The Climate Crisis, CBDCs, & Government Control - Tom Nelson (THE Bitcoin Podcast)

"We need to go back to the basic problem is that there is no climate crisis. It's all a crock and nothing that we do. None of this control, all of this money spent, none of it's gonna prevent any bad weather at all in 2075 or ever."

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Tom Nelson. Tom is a climate and energy realist, and producer of “Climate: The Movie.” Tom and I get into a bunch of rabbit holes today from the climate narrative, to government control and CBDCs, subsidies creating market distortions, the intellectual elites and their role in pushing government narratives, energy, human flourishing, bitcoin mining, and a whole lot more.
