    California’s Bullet Train: Speeding Into Absurdity — The Climate Realism Show #222

    Environmentalists in California pushed for, and got approved, a ballot initiative in 2008 to build a bullet train from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Instead of flying, which is a sin against the climate, Golden State residents could settle into their seats, look out the window, and feel good about themselves for being “green” as they were whisked to their destination. It’s now almost 20 years on and not a single track has been laid despite $15 billion being spent. And what’s the biggest holdup? Some of the most-absurd environmental roadblocks you can imagine.   On Episode #222 of The Climate Realism Show, we will examine what might be the world’s greatest climate grift, the California train that even Gov. Gavin Newsom said may never be built in our lifetimes, as well as other Crazy Climate News of the Week. Now that the U.S. is getting out of the global climate grift, how much will temperatures rise? We will report on a positive “butterfly effect” not reported by once-panicked corporate media. And now that even the Labour Party has opened up the North Sea to natural gas drilling again, they say it won’t do a thing to reduce energy costs. Is that true?   Join The Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely and guest Lois Perry for another weekly, 90-minute dose of fun and spirited discussion about the climate on Friday, October 23 at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

    Crappy Feet: Penguins Cause, And Maybe Stop, Climate Change — The Climate Realism Show #221

    Remember when cows were destroying the planet with their burps? Now penguins are melting Antarctica with their poop. But wait! Other scientists say penguin poop might actually help stop climate change. So which is it? Should there be a federal program to fit penguins with diapers to save the planet? On Episode #221 of The Climate Realism Show, we will waddle into that latest bizarre climate headline and other Crazy Climate News of the Week. The New York Times is blaming climate change for the “gentrification of seafood,” whatever that means. The Washington Post is sounding the planetary alarm yet again, warning that Earth’s “vital signs” are deteriorating and climate tipping points could be around the corner. We will debunk that, and more. Join The Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely for another fun 90 minutes on Friday, October 16 at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

    Suncor v. Boulder: Biggest Climate Case Ever — The Climate Realism Show #220

    The Supreme Court on Monday heard arguments in the most-important climate case in many years, perhaps ever. Suncor v. Boulder may decide whether climate activists can sue modern society out of existence, or whether common sense, the proper application of the Constitution, and science will prevail. The questions asked by the justices on Monday don’t look great for the alarmist side, but you never know. On Episode #220 of The Climate Realism Show we will break down this monumental case with Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, who was at the Supreme Court to hear the arguments, and Steve Milloy, senior policy fellow at the Energy and Environment Legal Institute. We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including the climate panic movie “Digger” shoveling Warner Bros.' money into a furnace, Virginia’s insane and environmentally destructive solar power plan, and debunking a so-called record wildfire season in the U.K. Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

    Covering NYC Climate Week — The Climate Realism Show #218

    It’s Climate Week again in New York City. Hollywood celebrities, titans of global industries, high-ranking government officials from around the world, climate justice advocates, and other assorted weirdos are once again raising their voice in unison to make us destroy our economies and do what they say. We will have a look at the goings on and determine if these are the wails of a dying movement, or if they are changing their messaging without letting go of their quest for power.  On Episode 218 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will discuss Climate Week with Tom Harris, executive director of the International Climate Science Coalition in Canada. We will also discuss some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including whether climate lawsuit money is drying up, how climate zealots are coming for your shower time, and an update on the disaster of electric buses.  Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

    The End Times As a Political Weapon? - In The Tank #553

    The debate surrounding AI and whether or not (or even how) its development should be regulated is definitely heating up, with a flurry of mostly-Democrats coming out in favor of forcing a development slowdown in order to supposedly prevent a looming AI-apocalypse. Why are leaders from Anthropic saying they agree? Legitimate conspiracy and conspiracy theories abound, and the panel will discuss WHY this is happening, who might be responsible, and what the free market solution is. Also, President Donald Trump is floating the idea of giving every adult in the country $5000... if Republicans win in the midterms. We discuss whether this is a catastrophe, how to make it less catastrophic or even a good idea (difficult to pull off), and whether this is just blatant political bribery that is fundamentally different than other political promises. On UNHINGED: The fervor against the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial seems to have abruptly died now that everyone found out the juror is a black, Haitian immigrant who votes Republican. And for America @ 250: We go from a confusing defeat at Kip's Bay to a pyrrhic victory at Harlem Heights as the American Revolution fully enters one of its darkest moments, in the loss of New York City. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and S.T. Karnick, will talk about all of this and more on Episode #552 of the In The Tank Podcast.

    Massive Victory: EPA Power Grab Ends — The Climate Realism Show #217

    Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin on Monday announced the repeal of an Obama/Biden rule that regulated emissions of greenhouse gases from power plants with the intent to shutter all coal and most natural gas power plants in America. This was a long-time coming and the usual climate doomers are upset. This is huge news, but what does the repeal of the rule really mean for the environment and your wallet.   On Episode 216 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will discuss this news with Steve Milloy, who was on the transition team for EPA in President Trump’s first term. We will also be joined again by Heartland UK/Europe Director Lois Perry to discuss the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including climate change putting African rain summoning sorcerers at risk of being murdered.   Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

    What The Heck Is Dairy Net Zero? - The Climate Realism Show #216

    Net Zero, overall, might be dying in Europe. It’s being rejected by voters in seemingly every election in recent years, and even Democrats here in America don’t talk about it anymore when it used to be a pillar of their platform. So why is something called “Dairy Net Zero,” a green zombie from the Biden administration, still alive in the United States? We will discuss what that is, and why it has to go.  On Episode 216 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely are back LIVE with special guest Samantha Fillmore to cover that story and some other Crazy Climate News of the Week. An Obama economic advisor finally admits what we all knew: green energy mandates make energy more expensive. College football schedules should be adjusted because of climate change? And cleaner air is a good thing … except it causes more global warming.  Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

    How Bad Is Your State's Medicaid Program? - In The Tank #552

    September 11th, 2001, was one of the darkest days in U.S. history. Almost 3,000 Americans died, and it is not a stretch to argue that it changed the course of American life forever. While the lives lost were the worst impact by far, policy decisions made in the aftermath still hurt us today, many of which were foundational for today's powerful surveillance state. The panel will discuss their personal experience with the terror attack, and the bad policy that followed. Also, The Heartland Institute has released an important study ranking states based on how they handle Medicaid. Government is very fond of wasting your money, but some states waste less than others. We look at what the difference is between the top performing states, and the worst. For UNHINGED: One year after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, violence is still being celebrated by the left. It is ugly and vile and we're going to talk about it. And for America  @ 250 - This week in 1776, The United States of America officially gets her name. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and S.T. Karnick, will talk about all of this and more on Episode #552 of the In The Tank Podcast.
