Live at 1 P.M. ET: We’re Winning! Climate Alarmism Is Losing Its Grip

The Heartland Institute

Is the media’s nonstop climate panic finally losing steam?

Major outlets are scaling back climate coverage. The Washington Post fired 13 Climate Desk reporters, NPR disbanded its climate desk, Politico is folding E&E News into its main operation, and the latest UN climate negotiations in Germany saw the fewest journalists in attendance in more than a decade.

Are these signs that climate realism is winning the debate, or just a temporary lull before the alarmists regroup?

On Episode #206 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, H. Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely welcome Anika Sweetland of the CO2 Coalition to discuss the latest signs of momentum for climate realism.

We’ll also cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including:

A UN plan to tax global shipping and aviation over greenhouse gas emissions
Claims that climate change is ruining our sleep
How China is exploiting the global climate agenda for economic warfare
And more

It falls under the “look grasshoppers” phenomenon.
Ad clicks.
Readers get bored, so give them something else.

And Stonehenge was closed because of the heat.
Serves them right for never putting the roof on. Typical UK infrastructure fail.

<snork> That’s a very good one. You might add that at least it has solid foundations.

Just stop oil donny made climate action the best economic decision

https://reneweconomy.com.au/its-now-a-no-brainer-fortescue-says-trump-has-done-more-for-renewables-than-anyone-in-100-years/

“What we’ve seen in the Strait of Hormuz, and I can’t believe I’m going to be saying these words, but Trump’s done more to progress the climate agenda in three months than anybody has in the last 100 years.

“This is not just a morality cause for climate change, it is economic, profitable, and a no-brainer,” he said.”I think there’s been a lot of talk, and we’ve been behind a lot of it over the last five years, but the world is now starting to open.”

Gas prices are now below what they were when the Iran military operation began.

Old news.

Twiggy Forrest of Fortescue is brain-washed with the climate mantra.

His attempts to implement “climate agenda” crap such as hydrogen, have FAILED monumentally.

He has caused a lot of economic damage to Fortescue’s share price.

He should stick to mining iron ore and stop wasting shareholder’s money.

Funny how things that according to LooserName, make economic sense, have to subsidized and mandated in order to have any market presence.

Agreed. You might add, whatever LN states, the opposite turns out to be true.

And the dopey guy in the second link has a dual cab diesel ute…

He certainly isn’t going to change to an EV in the Pilbara area. 😉

Until he does, he is just another mouthy hypocrite !

An Air conditioner is a heat pump with a reversing valve. Aren’t they pushing heat pumps?

That is not true. Underfloor heating is efficient because it uses low temperatures

In related news, most Americans report being inundated by suspected scams.

It’s much too soon to claim victory. There are still fanatic holdouts at the Tombstone on the Hudson. UNFCCC COP 31 is still going ahead this year in Turkey in December. There is still a mountain of CC research being produced by academia around the world. The MET Office in Exeter UK is still cranking out huge amounts of global warming propaganda. The Climate Research Institute of University of East Anglia is still a bastion of holdouts. What has happened among the major media is only a good start.

Climate change still has strong advocates within various socialist parties around the world. The Democrats in the US have not given up, and sooner or later they will be elected to office.

This is far from over. When they are down, keep kicking. They will only stop when they feel it’s personally humiliating for them to carry on with this farce.
