Some States Fight Crazy Energy Policies, Others Embrace Them (Guest: Tim Benson) 08.09.2022 31:28
California is leading the charge on misguided energy policies that are both ineffective at protecting the environment and markedly anti-consumer. Other states such as Florida and Texas are doing the opposite, fighting back against energy policies and corporate efforts, such as ESG programs, that hurt residents. Floridians and Texans will benefit while California’s residents watch their energy and...
Connecting the Great Reset and Climate Policy (Guest: Charles Steele) 02.09.2022 32:47
Global elites at the World Economic Forum are using climate change and ESG efforts to push a great reset of capitalism. This authoritarian push will trample property rights and personal liberties in order to satisfy corporate and government elites concerned with how the world should look. Profit must be replaced by amorphous social and environmental credit scores with everyone assigned a biometric...
A Tale of Two Climates: One Real, One Imaginary (Guest: Bill Pekny) 17.08.2022 27:05
The climate was not stagnant before human carbon dioxide emissions. Rather, Earth’s climate is consistently changing across a variety of timescales. It has been warmer and cooler than it is today. There is no evidence we are in the midst of a climate crisis driven by carbon dioxide emissions. Earth’s present warming is similar to the warming experienced during every previous interglacial cycle thr...
The Inflation Reduction Act Won't Reduce Inflation nor Impact Climate Change (Guest: Marlo Lewis) 15.08.2022 46:30
The Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Senior Fellow Marlo Lewis joins host Sterling Burnett on today’s episode of Environment & Climate News. Lewis explains why the Democrats’ misleadingly named Inflation Reduction Act will likely add to inflation whilst doing nothing to prevent climate change. The main impact of the energy provisions within will be increased energy costs for Americans. Fossi...
Evidence Against a Climate Crisis 04.08.2022 10:40
Anthony Watts, senior fellow for environment and climate at The Heartland Institute, joins the Chris Berg Show to discuss the mountain of evidence indicating there’s no climate crisis. Watts talks about the inaccuracies that plague climate models. He then discusses how the temperature record is based on flawed data. In The Tank broadcasts LIVE every Thursday at 12pm CT on on The Heartland Institut...
96% of U.S. Climate Data Is Corrupted 29.07.2022 13:01
A new bombshell report found that 96% of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) temperature stations produce corrupted data due to purposeful placement in man-made hot spots. These stations fail to meet the published standards deemed "acceptable" by NOAA itself. This nationwide study follows up widespread corruption and heat biases found at NOAA stations in 2009, and the heat-b...
The Official U.S. Surface Temperature Record Remains Fatally Flawed (Guest: Anthony Watts) 27.07.2022 30:56
The temperature data sets used in official government reports making alarming claims about rapidly rising temperatures and dangerous climate change come from a fatally flawed network of weather stations. More than 96 percent of the stations surveyed fail to meet the National Weather Service’s requirements for quality measurements. As a result, the official temperature record is biased, being more...
Al Gore’s Scare Stories Fall on Deaf Ears 26.07.2022 18:09
After years of appearing as an “expert,” the public knows Al Gore spews false prediction after false prediction on climate change. He then labels those who expose how often he’s wrong as buffoons or terrorists. Gore is using scare stories to profit and gain power, and he’s doing it by trying to terrify the public. H. Sterling Burnett, director of Heartland’s Arthur B. Robinson Center on Environmen...
Socialism Will Not Win Despite the Current Energy/Supply Crises (Guest: Jay Lehr) 20.07.2022 21:06
America's current energy and food crises are not the unintentional results of misguided policies. Rather, the crises are the deliberate result of policies imposed to turn people into serfs, giving global elites more control over peoples' lives. Elites want regular people to beg for ever more government help. Fortunately, the people will eventually wake up. New technology and open markets will resu...
Biden and Company Created Today’s Energy Crisis, ESG Is Exacerbating It (Guest: Gary Stone) 14.07.2022 20:01
The statements made by the Biden administration and Congressional Democrats about the fossil fuel industry's dim future created the energy crisis plaguing the nation. Policies implemented that damage the industry reinforce and exacerbate the issue. Proposed corporate and government ESG mandates are the cherry on top. As Gary Stone of Five States Energy explains, America has the energy to be indepe...
SCOTUS Strikes Down EPA Overreach (Guest: Steve Goreham) 11.07.2022 31:24
The U.S. Supreme Court's majority ruling in West Virginia vs. EPA blocks prevents the EPA from enacting large-scale restrictions on carbon dioxide production. This is victory for eco-sanity since human CO2 emissions don't control the climate. The ruling is also a big win for the economy since fossil fuels are vital to modern life. More, the SCOTUS ruling upholds Congress’ role in setting major pol...
The Lies of the Green Energy Movement 07.07.2022 16:54
Heartland Institute President James Taylor was a recent guest on the Shaun Thompson Show on AM 560 The Answer in Chicago. Taylor was invited on the program to talk about the lies of the green energy movement, the truth about climate science, and the Supreme Court ruling that the Environmental Protection Agency has been abusing its regulatory power for far too long. In The Tank broadcasts LIVE ever...
SCOTUS Lands a Knockout Blow on the EPA 06.07.2022 1:00:42
Fresh off the heels of the Roe vs. Wade decision, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) just neutered the runaway powers the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) claimed to have. Referencing the Clean Air Act, the EPA has enacted regulations, fines, and other indirect means to essentially create quasi-legislation outside of the bounds of congress. This power wielded by the EPA was never...
How to Defeat the Global Green New Deal/ESG Cabal of Bankers and Politicians (Guest: Michelle Stirling) 30.06.2022 19:12
Michelle Stirling of Canada's Friends of Science explains that a decade’s worth of international efforts to end the use of fossil fuels has borne fruit through ESG mandates and similar policies. Crony capitalists reap the benefits while the modern electric grid perishes. Neither laws nor money can change physics, meaning if we want to improve the lot of the world’s poor and maintain our own standa...
