Save the Whales, Kill the Turbines – The Climate Realism Show #104

April 05, 2024 22:42 - 1 hour - 62.1 MB

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 a...

Climate Science Is Being Subverted By Poor Metrics and the Pursuit of Consensus (Guest: Matthew Wielicki, Ph.D.)

March 05, 2024 22:59 - 43 minutes - 48.5 MB

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 be...

The SEC Lacks Authority to Mandate Climate Concern (Guest: Stone Washington)

February 12, 2024 21:49 - 33 minutes - 24.1 MB

The Securities and Exchange Commission is trying to become a climate regulator. 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.

Mann vs. Steyn: A Disgrace to the Profession – Climate Change Roundtable #97

February 09, 2024 21:41 - 1 hour - 64.2 MB

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. We followed the trial every day for nearly four weeks, and we can tell you that it ...

Climate Trial of the Century: Mann vs Steyn – Climate Change Roundtable #94

January 19, 2024 21:33 - 1 hour - 73 MB

After 12 years of delays, the defamation lawsuit brought by climate scientist Michael Mann and writer Mark Steyn finally began this week. Mann sued Steyn and others in 2012 claiming they libeled him when they mocked his infamous “hockey stick” graph that has been the lynchpin of climate alarmism for decades. Steyn compared the cover-up of Mann’s shoddy science at his then-employer Penn State University to the way the school covered up the horrible sexual abuse crimes conducted by di...

Biden Wants to Ban Your Favorite Appliances (Guest: Ben Lieberman)

January 10, 2024 20:28 - 26 minutes - 61.8 MB

In its obsessive pursuit of carbon dioxide emission reductions without regard to costs or freedom of choice, the Biden administration has conducted a regulatory assault on appliances, limiting consumers choice of appliances in a doomed attempt to control future weather.

Alarmists Continue to Hurt the Environment

November 28, 2023 19:23 - 7 minutes - 7.71 MB

Back in 2010, Fracking wasn’t as prevalent as today. More, climate alarmists were pushing hard to prevent it from ever taking off. A decade later, fracking didn’t have the dire consequences that alarmists claimed it would have. H. Sterling Burnett joins the Steve Gruber show to discuss the disproportionate response failed documentaries like Gasland get when compared to the very real threat the Right Atlantic Whale is facing due to offshore wind. Since sonar testing for offshore win...

Is EU Climate Madness and the Netherlands' War on Farmers Coming to America?

November 27, 2023 21:45 - 38 minutes - 34.1 MB

Europe is much farther down the climate alarm rabbit hole than the United States is. Specifically, the Netherlands climate goals have come increasingly at the expense of farmers. The policies have ended generations of family farms in one of Europe's most vital breadbasket countries in the name of reducing CO2 and nitrogen emissions to meet EU climate goals. Could it happen in the U.S.? Yes, if we don't carefully rein in Marxism in our schools and growing bureaucracies. 

The Truth About Electric Vehicles and a High Carbon Lifestyle (Guest: The Hon. Jason Isaac)

November 20, 2023 18:05 - 31 minutes - 31 MB

Electric vehicles cost much more than most people realize, with many costs borne by taxpayers and ratepayers hidden from public view. The true cost can be almost double the sticker prices when subsidies for electric charging and fuel economy credits are included. Despite this, they don't sell or function well. It's time to reembrace a high carbon lifestyle, says the Hon. Jason Isaac, the CEO of the American Energy Institute.

Global Food Production vs. "Climate Catastrophe"

October 06, 2023 22:06 - 1 hour - 61.7 MB

This week we look at agriculture, which seems to be constantly under attack as either being a contributor to climate change, or will suffer from predicted climate change catastrophic effects. But, the reality is far different. Despite a modest warming over the past century, agricultural yields continue to grow, setting several new record highs in the past decade. Further, despite media claims of effects from drought and heatwaves, crops continue to flourish.

Biden, Montana, Maui - 'Climate Emergency' Madness Continues With Special Guest Dr. Judith Curry

August 19, 2023 08:27 - 1 hour - 69.6 MB

It has been a crazy week in the climo-sphere. Fires in Maui were blamed on “climate change” by the media, only for them to find out that this wasn’t the case at all! President Joe Biden, after having a disastrous week of optics sitting on the beach while Maui burned, decided to fly there Monday. With the perfect setting for “disaster porn” from the burned city of Lahaina, he may finally declare an “official” global climate emergency next week. The Biden White House loves their opt...

Climate Emergency Declaration? Here Come Climate Lockdowns - Climate Change Roundtable #75

August 11, 2023 19:36 - 1 hour - 140 MB

President Joe Biden and the UN are likely to declare an “official” global climate emergency next week. All the signs are there. The chatter, and the behind the scenes maneuvering. The UN’s website now has a climate emergency page. Biden the other day stopped short, but when the new temperature numbers are issued on August 15by NOAA, that may be all the justification Biden needs. The “melting in Antarctica and the supposed subsequent sea level rise” will be another, and Lahaina in Ma...

Climate Uncertainty and Risk: Rethinking Our Response: (Guest: Judith Curry, Ph.D.)

July 29, 2023 18:30 - 32 minutes - 47 MB

In her book, Climate Uncertainty and Risk, Dr. Judith Curry describes how the climate science community has been captured by certain points of view concerning society and the desire for consensus, undermining its pursuit of objective facts. Climate change claims are fraught with uncertainty, only to be shrouded in secrecy for those who seek real-world data. The result is a society that bases it’s policy decisions of improper, and often incorrect, scientific assertions, rather than a...

Hottest Day in 120,000 Years? That's a Joke, Right?

July 25, 2023 18:22 - 7 minutes - 16.3 MB

Is a day this July the hottest day in 120,000 years? Of course not. Heartland Institute Senior Fellow Anthony Watts was a guest this week on KTRH Radio, Houston's Morning News with Sharon and Jim to debunk that ridiculous claim. Anthony also talks about how and why alarmists have changed the term "global warming" to "climate change," which means you can blame every bit of extreme weather on human activity. That's also a claim not backed up by science. 

The Frozen Climate Views of the IPCC (Guest: Andy May)

July 18, 2023 19:40 - 34 minutes - 79.8 MB

In its new critical review, the Climate Intelligence Foundation (CLINTEL) found many problems with the IPCC's AR6 report on climate change.  The IPCC made numerous false assumptions and flawed assessments, all the while ignoring key facts. The IPCC erred in its comparisons of present data with proxy data for past climate conditions, made flawed assumptions about climate sensitivity and emissions, and unjustifiably assumed nature plays almost no role in climate change. In addition, t...

UN Plans 'Climate Power Grab' Over U.S.

July 10, 2023 15:40 - 1 hour - 139 MB

This week we learned from Heartland's Justin Haskins that the U.N. is planning to seize global ‘emergency’ powers with Biden’s support. In the article, Haskins makes it clear that a so-called "climate emergency" or "climate crisis" will be one of the possible triggers for this, and with the upcoming El Niño likely to spike global temperatures, irrational panic will likely enable a power grab by the UN. Just this week, when there was supposedly the "hottest day ever" on the planet ...

Sticking It to the Mann - A Pushback on Climate "Scientist" Dr. Michael Mann

June 23, 2023 20:32 - 1 hour - 149 MB

Recently, hockey stick creator Dr. Michael Mann went on CBC to try linking wildfires and climate change, and the result was laughable. We'll give Mann the attention he craves with a thorough look into the decades of misdirection, ad-hominem attacks, and gaslighting few can reasonably call a scientific career. Tune in for a look into the infamous "hockey stick" chart, the media's portrayal of Mann at the time, videos of congressional hearings, charts Mann has defended, and more on C...

El Niño and the Coming Climate Madness

June 16, 2023 18:50 - 58 minutes - 134 MB

By making the official proclamation that El Niño has begun, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) just sent the corporate media into a flurry of doomsday predictions. Who’s fault is it? Ours of course. We blew past the so called 1.5°C limit set by the Paris accord. On today’s show, we'll hold up these apocalyptic claims to actual science, looking at historical data as a gauge for the “severity” of modern times. The true story here is that these pundits are fear...

Wildfire... Is Climate Change to Blame?

June 09, 2023 20:58 - 1 hour - 63 MB

During the past week, both the mainstream media and politicians chose to push a false narrative in response to the presence of smoke from Canadian wildfires blanketing New York City. In a predictable manner, they attributed this event to climate change without any factual basis. However, it is crucial to recognize that climate change was not the actual catalyst behind this occurrence. In today’s episode of Climate Change Roundtable, we scrutinize these assertions using the lens of ...

Rights Reclaimed: The Sackett v. EPA Triumph for Property Rights & Small Government

June 05, 2023 20:26 - 38 minutes - 89 MB

The Supreme Court ruling in the United States' case of Sackett v. EPA has emerged as a pivotal decision, significantly impacting individual liberty, the constitutional balance of power, and the containment of the regulatory state for the first time in decades. The verdict mandates that wetlands must be categorically "wet" and directly connected to navigable waters. As a result, landowners, developers, farmers, and other property holders now have clearer guidelines about whether they...
