With Joe Biden handing off the presidency to "a new generation" in Kamala Harris, her record and public statements shows she is even more radical on environment and energy policies than her old boss. For instance, Harris thoroughly endorsed every bit of the radical “Green New Deal,” she pledged to ban all fracking in the United States, she has fully embraced the “Net Zero by 2030” agenda, and has called for changing the American diet by restricting (or even banning) the production of beef. On Ep...

Climate change is a topic the Globalists have chosen to exploit. By teaching junk science brought to us by computer models, these liars have our population believing that if we just stop using fossil fuels, we will alter the climate. The rules and oppressive regulations they intend to impose are put in place for control and do nothing to alter anything except our wallets. Join H. Sterling Burnett as we discuss DEI, the climate hoax leading to climate lawfare. In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Th...

As the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee comes to a close, we look at the climate and energy platform of the party. Do they differ from Trump’s first-term agenda? What is the stance of VP candidate J.D. Vance on the topic considering Trump has tapped Vance to carry his MAGA agenda forward? To talk about all this – plus the Crazy Climate News of the Week – we have as our guest Steve Milloy of JunkScience.com who was a member of the EPA Transition Team for the first Trump presidency.

The weather is heating up, and so is the "climate lawfare" radicals are using to impose draconian policies that would impoverish the masses, and even put some people in jail. On episode #118 of The Climate Realism Show we will cover that story; plus say goodbye to Jim Inhofe, one of the United States Senate's stalwart opponents of climate alarmist policy and junk science; and poke some fun at the Crazy Climate News of the week.

Have you ever noticed that when it comes to inconvenient hard facts, climate alarmists either revert to calling you a shill for big oil, or block you because they don’t have the skills or the knowledge to refute your factual challenge? Well, we’ve got a list of 10 very inconvenient questions that they refuse to answer. Chris Martz, a meteorology student who has been successfully pushing back climate alarm on Twitter, so much so that he’s been blocked by Michael Mann, will join us with ten questi...

A very telling exposé of a meeting between leading "climate communicators" appeared on Twitter last week. In it, pictures of a slideshow mentioned things like: "Worst messages tested: electric cars, Green New Deal, frontline communities, 'Big Oil lied', and climate pollution." Essentially, the meeting described why climate alarmists have failed to capture the public’s attention with their messages. What they discovered is that lies work better than facts!

Yes, it’s that time again kids, panic the American people over heat waves by blaming them on climate change. This past week several news outlets talked about the “Western Heat Wave” and tried to link it to “climate change.” Climate Central was the source of most of these stories with a press release that said: “Between June 5-7, much of the Western United States, Mexico, and Eastern Canada are poised to experience a period of unusually hot conditions made much more likely because of human-caused...

Phoenix is hiring a "Chief Heat Officer," in response to rising heat related deaths, which the city blames on climate change. The truth is most of those dying are homeless or drug addicts with underlying health conditions, people already in poor health. As far as Phoenix's heat, that is due, not to climate change but the city's massive growth and related increased Urban Heat Island effect. Responding to homelessness and drug use will do far more to prevent premature deaths in Phoenix than effort...

The Heartland Institute has issued a report exposing the US government’s official land-based temperature stations as hopelessly corrupt and compromised .

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 ...

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 signific...

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 ...

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.

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.
