President Donald Trump on Wednesday withdrew the United States from the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also announced that the United States is out of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for developing countries. The Trump administration also withdrew the U.S. from more than 60 other international organizations, including dozens of U.N.–linked bodies.

This is a breathtaking and historic move by Trump — something that was simply unimaginable until it actually happened. On the first episode of The Climate Realism Show of 2026, The Heartland Institute’s Jim Lakely, Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken will discuss what this means for the future of the global climate agenda.

We will also welcome a special guest, Lucy Biggers. Once a die-in-the-wool climate alarmist and prominent activist, Lucy came to see the light and the truth, and is now one of America’s best communicators for climate realism. We will talk with her about her remarkable journey.

On In The Tank Podcast #523, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T. Karnick break down the latest reminders that socialism doesn’t “fix” anything—it wrecks it. From political theater in Washington to chaos in corporate America, and from Venezuela’s collapse to what’s brewing in New York City, the panel connects the dots on how bad ideas keep spreading.

The panel digs into Democrats holding a candlelight vigil… for Jan. 6. Then the crew looks at a Hilton franchise caught in a PR firestorm after targeting ICE bookings, and asks the obvious question: when did basic law enforcement become a corporate punching bag?

The conversation also turns to Venezuela’s oil—why anyone still wants access to it, what decades of socialism did to the country, and why America shouldn’t be taking notes. Finally, the panel looks at NYC’s trajectory, including Mamdani’s tenant-power agenda and what it could mean for the city if these policies keep gaining ground.

The signs are all around us. The climate cult is losing its grip on our politics and culture. The UN’s climate conference, COP30 in Brazil, was a flop that even the alarmist cheerleaders in the legacy media could not ignore. A major paper justifying radical climate action was just retracted. The Sierra Club is shedding a shocking number of members. And when was the last time you saw climate alarmist propaganda shoved annoyingly into your favorite TV show or movie – which was very common not so long ago?

The Heartland Institute’s Jim Lakely, Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken will be joined by special guest Jason Isaac, Founder and CEO of the American Energy Institute and a former state legislator in Texas. We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including a new pro-coal movie with an unexpected twist, how to handle a climate crazed wife, a claim that living modern life causes $5 billion of climate damage an hour, and why Americans in blue states pay so much more for energy than those in red states.

Who We Are

Stopping Socialism is a website devoted to informing the world about the dangers, including the moral dangers, associated with socialism, communism, and other forms of collectivism. It is our belief that socialism, even when implemented exactly as its adherents want, inevitably leads to economic chaos, rampant poverty, and tyranny.

Stopping Socialism is supported and promoted by The Heartland Institute, a national nonprofit think tank headquartered in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The website was founded in 2018 by Justin Haskins and Donald Kendal.

In opposition to collectivist government policies, we support free markets, and we do so for two important reasons: (1) Free markets have been repeatedly shown to produce healthier, happier, safer, and more prosperous societies than those that are governed by bureaucrats, despots, kings, or other forms of tyranny. (2) When government inserts itself into markets, immoral activity inevitably ensues, because governments force people to live their lives in a particular way, often in accordance with the will of the majority. Minorities end up being abused, mistreated, and punished in such systems. At the very least, minorities are often forced to sacrifice their deeply held beliefs to satisfy some wish of the majority. For instance, to advance the goal of universal health care, the Obama administration attempted to force nuns to violate their deeply held religious beliefs by making them pay for contraception and abortion. Mandating people violate their religious beliefs is highly immoral, and it is an essential aspect of any Progressive or socialist governing structure. This is not to say the people who support such systems are themselves evil, only that their ideology necessitates extremely immoral actions on the part of the government.
