With Joe Biden handing off the presidency to "a new generation" in Kamala Harris, her record and public statements shows she is even more radical on environment and energy policies than her old boss. For instance, Harris thoroughly endorsed every bit of the radical “Green New Deal,” she pledged to ban all fracking in the United States, she has fully embraced the “Net Zero by 2030” agenda, and has called for changing the Am...

Climate change is a topic the Globalists have chosen to exploit. By teaching junk science brought to us by computer models, these liars have our population believing that if we just stop using fossil fuels, we will alter the climate. The rules and oppressive regulations they intend to impose are put in place for control and do nothing to alter anything except our wallets. Join H. Sterling Burnett as we discuss DEI, the cli...

A very telling exposé of a meeting between leading "climate communicators" appeared on Twitter last week. In it, pictures of a slideshow mentioned things like: "Worst messages tested: electric cars, Green New Deal, frontline communities, 'Big Oil lied', and climate pollution." Essentially, the meeting described why climate alarmists have failed to capture the public’s attention with their messages. What they discovered is ...

Yes, it’s that time again kids, panic the American people over heat waves by blaming them on climate change.This past week several news outlets talked about the “Western Heat Wave” and tried to link it to “climate change.” Climate Central was the source of most of these stories with a press release that said:

“Between June 5-7, much of the Western United States, Mexico, and Eastern Canada are poised to experience a period o...

Phoenix is hiring a "Chief Heat Officer," in response to rising heat related deaths, which the city blames on climate change. The truth is most of those dying are homeless or drug addicts with underlying health conditions, people already in poor health. As far as Phoenix's heat, that is due, not to climate change but the city's massive growth and related increased Urban Heat Island effect. Responding to homelessness and dr...

On episode 104 of The Climate Realism Show, we explain that to save the whales we need to kill these growing large-scale offshore wind projects. These so-called “wind farms” are much larger and do much more environmental damage than most people realize.
