The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo are joined by Linnea Lueken for episode 418 of the In The Tank Podcast. It seems like every day there is a new story that blows a whole in the climate narrative - a new study showing the impracticality of a 100% renewable grid, or an electric vehicle battery plant that requires coal power to function. We are told constantly by the media, politicians, and now even the Pope that we must change our lifestyle in an effort to combat climate change. Yet, most people don't care. These facts leave the ITT crew wondering: What would it take to finally destroy the climate narrative? OPENING CHIT CHAT AP News - Kevin McCarthy is out as speaker of the House.

If Donald Trump wins the presidency, just 13 short months from now, the left will take to the streets and set America on fire. In fact, they were poised to do so in 2020, but followed orders to stand down. And the Deep State, already working to ensure he can't win, will take even more-dangerous steps to stop Trump before and after the election. In this clip from the September 28, 2023 episode of The Heartland Institute's In the Tank podcast, Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, Justin Haskins, and Samantha Fillmore discuss whether this is an overly pessimistic take on the scenario. Or, just maybe, it's too optimistic.

This week we look at green energy, and a book showing how it will likely fail in the near future. Think wind, solar, and batteries can replace the hydrocarbon fuels that power our modern industrialized society? Green Breakdown shows why the Net Zero agenda―a forced transition to renewable energy―is costly, dangerous, and destined for failure. Using science, economics, and in-depth analysis, author Steve Goreham exposes the weaknesses in the planned green energy transition and predicts a coming renewable energy failure. Join our host, Anthony Watts, and weekly panelists, Dr. Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken, and author Steve Goreham as we look at the pitfalls.

Welcome to episode #2 of Davos Watch. This week, host Donald Kendal dives into a report by the World Economic Forum, analyzing the ways financial firms can pressure the agricultural industry into going "green." Kendal adds context into the failures of various "green" agriculture initiatives with real-world results, from The Netherlands to Sri Lanka. Topics: The Netherlands Nitrogen Restrictions: A dive into The Netherlands' push to reduce nitrogen emissions in farming and its unintended consequences. The move has sparked concerns, especially given the Netherlands' stature as one of the top exporters of food products globally. Fertilizer Restrictions: The episode sheds light on Sri Lanka's decision to go completely organic in its agricultural practices, banning the import and use of chemical fertilizers. The move has faced criticism due to the unforeseen challenges it has posed for farmers and the threat to food security. Justin Trudeau's Proposal for a Carbon Neutral Agriculture Industry: Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's proposal for a carbon-neutral agricultural industry. The World Economic Forum's New Report: The core of the episode revolves around the WEF's latest report titled, "Green Returns: Unleashing the Power of Finance for Sustainable Food Systems." Host Donald Kendal provides the problems with the WEF plan forcing the world to go "green," seizing control of the agriculture industry as a result.

After a summer of no landfalling hurricanes or tropical storms, this week we’ve seen a ramp-up of activity in the Atlantic, and a weak tropical storm named Harold provided some much-needed rain and temperature relief to Texas. Plus, there remain disturbances in the Atlantic that may turn into additional tropical storms and/or hurricanes. The big question this year has been the effect of warmer than normal sea-surface temperatures, and how this will potentially affect late-season hurricanes. We’ll answer that question and others in a special show this Friday featuring forecasting and hurricane experts Joe Bastardi and Stanley Goldenberg. Tune in LIVE for Climate Change Roundtable at noon CT on Friday, August 25 to find out. And be sure to leave your questions for host Anthony Watts, weekly panelists H. Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken, and special guests Joe Bastardi and Stanley Goldenberg.
