  • Texas Flood: The Truth – The Climate Realism Show #164
    Jul 11 2025

    The tragedy on the Guadalupe River in Texas is as shocking and sad as it gets. A flash flood took the lives of at least 100 people, including many children, at a popular Christian summer camp held in the floodplain. Climate alarmists and ghoulish politicians were quick to blame both climate change and budget and staffing cuts by President Trump for the loss of life.The truth is, the federal agency responsible for issuing flash flood warnings did its job and confirmed it had sufficient staffing. Flash floods are a regular occurrence in the Texas Hill Country, with that very same floodplain experiencing a similar tragedy in the 1980s. The attempts to politicize this tragedy and use it to advance the climate agenda are disgusting and wrong.On episode #164 of The Climate Realism Show, we bring you the facts.The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week with special guests Myron Ebell and Steve Milloy.What changes are afoot in climate and energy policy thanks to the Big Beautiful Bill signed into law by President Trump on July 4? Why are climate alarmists so obsessed (and wrong) about bees? And Bill Nye is up to his tired old tricks again, blaming the Texas floods on our use of fossil fuels.

  • Physicists Debunk Net Zero: No Dangerous Warming from CO₂ - The Climate Realism Show #163
    Jun 30 2025

    Two of the most prestigious physicists in America have written a new paper explaining why greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by human activity — namely carbon dioxide — cannot cause dangerous warming on the planet. Based on their findings, Dr. Will Happer and Dr. Richard Lindzen urge Congress to repeal all Net Zero subsidies, all laws requiring GHG emission reductions, and all restrictions on fossil fuel development and infrastructure.

    Our special guest this week is Dr. Will Happer, who will break down how he and Dr. Lindzen reached this conclusion — and why continuing to push Net Zero without scientific justification is a recipe for economic disaster.

    On Episode #163 of The Climate Realism Show, Dr. Happer joins The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely to also cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week.

    📺 Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, and X — and drop your questions for Dr. Happer and the panel in the live chat!

  • Surviving the Coming Heat Wave (will be easy) – The Climate Realism Show #162
    Jun 20 2025

    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’ll answer your questions, tackle your comments, and call out the spin in real-time—streaming on YouTube, Rumble, and X.

  • Hurricane Season Preview with guest Stan Goldenberg – The Climate Realism Show #161
    Jun 13 2025

    Hurricane season has begun, and while it’s quiet so far, what kind of year can we expect? The Heartland Institute welcomes back Stanley Goldenberg—one of America’s leading hurricane forecasters—to find out. We’ll also tackle the week’s Crazy Climate News: Greta Thunberg’s latest publicity stunt, a proposal to nuke the ocean floor for “carbon capture,” Trump pulling the plug on California’s EV mandate, and accusations that The Heartland Institute is “undermining EU climate rules.” You’re welcome.

  • Straight Talk: Climate Q&A Marathon with guest Chris Martz – The Climate Realism Show #160
    Jun 6 2025

    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.

  • Climate Realism Gains Ground in Europe – Live from Budapest! - The Climate Realism Show #159
    May 30 2025

    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!

  • Climate and Energy in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill - The Climate Realism Show #158
    May 23 2025

    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. Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely, and special guest Steve Milloy LIVE at 1 p.m. ET for Episode #58 of The Climate Realism Show. We’ll break down the good, the bad, and the disappointing in the Big Beautiful Bill. We’ll also cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week and answer your questions in the chat.

  • SHOCK CLIMATE REPORT! Urban Heat Islands Responsible for 65% of Global Warming — The Climate Realism Show #157
    May 16 2025

    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. Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely, and Dr. Roy Spencer LIVE at 1 p.m. ET for Episode #157 of The Climate Realism Show. We’ll be answering questions in the chat for us, and for Dr. Spencer, on the show.
