An encouraging trend is growing. Bright young people who were convinced of the truth of climate alarmist dogma open their eyes and mind to the actual data on the climate. Then they become climate realists, and even evangelists for science and truth. Anika Sweetland is one of those people. She is a former energy advisor with a degree in climate studies who gave an address on her awakening at Heartland’s World Prosperity Forum last month. And she’s one of the UK’s best public opponents of that country’s Net Zero policy and keeps a keen eye on the climate communism of the European Union.
Anika joins us to talk about her journey, and also comment on some of the Crazy Climate News of the week, including a proposal to chop down boreal forests in the far north and throw the wood into the Arctic Ocean, how stupid and counterproductive California’s aversion to oil refining really is, and how the European Union may be poised to make countering the climate alarmist narrative illegal.
Join The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest Anika Sweetland LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook. Participate in the show by leaving your comments and questions in the chat.

“a degree in climate studies”
Oh boy… I hope she’s adaptable… some of the best scientists I’ve met were philosophers and sociologists by education… two of the best engineers I’ve met were physicists by education… but oh boy, I translate “climate studies” to “politicized (is that redundant?) ecology”.
Simple question but what do you study (learn) with a degree in “Climate Studies?” While no offense to the need for multidisciplinary analyses or those few of ‘genius’ caliber, I recall when there was concern about teaching oceanography in high school. It is similarly broad like climatology and difficult enough for undergraduates. Similar problems with ecology requiring the not always so simple basics.
mamason210….Graph of theoretical response to CO2 is shown at the beginning of the show.
There is now room for the Orcas in the Arctic sea….
In the LIA they were driven out because there was too much sea ice.
As an Orca you win some you lose some with the dooming-
Under Bass Strait’s surface lies a vast land humans once called home

Oh God noooooooo! Not the CO2 gobbling the salt-
The Southern Indian Ocean is rapidly losing salt, scientists warn of global ripple effects
Break it to me gently sitting down. What were Abel Tasman’s readings?
