In this new episode of “Climate Change Roundtable,” host Anthony Watts leads a thought-provoking discussion with Heartland experts H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Leuken, and special guest Ben Lieberman, Competitive Enterprise Institute senior fellow specializing in environmental policy. In 2023, the Biden administration launched an all-out war on home appliances.
The appliance regulations are ‘clearly being done as part of the climate agenda,’ according to one energy expert.
The Alliance For Consumers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting consumer protection policies, issued an analysis in October showing that popular appliances like ceiling fans, gas stoves, dishwashers, water heaters and refrigerators will all increase in price in the coming years thanks in large part to these policies.
This past week, a federal appeals court struck down the regulatory actions targeting dishwashers as part of the Biden administration’s aggressive climate and energy efficiency agenda.
And, like always, we’ll have Crazy Climate News of the week.
Join us at Noon Central Time (1PM ET) Whether you’re a climate enthusiast, a policy expert, or just someone curious about the different facets of climate change discourse, this episode will enlighten you.

Live by the sea?
Climate change is poised to make our coastal populations age sharply, study says
Scientists fear a ‘youth drain’ from coastal areas will weaken ‘vital’ infrastructure, including health care services, as rising seas lead to more dangerous floods
The median age in beach towns may spike by 10 years of age, as the young move

Climate migration amplifies demographic change and population aging
We project climate migration driven by sea-level rise through 2100 in the United States, incorporating fertility and gravity effects to capture secondary population processes, which we call “demographic amplification.” Failure to include these indirect effects underestimates the demographic impact of climate migration. The demographic amplification of climate migrants results in 5.3 and 18 times the number of migrants.

What they are saying is that only the richer older folks will be able to afford to live by the sea.
Anything else is garbage modelled claptrap.

My “dishwasher” is the same age as I am, and it does the job in 5-10 minutes. 😉
