Losing the 2000 election was the best thing to happen to Al Gore. He has since become insanely wealthy and admired around the world by peddling climate alarmism. Hollywood gave him an Oscar for his fictitious documentary An Inconvenient Truth, and (like Michael Mann) he claims to be a Nobel Peace Prize winner for his environmental activism.

Yet despite trillions of dollars in propaganda, there’s a sign that Gore’s message of doom is in big trouble: He gave a TED Talk attacking “climate realists” by name. That’s BIG, folks—it shows that the truth, the data, and reality are winning.

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and our special guest Lois Perry, director of Heartland UK/Europe, will cover some of the breaking and crazy climate news of the week from around the world.

Antarctica is gaining ice, defying the predictions of climate doomers. A BBC presenter is worried that climate scientists might be a monolithic ideological bloc. An environmental protection charity in Scotland is finally pushing back against wind power because of how it kills threatened bird species. And a “controlled burn” by our government betters turned into a raging inferno at the Grand Canyon that destroyed a historic building.

Is America quietly shifting from a nation of property owners to a nation of renters? In this episode, we expose the growing forces behind the decline in homeownership—from skyrocketing prices to the corporate consolidation of housing. How is this trend impacting society and the political landscape?

Plus, we dive into another urgent emerging issue: the rise of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and what they mean for your financial freedom.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal and Justin Haskins discuss all of this and more on Episode #502 of the In the Tank Podcast. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET and participate in the show in the live chat!

On this special 500th episode of the In The Tank Podcast, the team takes a look at Culture -- from pop culture like movies, to broader American cultural trends like national pride. Is the dominant left-wing culture finally on its way out? Or are recent flops just a a hiccup in some eternal progressive march? Should conservatives even participate to try to influence it, or is it a lost cause?

The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, Sam Karnick, as well as our special guest--the ever-popular Donald Kendal, will discuss all of this and more, on Episode #500 of the In the Tank Podcast. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET and participate in the show in the live chat!

The corporate climate-alarmist media is already turning up the heat—on your TV, not outside—by hyping a summer warm spell as a “heat dome” threatening “dangerous heat and humidity” across much of America next week. Yes, it’s going to be hot. It’s summer. But the data tell a different story: there’s no long-term trend showing an increase in the number or intensity of heat waves. And despite what they claim, carbon dioxide emissions don’t drive heat waves. That’s not to say human activity isn’t warming the planet—but not in the way they’re shouting from the rooftops. We’ll lay it all out.

In episode 162 of The Climate Realism Show, we’ll give you the facts you need to counter the inevitable media panic surrounding next week’s forecast. Plus, we’ve got a loaded slate of Crazy Climate News: U.S. residential solar is on the brink, the so-called carbon fingerprint just got smeared, and Philadelphia’s electric bus fleet is going up in flames—literally. You’ll want to hear all of it.

Tune in LIVE at 1 p.m. ET with Heartland’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, H. Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely. We’ll answer your questions, tackle your comments, and call out the spin in real-time—streaming on YouTube, Rumble, and X.

Riots are once again breaking out in California, stretching all the way to Chicago and East Coast cities. The National Guard is on the streets of L.A. to handle violent protests against ICE, and evidence suggests these multi-day protests are anything but organic. Similar demonstrations are planned across the country this weekend, aiming to counter a military showcase parade President Trump has planned for the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army.

The media can't be trusted to cover this fairly, which brings us to a bigger question: Is the "knowledge" economy falling apart? The mainstream news media, academia, and the scientific establishment are rapidly losing credibility in the eyes of the average person—and it may be well deserved.

Turning our eyes abroad, Trump says he struck a deal with China on trade. We’ll break down the good, the bad, and the ugly. And in the UK, the Labour Party recently levied new taxes that resulted in a quick and clear demonstration of the Laffer Curve—ending in less government income, not more.

The Heartland Institute’s Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick cover all this and more on Episode #498 of the In the Tank Podcast.

We get so many great questions in each episode of The Climate Realism Show that we decided to dedicate a whole episode to answering them. Well—all of it except our coverage of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, of course.

This week:

1. UN Secretary-General António Guterres is once again calling for censorship of climate realists

2. Another massive ship has been set ablaze and set adrift by EVs

3. Our atmosphere is getting “thirstier” (and that’s bad, of course)

4. And a Florida TV weatherman is lying about not being able to predict hurricanes because of federal budget cuts

In Episode #160 of The Climate Realism Show from The Heartland Institute, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, H. Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely are joined by newly minted meteorologist Chris Martz, who has been driving alarmists crazy on social media for years.

Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on Friday—and since this is a special Q&A episode, get those questions ready!

The truth is out:
COVID vaccines didn’t stop infection or spread.
So why did they push it so hard? 💸💉👀

26/05/2025

The story changes, but the goal never does: more government control. From COVID mandates to climate alarmism, the establishment keeps shifting the narrative to justify greater intervention. It’s time to expose the lies and champion personal liberty.

The American dream is DYING. Thanks a lot, Joe Biden!

Housing prices have never been this bad and you can thank Bidenomics. The new housing data says home prices are 7.64 times greater than the median household income.

Wow. "Electoral College changes could put Trump back in the White House."

Electoral College changes could make all the difference in the presidential election. Red states have added two votes and blue states lost two. That might put Trump in the White House.

Stopping Socialism's Justin Haskins just dropped his latest article for Fox News. This is HUGE: "Bidenomics strikes again: Shocking number of full-time jobs lost over past 5 months."

As the Biden White House continues to brag about the alleged success of its economic policies, government data shows the country is hemorrhaging full-time jobs.
