The EPA is moving to rescind the 2009 “endangerment” finding that declared CO₂ a pollutant—supposedly dangerous to human health, well-being, and the planet. Now that the public comment period is open, the National Academy of Sciences is rushing activist scientists into action to defend it. The usual suspects—Michael Mann, Zeke Hausfather, and others—are already whining, while media allies like AP’s Seth Borenstein launch their own attacks.


In this episode of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely—joined by returning special guest Chris Martz—dig into the coming “NASty Gram” on CO₂ headed to the EPA. Chris brings his sharp, meteorology-based analysis to cut through the noise and spotlight the facts.


We also cover some of the week’s most outrageous climate news: claims that “deniers” are refusing to die from heat waves, a school district ditching electric buses to go back to gas because EVs can’t be repaired, and why climate change isn’t dooming your bananas.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
