In news that has climate alarmists in an even greater panic, the Trump administration is ending funding for the U.S. Global Change Research Program, the panel that produced the federal government’s National Climate Assessment every four years. Several officials in the office have reportedly been fired, and Trump’s NASA has canceled the contract with the firm that coordinates the production of the National Climate Assessment. Defenders of the program say the report has been a “comprehensive look at climate change,” but has that ever been true? The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will discuss this topic and also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week.

The Net Zero project in Great Britain, so the country does it’s part to stop climate change, has a true believer behind it in leftist Prime Minister Keir Starmer. But recent opinion polls show the public is starting to turn dramatically against it, especially when the economic costs become increasingly real. A London Times poll in November found that 92% of the British public viewed Labour’s specific Net Zero plans—particularly the 2030 clean power goal—as unrealistic. Despite a foolish drive to “deindustrialize” the UK, force residents to buy expensive heat pumps, and reducing agriculture, the government’s own Climate Change Committee frets that the efforts are woefully inadequate. Is the whole project in danger of collapsing due to the weight of its utter infeasibility? Or is that wishful thinking for the people of Britain and climate realists worldwide? The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely will discuss this topic and more with special guest Lois Perry, the director of Heartland UK/Europe. We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including the closing of an EPA museum that no one knew existed, how clinical climate anxiety continues to rise, and how global warming is causing your dog to stress out.

The scientific community and the media are focused almost exclusively by how greenhouse gas emissions affect the climate — from power plants to automobiles to your fireplace to your gas stove, and even cow farts. But what about that big ball of gas in the sky? Why does it get short shrift when it comes to the causes of climate change? The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely will discuss this topic, asked for by many of the show’s fans, with one of the leading solar and climate experts in the world: Dr. Willie Soon. We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including a global warming conference that got snowed in, how climate change is affecting your naps, a promise by the crazies in Just Stop Oil to cease all its childish “direct action” to save the planet, and a debunking of human-caused climate change causing cherry blossoms to bloom too early.

The other day, Donald Kendall, director of the Glenn C. Haskins Emerging Issues Center at the Heartland Institute, was a guest on the Shawn Thompson Show on AM 560 The Answer in Chicago. Donald is a regular guest on Sean's show and was invited on this time to talk about a new heartlands to paper titled The High Cost of Green Scams, assessing the Green Giveaways in the Inflation Reduction Act [https://heartland.org/publications/the-high-costs-of-climate-scams-assessing-the-green-giveaways-in-the-inflation-reduction-act/]. Donald details how the whole thing was a scheme designed to enrich the politically connected. It had nothing to do with fighting climate change, let alone reducing inflation. Have a listen.

The new EPA administrator, Lee Zeldin, dropped the Mother of All Bombs this week on the radical environmental agenda that has dominated Washington, DC since the start of the Obama administration. If it holds, the impact will be devastating. The Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett and Jim Lakely are joined by SPECIAL GUESTS Matthew M. Wielicki, Ph.D.—an earth science professor-in-exile from “official” academia at the University of Alabama—and Steve Milloy, who served in Trump’s EPA Transition Team in his first presidency.
