Senate committee rooms on Capitol Hill were buzzing with activity this week as many of President Trump’s picks for cabinet posts were underway. Three of the key hearings on climate and energy policy were Lee Zeldin for EPA, Doug Burgum for Interior, and Chris Wright for Energy. We hope you caught Heartland’s two three-hour long “watch parties” with gavel-to-gavel coverage this week, but there’s still more to examine. What did the hearing performances of Trump’s picks say about how they will serve in their roles? Which federal agency of the three needs the most work to change its purpose? And can these appointments succeed in carrying out Trump’s agenda in the face of a deeply entrenched federal bureaucracy that is opposed to almost all of Trump’s major climate and energy goals?
The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will dive deeper into that topic. Plus, we’ll review some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including a deep freeze that’s on the way for most of the continental United States.
Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET and join the chat to engage in the show with other fans.
This show will be archived in WUWT Climate TV, a collection of over six hundred videos, featuring new interviews and analysis, and covering dozens of media sources discussing, debating and analyzing the latest in climate science, climate politics, and energy policy, including topics concerning temperature, sea level, polar bears, ocean acidification, extreme weather, censorship, wild fires, and more.
“Three of the key hearings on climate and energy policy were Lee Zeldin for EPA, Doug Burgum for Interior, and Chris Wright for Energy.”
I’m a bit surprised and disappointed that Trump didn’t choose somebody new to head NOAA and maybe NASA’s GISS. I guess we will have to wait and see if NOAA and the GISS stop toeing the climate alarmist party line for the next four years while Trump is in office.
If Trump clashes with NOAA and GISS on the climate issue, it will be interesting to see what happens.
I bet they’ll change their tune- after all, burro-crats love their jobs.
That would be nice if it happened.
“You’re fired” would be better, but both are good.
“Lee Zeldin, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, expressed support for Trump’s climate and environmental deregulation agenda during his confirmation hearing. “I believe that climate change is real,” but Trump is “concerned about the economic cost of some policies,” he said. Zeldin also answered questions regarding plastics, chemicals and advanced recycling.”
Do we all have to speak in libtard code?
Yes, everyone knows that climate change is real using normal English language.
The hijacked term “climate change”, which translates to climate change caused by atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide above 280ppm apparently requires a belief system according to Zeldin. In other words, he can’t say “There is data that shows that carbon dioxide levels above 280ppm have caused any global effects on any climate parameter”. Everyone is in agreement on this, as no one can show any such data. So why do some people keep coming on here and jawing about it with zero data? Can we move on from belief systems please, and worry about real environmental issues, and stop destroying working energy and transportation systems with zero data?

I love this show…. 🙂 😀
… especially on a very rainy Saturday morning down here.
but please, please could you now remove Biden and Greta from the lead in !!. 😉
There is a strong surge in CO2 at every El Nino event.
Your plot is much more than that – it is:
PROOF OF THE CLIMATE SCAM One of the world’s most respected scholars, Thomas Sowell, on the “man-made global warming” scam:
“Temperatures went up first, and then there was the increase in CO2. You can’t say that A causes B if B happens first… But [the scientists] who are pushing global warming are doing their damnedest to make sure that those who believe the opposite don’t get heard in the public.”

Thomas Sowell is correct. Temperature goes up first and CO2 follows. True in the ice core record with a lag of ~~800 years, and true in the modern record with a lag of ~nine months.
The Catastrophic Human-made Global Warming (“CAGW”) Hypothesis is based on a false premise – it assumes that atmospheric CO2 changes drive temperature changes, which is incorrect. If CO2 was a significant driver of global temperature, CO2 changes would LEAD temperature changes, but they do NOT. Atmospheric CO2 changes LAG temperature changes at all measured time scales, as proved by MacRae (icecap.us 2008), and Humlum et al (Science 2013). Kuo et al (1990) made similar observations in the journal Nature that were ignored for decades. For Citations See “The Climate Scam”, by Allan MacRae, Amazon, B0CK1ZZY7T
The CAGW Hypothesis ASSUMES that the future is causing the past. The CAGW Hypothesis is disproved.
Our politicians have been willfully obtuse on this subject, probably because they have been well-bribed to go along with the climate/global warming scam.
They have squandered trillions of dollars of scarce global resources, and destroyed the lives of hundreds of millions, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa, by denying them access to cheap, abundant, reliable fossil fuel energy.
Yahoo! Drill, Baby, Drill!
Zeldin seems to accept the CO2 causes warming idea. He may need watching.
Anyone who says that atmospheric CO2 is a significant (or dangerous) driver of global atmospheric temperature is an unscientific imbecile who does not understand the Scientific Method, and has learned his “Climate Science” by accepting repeated claims of Pseudo-Scientific Propaganda that have no basis in fact.
You have been “missing” for a while, Allan.
Great to have you back 🙂
Thank you!
I’ve spent the past four years full-time fighting the Covid-19 scam.
Think of it as “Climate Scam – Phase 2”.
About 50 million people worldwide were killed by the toxic Covid-19 “vaccines’, and the carnage is not over!
I called the scam early, on 21Mar2020, but nobody listened…
