10 Questions Climate Doomers Can't or Won't Answer
July 08, 2024 15:29 - 1 hour - 77.5 MBHave 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 ...
Climate Alarmist Messaging Decoded: Lies Work
July 01, 2024 14:09 - 1 hour - 67 MBA 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! Steve Milloy of junkscienc...

Creation of "chief heat officers" in Arizona
June 11, 2024 16:03 - 33 minutes - 26 MBPhoenix 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 Phoeni...

Is EU Climate Madness and the Netherlands' War on Farmers Coming to America?
November 27, 2023 21:45 - 38 minutes - 34.1 MBEurope 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 MBElectric vehicles cost much more than most people realize, with many costs borne by taxpayers and ratepayers hidden from public view.
