Climate Change Roundtable is now The Climate Realism Show. The same great climate news and analysis from The Heartland Institute’s world-class climate and energy experts, but a snazzy new name that gets right to the heart of what it is about.
On episode 100 of The Climate Realism Show, we look into the declining trends of the ESG. The Heartland Institute’s Jim Lakely, H. Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken, plus special guest, anti-ESG investment guru Don Harrison look at the madness behind ESG and why it is now failing to maintain momentum as investors back away.
Plus, we will also have our regular weekly feature, Crazy Climate News – where we look at some of the most absurd climate alarmism stories of the week. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET (12 p.m. CT) to get the latest news and join the chat to ask questions of your own.

Go ahead and make my day with an ESG target on your back.
ESG limits the diversity of funds investment strategy. Black Rock has closed several of its ESG funds on this basis. Exchange-traded funds investing based on ESG have not beaten the market over the past decade. There have been claims since 2020 that ESG delivers outperformance by steering investors away from poorly run and heavily polluting companies that are “winners” in the future. Analysis by Scientific Beta, linked to the Edhec-Risk Climate Impact Institute, shows that 2020 was unusual and, if anything, ESG ETFs have underperformed their traditional funds.
Black Rock recently admitted that investing based on ESG is a losing proposition. Vanguard, #3 in portfolio size, has always maintained investments based on ESG are a fools game and they are doing fine.

Imagine, if you will, a world in which the appropriate authorities, in the year 2000′ identified a 2023 target of a 10% improvement in miles per gallon. No billions of dollars spent on subsidies, actual improvements in the CO2 released, reduced pollution, reduced costs in fuel expenses for consumers and billions of less money funneled into Chinese government coffers. How could this not be better than the world we are living in now?
