. We've been warning about this for a while, and today we'll break down exactly what happened.The Heartland Institute's Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some “Crazy Climate News of the Week,” including the federal government scrapping the so-called “social cost of carbon,” NASA's climate-alarmism office above the Seinfeld diner getting shut down, and a newly minted map of climate anxiety.

In news that has climate alarmists in an even greater panic, the Trump administration is ending funding for the U.S. Global Change Research Program, the panel that produced the federal government's National Climate Assessment every four years.

The Net Zero project in Great Britain, so the country does it's part to stop climate change, has a true believer behind it in leftist Prime Minister Keir Starmer. But recent opinion polls show the public is starting to turn dramatically against it, especially when the economic costs become increasingly real. A London Times poll in November found that 92% of the British public viewed Labour's specific Net Zero plans—particularly the 2030 clean power goal—as unrealistic. Despite a foolish drive to “deindustrialize” the UK, force residents to buy expensive heat pumps, and reducing agriculture, the government's own Climate Change Committee frets that the efforts are woefully inadequate. Is the whole project in danger of collapsing due to the weight of its utter infeasibility? Or is that wishful thinking for the people of Britain and climate realists worldwide?The Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely will discuss this topic and more with special guest Lois Perry, the director of Heartland UK/Europe. We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including the closing of an EPA museum that no one knew existed, how clinical climate anxiety continues to rise, and how global warming is causing your dog to stress out.

Elon Musk's DOGE crew continues to shine a light on how our federal government operates, and it is exposing more climate grift than even the most cynical among us could have imagined. The latest involves the EPA giving failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams $2 billion to expand "clean energy by prioritizing housing, equity, and resilience." Her organization, Power Forward Communities, says it will install heat pumps, solar panels, EV chargers, and other "green" technology. Does Abrams have any expertise in this field? No. In fact, her organization incorporated itself with $100 in the bank just months before receiving $2 billion of our tax money. The Washington Free Beacon also reported this week that the man Biden put in charge of the EPA's "Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund" funneled $5 billion to his former employer, something called the Coalition for Green Capital.The climate grifters are being exposed, and the EPA is trying to claw these billions of dollars back. But how deep does the corruption go? We're bringing in Steve Milloy of the Energy and Environmental Legal Institute, an EPA transition team member in Trump's first term, to get a handle on it. The Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including a look at NOAA data showing the second-biggest month-to-month temperature drop since 2009.

The good news for climate realists and better governance in the Trump administration is piling up so fast it is difficult to keep up. As we covered on this show on December 6, a bit of undercover journalism by Project Veritas exposed a left-wing staffer at the Environmental Protection Agency admitting that he and others were trying to get billions of our tax money “out as fast as possible” before the Trump administration arrived in January and put a stop to it. “It truly feels like we're on the Titanic and we're throwing gold bars off the edge,” laughed Brent Efron, former “special advisor for implementation” at EPA. Well, new EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced this week that he has jumped into his submersible and snatched the gold bars ($20 billion) out of the hands of unaccountable lefty nonprofit “NGOs” and returned them to the treasury. The endless flow of our tax money going to environmental extremists groups who advocate against America's interest seems to be coming to an endThe Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely, will also talk about how the Paris Climate Agreement seems to be breaking apart, provide a media “Climate Fact Check” for January, check in on the continuing failure of EVs, show you what a “dying coyote” climate protest looks and sounds like, and more.DONATE to support the show. http://heartland.org/tcrs

Sterling Burnett, Ph.D., director of the Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy at The Heartland Institute. NJ Climate Lawsuit Dropped for Prejudice After Accusing Oil Companies of Global Warming

The Trump administration's efforts to dismantle the status quo continue, causing the right people to worry about their next paychecks. Nations around the world are coming to the negotiation table on subjects no one thought they would, while some very unstable individuals are attempting to incite violence in retaliation against Trump's efforts.The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and H. Sterling Burnett dig into these subjects, with a special focus on Elon Musk's DOGE and how a simple funding freeze and a small audit are making the entire deep state panic—while awakening average Americans to the true extent of wasteful government spending through groups like USAID.

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – President Trump's **“Unleashing American Energy”** executive order restores sanity to U.S. energy policy by prioritizing coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear over costly, unreliable wind and solar. Join me and Dr. Sterling Burnett of The Heartland Institute as we explore how this bold move secures energy independence and protects real environmental priorities. Tune in now!

H. Sterling Burnett, director of the Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy at The Heartland Institute, was a guest recently on the Bill Cunningham Show on WLW radio in Cincinnati. He was invited on to talk about Donald Trump withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement and the blizzard of executive orders he issued reversing all of the Biden administration's climate and energy policies.

Willie talks with Sterling Burnett of the Heartland Institute about the truth of climate change when it comes to energy policy.

Willie discusses the hiring of Al Golden by the Bengals with Mo Egger, how climate change policy affects the energy policy of different administrations with Sterling Burnett, and Wayne Allen Root looks at the first week of Trump 2.

President Trump wasted no time after his inauguration on Monday reversing all of his predecessor's executive orders that made climate alarmism and “green” energy the focus of American government. He didn't just reverse bad policies, and pull us out of the Paris Climate Agreement, he went farther than he did in his first term to ramp up American energy production and rein in an Environmental Protection Agency that regulated far beyond its mandate. Among at least 47 climate- and energy-related EOs signed in the first 24 hours of his swearing-in was one tackling what has long served as the keystone of limitless environmental regulation: the “endangerment finding” for carbon dioxide emissions. May we finally see the end of the EPA's abuse of its regulatory power?The Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely are joined by special guest Myron Ebell, who was on President Trump's EPA Transition Team for his first term to break down what these reversals of radical climate and energy policy will mean for America and the world.

Willie discusses the hiring of Al Golden by the Bengals with Mo Egger, how climate change policy affects the energy policy of different administrations with Sterling Burnett, and Wayne Allen Root looks at the first week of Trump 2.

Willie talks with Sterling Burnett of the Heartland Institute about the truth of climate change when it comes to energy policy.

Senate committee rooms on Capitol Hill were buzzing with activity this week as many of President Trump's picks for cabinet posts were underway. Three of the key hearings on climate and energy policy were Lee Zeldin for EPA, Doug Burgum for Interior, and Chris Wright for Energy. We hope you caught Heartland's two three-hour long “watch parties” with gavel-to-gavel coverage this week, but there's still more to examine. What did the hearing performances of Trump's picks say about how they will serve in their roles? Which federal agency of the three needs the most work to change its purpose? And can these appointments succeed in carrying out Trump's agenda in the face of a deeply entrenched federal bureaucracy that is opposed to almost all of Trump's major climate and energy goals?The Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will dive deeper into that topic. Plus, we'll review some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including a deep freeze that's on the way for most of the continental United States.

Historic wildfires have destroyed thousands of homes and businesses in Los Angeles County. Many homes of the rich and famous in Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Pasadena have been reduced to rubble and ash. Entire neighborhoods were completely destroyed, and the fires have been blamed for at least five deaths. The speed at which the fires spread caught firefighters and residents off guard. Fed by hurricane-strength Santa Ana winds, embers were flying through the air seemingly everywhere and with no let-up. Climate alarmists have pinned the blame on human-caused climate change, but that is not truth.On Episode #140 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute's H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely welcome U.S. Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) and CFACT's Chris Martz to cover the LA fires and some of the “Crazy Climate News of the Week.” There's been some fascinating news since our two-week hiatus, some of it good. Blackrock and JP Morgan are the latest financial giants to drop out of the Net-Zero Banking Alliance, Michael Mann experienced his first-ever setback in his lawfare against climate realists, and Biden tries to tie Trump's hands on drilling while also trying to ban some tankless water heaters on his way out of the White House.

He discusses the implications of these findings and presents his case for both executive and congressional action to address what he characterizes as problematic spending. Dive deep into this complex intersection of energy policy, government oversight, and fiscal responsibility with one of the field's leading voices. 

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.LINKSThe European Conservative: Are Net Zero's Days Numbered?https://europeanconservative.com/articles/commentary/are-net-zeros-days-numbered/CO2 Coalitionhttps://co2coalition.org/VISIT THESE GREAT CLIMATE REALISM SITESSUBSCRIBE to Heartland's Climate Change Weeklyhttps://heartland.org/subscribe/ClimateRealismhttps://climaterealism.com/Climate at a Glancehttps://climateataglance.com/Energy at a Glancehttps://energyataglance.com/The Heartland Institute's Climate Pagehttps://heartland.org/topics/environment-energy/Heartland's Climate Conferenceshttps://climateconferences.heartland.org/OUR STREAMING PARTNERSWatts Up With Thathttps://wattsupwiththat.com/CFACThttps://www.cfact.org/ClimateDepothttps://www.climatedepot.com/JunkSciencehttps://junkscience.com/

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.
