Climate Realism

In this new episode #92 of "Climate Change Roundtable," guest host Anthony Watts leads a thought-provoking discussion with Heartland experts H. Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken. This past year has been an unrelenting one in terms of climate alarmism, yet when you look at what has actually happened compared to what was predicted, there's a wide gap between the hype and reality. From wildfires to record temperatures, when you examine the data, it isn't alarming at all. Plus, we'll touch on the failures of Net-Zero and wind power, both of which took big hits this year. And, like always, we’ll have Crazy Climate News of the week. Join us at Noon Central Time (1 PM ET). Whether you're a climate enthusiast, a policy expert, or just someone curious about the different facets of climate change discourse, this episode will enlighten you.

Welcome to episode #91 of "Climate Change Roundtable," where we challenge the status quo of climate science narratives. Hosted by Anthony Watts, this episode features expert panelist H. Sterling Burnett and guest Steve Milloy of junkscience.com. This week, we had yet another shocking example of “scientists behaving badly” in the scientific peer review process. Today’s episode aims to shed light on how these incidents reflect broader problems in the field, starting with the postponement of the trial of the baddest actor of them all, Michael Mann, a central figure in climate science controversies. It seems climate science hasn’t learned anything since ClimateGate in 2009. Plus, we’ll have Crazy Climate News of the week. Join us as we navigate through these complex issues, providing a platform for open debate and diverse perspectives.

Just as COP28, the UN's 2023 climate conference, was getting started, the conference host, Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, got into a bit of an argument with former UN Climate Envoy Mary Robinson. Mrs. Robinson — who is about as elite as it gets in global climate circles —was obviously not used to being challenged on her assumptions that fossil fuel use must end if the world is to meet its climate goals. In the exchange, an interview facilitated by an organization "She Changes Climate," Al Jaber said he is not interested in any climate "alarmism," but follows the science. It's saved here for posterity, since Al Jaber has since "walked back" his statements, even though everything he said about climate and fossil fuels and who needs to sacrifice to save the planet is spot on.

This week on "Climate Change Roundtable," host Anthony Watts and panelist H. Sterling Burnett will delve into the big report issued by the Biden Administration - NCA5, or the National Climate Assessment #5. The media went ballistic over this report, with CNN claiming, "No place in the US is safe from the climate crisis, but a new report shows where it's most severe." Similar claims were echoed by other media outlets, yet when you scrutinize the data, these claims are unsupported. Joining us will be James Taylor, president of The Heartland Institute and an expert in policy analysis, as we dissect this lunacy. Tune into "Climate Change Roundtable #88." We'll be discussing National Climate Report #5, addressing The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Additionally, we'll cover the week's craziest climate news and answer your questions.

On Climate Change Roundtable, we take a stand against selective information portrayal, examining the contexts often omitted in mainstream climate discussions. This week, we’re covering the go-to media narrative parroted after every summer as well as discussing a surprising tweet from Michael Mann, creator of the discredited hockey stick chart. Segment 1: The Hottest Summer: But at What Scale? The media has been quick to dub this the 'hottest summer on record', but what does that truly mean in the vast timeline of Earth's climatic history? The referenced record composes the last 150 years, a misleading statement outright. And during this time, Earth is recovering from the Little Ice Age, further skewing the data. When you look at the Earth’s entire history, temperatures are well within norms. We discuss issues with the temperature record, misleading language, and highlight objective data. Segment 2: Media Alarmism: An Unexpected Ally in Michael Mann When figures like Michael Mann, known for the aforementioned hockey stick chart, begin to voice concerns about the media's alarmist take on climate change, it's an indicator that the discourse might be veering off course. We'll discuss his recent tweet that underscores the exaggerated stance of corporate media on climate-related issues. So check out episode 84 of "Climate Change Roundtable," with host Anthony Watts, panelists H. Sterling Burnett and Jim Lakely, and special guest Marc Morano, founder of ClimateDepot.com.

Join us for a special episode of Climate Change Roundtable titled, "Global Greening - the Good Kind of Green." Dive deep into the benefits of global greening and discover how increasing atmospheric CO2 is leading to enhanced plant growth globally. This week's guests are Patrick Moore and William Happer, two of the most distinguished scientists in their fields. Patrick Moore, not just a co-founder of Greenpeace but also an environmentalist with over 40 years of dedication, has been a vocal advocate for sound environmental practices his entire career. His key achievements include leading campaigns against whaling and exposing the anti-human agenda of the organization he co-founded, Greenpeace. Mooreleft the organization due to differences in beliefs, feeling that Greenpeace had shifted from a science-based approach to one driven by sensationalism and politics. William Happer, a distinguished physicist from Princeton, has been recognized for his groundbreaking research in atomic physics, optics, and atmospheric science. He served as the Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics at Princeton University and has been a prominent figure in the U.S. Department of Energy.

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.

It has been a crazy week in the climo-sphere. Fires in Maui were blamed on “climate change” by the media, only to find that that wasn’t the case at all, even causing some media to back off! President Joe Biden, after having a disastrous week of optics sitting on the beach while Maui burned, decided he’ll fly there Monday. With the perfect setting for “disaster porn” from the burned city of Lahaina, he may finally declare an “official” global climate emergency next week. The White House loves optics, leaving this well within the realm of possibility. A bunch of kids in Montana (well, actually their handlers) filed a climate lawsuit against the state citing the Montana constitution provision for a clean environment. They just won, arguing with exaggerations and cherry-picked data. Special guest, Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry will discuss her role in defending that lawsuit and her observations.

Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken, and special guest Dr. Judith Curry.

President Joe Biden and the UN are likely to declare an “official” global climate emergency next week. All the signs are there. The chatter, and the behind the scenes maneuvering. The UN’s website now has a climate emergency page. Biden the other day stopped short, but when the new temperature numbers are issued on August 15by NOAA, that may be all the justification Biden needs. The “melting in Antarctica and the supposed subsequent sea level rise” will be another, and Lahaina in Maui burning to the ground will be cited as yet another. If Biden declares a climate emergency, will climate lockdowns follow? History suggests “yes.” In a plausible scenario, we could see gas rationing, restrictions on electricity use, and limits on air travel. Enjoy steaks? Well, you can forget those. But what is the truth about Antarctica ice and Maui fires? Tune in LIVE at noon CT on Friday, August 11 to find out. Host Anthony Watts and Heartland’s H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Donald Kendal will discuss it all, and more.

In this issue of Climate Change Roundtable #74 we will be heading across the pond to the UK to look at the results of a joint poll conducted by YouGov, CAR26, and the Heartland Institute.

The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released it's sixth assessment report back in 2021. It still serves as the basis as many politicians use climate change as the justification to try and pass increasingly restrictive laws on society. However, Andy May of the Climate Intelligence Foundation (CLINTEL) found many problems with the IPCC's sixth assessment report. It made numerous false assumptions and flawed assessments, while ignoring facts and research that is should have considered in its report. May also found that The IPCC erred in its comparisons of present data with proxy data for past climate conditions, make flawed assumptions about climate sensitivity and emissions, and unjustifiably assumed nature plays not significant role in climate change. In addition, the IPCC ignored or downplayed the tremendous benefits to human life of present climate change.

This week we learned from Heartland's Justin Haskins that The U.N. Is Planning To Seize Global ‘Emergency’ Powers With Biden’s Support. In the article, Haskins makes it clear that a so-called "climate emergency" or "climate crisis" will be one of the possible triggers for this, and with the upcoming El Niño likely to spike global temperatures, irrational panic will likely enable a power grab by the UN. Just this week, when there was supposedly the "hottest day ever" on the planet (it wasn't, even NOAA couldn't confirm it), U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the latest numbers help prove “that climate change is out of control.” Tune in to the show for a review of this madness. We'll also take a look at some of the silliest climate news of the week, including the so-called "hottest day ever" that coulda, sorta, mighta happened this week!
