Climate Scientist Fired. Was It For Countering the Narrative? — The Climate Realism Show #210
5d ago01:30:58Tap to summarizeOne of Denmark’s most internationally recognized climate researchers, Dr. Henrik Svensmark, was just sacked from his long-time position at the Technical University of Denmark. Unlike many climate scientists, Svensmark conducted actual science experiments, and his work on the effects cosmic rays and clouds have on the climate was leading edge. He was fired after years of moves that look like they were purposely trying to push him out. What happened? Is it because his work didn’t support the alarmist climate narrative? We will have Dr. Svensmark on the program to get the story directly from him.On Episode 210 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely and Henrik Svensmark will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week. Is climate change ruining summers for kids? Can wind farms help real farms? Is the best way to fight Net Zero through comedy?Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

I Am The Science! Fauci Lied, People Died - In The Tank #547
1w ago01:34:18Tap to summarizeAnthony Fauci was recently hauled before the Senate to explain his role in the COVID 19 pandemic, and the multitude of lies he told as head of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and advisor to the president. He pleaded the fifth more than 100 times during the hearing, refusing to answer pointed questions. Next steps are as unclear as his tenure, his reasoning for seeming to protect China has been left unstated, and the scale of his corruption is hard to quantify.Meanwhile, the FCC has delivered a blow to China's AI and robotics industry by BANNING Chinese-made advanced robotics.On UNHINGED: Mamdani suggests that cash reparations might be doled out over slavery. Somehow.And for America @ 250, with all the drama surrounding Fauci, we're going to take a look at disease and epidemiology during the Revolution.The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo will talk about all of this and more on Episode #546 of the In The Tank Podcast.Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.Visit our sponsor, Advisor Metals: https://climaterealismshow.com/metalsSHOW NOTES:1.

Blame Canada! Smoky Skies and Climate Change — The Climate Realism Show #209
2w ago01:42:02Tap to summarizeWildfires in Canada have become a major story in the US because the smoke from those fires have traveled a very long way, covering the skies of cities in the Upper Midwest as far south as Chicago, over nearly all of Michigan, and to major population centers in the Northeast. Much media coverage blames the fires on human-caused climate change. But what does the actual data say?On Episode 209 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely Heartland UK/Europe’s Lois Perry will debunk some myths about the fire and also talk about other Crazy Climate News of the Week. The UK is poised to turn off people’s heat pumps right when they need them in the cold of winter. Are rolling blackouts coming to the US because of over-reliance on so-called “green” energy? And we’ll look at how much typhoons hate solar power.Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

Our Elections Are In Peril! - In The Tank Podcast #546
2w ago01:35:25Tap to summarizePresident Trump revealed that China has been interfering with our elections, especially the fraught 2020 election, in a speech that the mainstream media attempted to debunk before they even had the details. Trump brought receipts, and then as if to re-emphasize his point about election integrity, another bombshell dropped: illegals have been voting in New Jersey elections. The panel will discuss how to prevent these egregious problems with our election system, how to harden it against attacks, and how deep this all may go.On UNHINGED: Representative Jasmine Crockett says the reason people were rooting for Spain in the World Cup... was racism.And for USA @250 - In 1776, the first draft of the Pennsylvania constitution quickly highlighted why too much Democracy can be a bad thing.The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and S.T.

Housing Act Held Hostage Until Save America Is Passed — In the Tank Podcast #542
Jun 2501:19:02Tap to summarizeTrump is refusing to sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act unless lawmakers first pass the SAVE AMERICA Act, which Trump says is far more important. There is a lot of skepticism about whether or not the now-hostage Housing Act is a good idea anyway, the panel discusses the nuances. On another issue, Trump has also said that the administration is working on a National Right to Carry bill, but again, there are potential issues down the road from this approach. Gun rights advocates say its a step in the right direction, but doesn't affirm Constitutional rights to bear arms strongly enough to end state-level infringements.For our Countdown to 250, we discuss this week in 1776, how colonies were feeling about breaking from the British in the week leading up to the Declaration of Independence.And on UNHINGED: New York City Congressional elections have been swept by socialist candidates, they are far more extreme than anyone Democrats have ever platformed.The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and S.T.

Elon Musk, Trillionaire — In the Tank Podcast #541
Jun 1801:33:12Tap to summarizeOne would think a major terror attack just occurred on U.S. soil, for all the reactions that Democrats and socialist friends are having to the news that Elon Musk's net worth just hit a trillion dollars. He is the first person in history to make that mark, and leftist progressives absolutely hate it. We will discuss the politics of ENVY, and how poisonous jealousy is to society and the economy.Also, as the World Cup continues in the United States, many visiting Europeans are finding themselves loving American culture and community, reality is refuting the scary picture painted by their own media.American communities have always been loyal and close-knit, as the history of the "Midnight Ride" network of Paul Revere and his fellow messengers shows us. For our Countdown to 250 segment, we discuss the trust and coordination it took to make their mission a success.On UNHINGED: Lefties lose it over Elon Musk's trillionaire status.The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, S.T. Karnick, and Chris Talgo talk about all of this and more on Episode #541 of the In The Tank Podcast.

Jun 1201:29:24Tap to summarizeOcean temps are rising in the tropical Pacific Ocean, a natural and regular phenomenon called El Niño. Climate modelers say this year's could be one of the biggest ever, and some have nicknamed it "Godzilla El Niño!" That's a fun name, but what can we expect in this El Niño cycle? The Climate Realism Show's Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest Lois Perry will talk about that. We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including: global airlines giving up on their always absurd NetZero by 2050 goal, giant fire tornadoes to clean up oil spills, Democrats backing off their pledges to stop oil and gas in the face of higher fuel costs, and will Trump's Endangerment Finding repeal soon also apply to power plants?

Social Security Insolvency by 2032 — In the Tank Podcast #540
Jun 1101:25:49Tap to summarizeSocial Security trustees predict the retirement trust fund is now projected to run dry a full year earlier than previously forecast, in just 2032. What got us here, and what does Congress need to do about it? Can we keep pushing insolvency forward forever?And: where does good government end and dangerous negligence begin? The Belfast riots are the latest example of a Western government that suppressed legitimate debate about immigration and crime, and now things are boiling over.Finally, related to our main topic but separated by over 250 years: the Intolerable Acts of 1774 pushed the colonies past the breaking point, despite an attempt at reconciliation in the Olive Branch Petition, which King George ultimately refused to even read.And on UNHINGED: Democrat staffers scrambling to spin the Platner story are making it so much worse. You almost have to feel bad for them.The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, S.T. Karnick, and Chris Talgo will talk about all of this and more on Episode #540 of the In The Tank Podcast.Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.Visit our sponsor, Advisor Metals: https://climaterealismshow.com/metals In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institute YouTube channel.

Jun 601:19:56Tap to summarizeSummer has arrived in Europe a little early this year and alarmists in the media say it’s unprecedented, dangerous, all because of climate change.
