Climate Realism

In this eye-opening video, veteran meteorologist Anthony Watts exposes the truth about reported "unprecedented" temperature measurements. As governments and policy-makers continue to build their policies on the basis of an impending climate catastrophe, rising temperatures are considered a key indicator. However, Watts reveals that these reported temperature measurements may not be accurate. In his talk at the 15th International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC15), Watts sheds light on the inaccuracies in temperature data and presents evidence of corrupted climate stations. Don't miss this must-watch video for anyone interested in the truth about climate change.

Join us for episode 62 of Climate Change Roundtable, titled Embracing Petro-Masculinity” Yes, you read that right. The left has come with yet another ridiculous label to slur climate realists, or for that matter, normal people just driving their car. For example from a tweet this past week we learn this: “Scholars like Cara Daggett have long pointed out the intersection between climate denial and misogyny through the concept of petro–masculinity, which describes the way that fossil fuel systems uphold patriarchy, white supremacy, and authoritarianism.” Host Anthony Watts and expert weekly panelists H. Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken will embrace “petro-masculinity” 100% and point out that without it, the world would soon collapse. We'll answer your questions too! Set a reminder and tune in to join the conversation as we point out absurdity of this label and poke fun at the claims.

Every Earth Day, the media run annoying stories about how the young people of the world need to get the grown-ups in their lives educated about the climate and the need to take action. The world's youth have been brainwashed into believing that human activity is leading to a climate catastrophe, and we have to radically change our ways if we're going to save the planet. Here's a better idea: Grown-ups can impart their knowledge and wisdom in the other direction. Doing all these "little things to save the planet" is not really going to amount to much, and is not the end goal of the climate cult, anyway. They have much bigger plans in mind.

Join us for episode 61 of Climate Change Roundtable, titled "Joe Biden vs. The People - Reliable, Affordable, Power?” This week’s episode features a discussion of the Biden initiative on making power plants do carbon dioxide capture - a technology that is far from proven, much less practical. It is expected this will add significant costs to every power bill in America. Meanwhile, a recent national poll shows that people are seeing less urgency in the so called "climate crisis." The left's dismissal of the crisis narrative is most telling. Host Anthony Watts and expert weekly panelists H. Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken will discuss carbon dioxide sequestration as well as the latest poll. We'll answer your questions too! Set a reminder and tune in to join the conversation as we point out the folly of this plan and how it subverts the will of the people.

AFP did a "fact check" on The Heartland Institute's Climate at a Glance book, which we mailed to 8,000 teachers across the country in February. Their fact checks are not actually fact checks. They are opinions and projections. That's because Climate at a Glance is based on the latest climate data, not garbage computer models and alarmism. The reason AFP had to "fact check" a book that was distributed two months ago is because it is obviously breaking the alarmist narrative ... and our media cannot let that happen.

Earlier this week, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its AR6 climate change report. Expectedly, the report is defined by serial doomcasting and claims of impending catastrophe despite the growing mountain of failed predictions that are conveniently ignored. One of the most controversial claims made in the report is that anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main driver of temperature change. Real-world data has proven this false, yet it’s the main takeaway in each IPCC report. First released on Monday was the “Summary for Policymakers,” a section intended to guide policymaking decisions across the globe. The AR6 report continues to omit key information in favor of sensationalized claims that are easily refuted. For example, the 36-page summary doesn’t include a single mention of the logarithmic relationship between atmospheric CO2 concentrations and global temperature. Surely, policymakers should know that each unit of CO2 added to the atmosphere has a decreasing effect on temperature. The IPCC’s omission of this relationship implies that the warming effect of CO2 concentrations is linear, leading policymakers to overestimate the impact of CO2 emissions on global temperature and overcommit to emissions reduction strategies that are expensive and ineffective.

In the news lately has been a plethora of stories about electric vehicles catching fire, with some even spontaneously combusting. It has become a running joke on the Internet in the last few months. Now, joining flaming Telsas, we have E-bikes and E-scooters that are catching fire and burning down buildings. The culprit is Lithium batteries. And because a lithium fire is impossible to put out, as water only makes Lithium burn faster, such fires are almost impossible for firefighters to deal with. Is this worth the virtue signaling to own a "planet saving" vehicle? And speaking of virtue signaling, you'll never guess what we found out about ESG "environmental, social and governance" scores and what business is doing (or not doing) with it. Join Host Anthony Watts, along with our panel of experts Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken as we explore these burning questions in CCR #54, Friday March 10th, at 1PM EST/10AM PST.

In this episode of Climate Change Roundtable, we are going to look and the good, the bad, and the ugly things that came in the aftermath of the ICCC15 Climate Conference in Orlando. Spoiler: One of the good things that came out of the conference is the realization that a you woman of style, grace, and intelligence is stepping up to be the “anti-Greta.” And, she’s from Germany, so this will mark our first “international” edition of CCR. Also, some predictable, yet pretty ugly things came out of the conference too. Some people just “can’t handle the Truth!” We’ll factually impale those folks in a fun way. Join us at 1PM EST Friday with our host Anthony Watts, and our regular panelists Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken, for what promises to be a raucous and fun show.

While a recent devastating train derailment in Ohio does not appear to be ecoterrorism, it does remind us how easily an environmental disaster can happen, and have happened in the past due to accidents or ecoterrorism. Oil, natural gas, and various petrochemical products are transported by rail, trucks, and pipelines, but although pipelines have the lowest accident rate of them, environmentalists fight their construction. We'll discuss the failures of the current administration to address the Ohio train derailment, ecoterrorism, and ask why safer means are so often dismissed by supposed environmentalists. On this week's episode of Climate change Roundtable, Host Anthony Watts is joined by H. Sterling Burnett and Linnea Lueken to dive into the folly of wind energy. Tune in to Climate Change Roundtable live every Friday at 1PM EST 12pm CST.

Wind is among the most popular renewable energy sources, but the truth is, wind power really blows. On this week's episode of Climate change Roundtable, Host Anthony Watts is joined by H.

One of the most common accusations against climate change skeptics is that they are in the pocket of big oil and other corporations. These claims are often made without evidence and are used as a smear tactic to imply that climate skeptics receive dirty money. In reality, climate skeptics receive a negligible amount of funding compared to the vast amount of money invested in climate research and political causes. The argument is pointed at the wrong side. In a recent article titled "Politics, cash, fame: what motivates climate change deniers,” author Roland Lloyd Parry parrots the claim that climate skeptics are purely motivated by greed. In episode 50 of Climate Change Roundtable, Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken will explore the issues surrounding climate funding and why there is a disparity between reality and perception in the climate funding world.

This week on Twitter, there was an openly raw admission of why academia has descended into little more than intellectual tribalism. Climate change was at the center of the issue. This week on Climate Change Roundtable, former professor Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki joins the show. Dr. Wielicki decided to leave the University of Alabama, citing personal reasons, as well as the clear rise of wokeness and protectionism over truth when it comes to climate science. He said "I feel the profession…is no longer worthy of my efforts." Join us at NOON CST (1PM EST) Friday January 27.

Our global elite rulers don't just have delusions of grandeur and freedom-crushing plans to usher in a socialist utopia in which we all must live our lives as they demand and with no complaint. They also have insane delusions that they are almost like "extraterrestrials" who have come here to "save the planet." But ... it's not a cult. #WEF2023 #WEF #davos Attend Heartland's 15th International Conference on Climate Change, Feb 23-25, 2023 in Orlando, Florida to get the counter-arguments to the insane drivel of the WEF and Davos elite. Humans are NOT causing a climate crisis, and the planet does not need socialism to save it. https://climateconference.heartland.org/

In this Friday the 13th episode of Climate Change Roundtable, we slice and dice the worst of the worst climate claims by delving into the dark world of the "Exxon Knew" zealots, who recently produced a peer reviewed paper which is almost sure to backfire on them. Plus, we roll through "Climate Fact Check 2022" where the media made laughable claims about climate change, only to have reality and nature provide the ultimate smack-down. Finally, proving that climate policy lives in the realm of the undead, even though it's been previously killed, we discuss Waters Of The United States (WOTUS), a draconian control monster that the Biden administration has resurrected from the grave. Join host Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken and special guest Steve Milloy of junkscience.com as we factually impale these worst of the worst climate monsters.

Advertisements for electric cars and trucks are EVERYWHERE now, but it seems that few people are looking at the real challenges of production, operation and ownership. A new study from Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago shows that the implementation of electric vehicles has had almost a negligible impact on the consumption of gasoline - amounting to about two days worth of gasoline consumption reduction in the last 10 years. Essentially, electric vehicles have had negligible impact of the use of fossil fuels in transportation over the last decade. Meanwhile, there's a massive push to meet a "Net Zero" goal by 2050 by implementation of wind and solar technologies in the hope they will power the future of transportation. In this episode of Climate Change Roundtable, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and host Anthony Watts will discuss the futility of electric vehicles and the plan to power them in the future.
