The Supreme Court on Monday heard arguments in the most-important climate case in many years, perhaps ever. Suncor v. Boulder may decide whether climate activists can sue modern society out of existence, or whether common sense, the proper application of the Constitution, and science will prevail. The questions asked by the justices on Monday don’t look great for the alarmist side, but you never know.

On Episode #220 of The Climate Realism Show we will break down this monumental case with experts who can speak well about the case.

We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including the climate panic movie “Digger” shoveling Warner Bros.' money into a furnace, Virginia’s insane and environmentally destructive solar power plan, and debunking a so-called record wildfire season in the U.K.

🚨 Net metering forces non-solar households to subsidize wealthy homeowners' installations, and that's not a free market, that's a hidden regressive tax on everyday Americans.

💸 Did you know California slashed net metering payouts and solar companies IMMEDIATELY reported massive layoffs? Ask yourself: should your energy bill fund someone else's rooftop investment?

• 💰 Non-solar households subsidize wealthy solar owners
• ⚡ Backup power costs are NOT charged to solar panel owners
• 📉 CA reduced net metering → instant solar industry layoffs
• 🏛️ Rooftop solar would collapse WITHOUT government mandates & subsidies

From near-shortage to global powerhouse — the shale revolution flipped the script on U.S. energy FOREVER! 💥

• ⚡ 8 operating LNG export terminals (and growing!)
• 💰 Tens of billions added to the U.S. economy annually
• 👷 Hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs created every year
• 🌍 Exports reaching Europe, Japan, South Korea & beyond America went from importing gas to dominating the global market — and it's making us MORE secure and less dependent on Russia!

🙌 Do you think LNG exports are good for America's future?

No upward trend in Texas hurricanes. No upward trend in tornadoes. No increase in wildfires or acres burned. Our new Texas climate assessment is making waves, now covered by Katy Christian Magazine.

Editor’s note: A new Texas climate report is challenging claims that climate change is driving increasingly extreme weather across the state, pointing to historical data showing no sustained rise in 100-degree days, no upward trend in Texas hurricane or tornado frequency, and no increase in wildfi...

For the first time in more than 100 years, no hurricanes formed in the Atlantic Ocean from the start of hurricane season through September. This is amazing, and great news for people who live in Hurricane Alley in the US, but this is not what the climate alarmists promised us. Humans would be punished for creating global warming with an endless parade of larger, stronger, and deadlier storms. So what happened? We have a couple of meteorologists to explain.

On Episode 219 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also discuss some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including the end of quest to eliminate the internal combustion engine, a critical climate case going to the Supreme Court, and climate change putting humans at risk of more mosquito bites, bat attacks, and being mauled by bears.

🌊 Scientists Got It WRONG About Ocean Currents & Climate Change!

🚨 The ocean apocalypse they promised? It's NOT happening! Decades of satellite data reveal ocean currents have actually **SPED UP** by a small amount over the last 20 years — completely contradicting the doomsday models!

• 📡 Real-world satellite data vs. computer model predictions
• ⚡ Ocean currents INCREASED, not collapsed
• 🔬 20 years of data, zero cataclysm

Climate Models Are Running Too Hot — The Data Doesn't Lie! 🔥

🚨 SHOCKING: Real-world temperature measurements tell a VERY different story than what the models predict!

• 🌡️ Satellite, weather balloon & surface data show **FAR more modest warming** than CMIP6 models project

• 📊 Dr. John Christy's peer-reviewed research shows **actual warming is less than HALF** of what the models indicate

• 📰 Even *Nature* confirmed the **"hot model problem"** is real — so why are we letting flawed models drive trillion-dollar policy decisions?

The models are unverified. The divergence is undeniable. It's time to demand better science before making life-altering policy! 💥

The Climate Numbers That Threaten The Narrative!

🌍 Humans contribute just 0.28% of the total greenhouse warming effect. Less than a quarter of one percent.

💧 95% of all greenhouse gases is water v***r. Not CO2. Not fossil fuels.

🔥 96.6% of CO2 added to the atmosphere comes from natural sources: volcanoes, decaying plants, animal activity.

📈 CO2 started rising around 1850, before cars and power plants, right as the Little Ice Age ended.

Before you share the next climate panic headline, ask whether the math actually adds up.

It’s Climate Week again in New York City. Hollywood celebrities, titans of global industries, high-ranking government officials from around the world, climate justice advocates, and other assorted weirdos are once again raising their voice in unison to make us destroy our economies and do what they say. We will have a look at the goings on and determine if these are the wails of a dying movement, or if they are changing their messaging without letting go of their quest for power.



On Episode 218 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will discuss Climate Week with Tom Harris, executive director of the International Climate Science Coalition in Canada. We will also discuss some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including whether climate lawsuit money is drying up, how climate zealots are coming for your shower time, and an update on the disaster of electric buses.

On In The Tank's "farewell" episode, the panel (plus special guests) enjoys a completely UNHINGED compilation of the craziness coming out of the DSA and Socialist movement, while warning that extremist activists should not be dismissed or ignored entirely.

From energy policy to emerging technology and socialism and everything in between, Heartland Institute staff reflect on the most important issues covered by In The Tank and at the Heartland Institute at large, and discuss what's coming next for the action-tank... and how to save America.

For America @ 250, this week in 1776 American spy Captain Nathan Hale was executed by the British for espionage, he was just 21 years old. He was not the only spy active for the Patriot cause, they were essential to uncovering conspiracies and warning Washington's forces. Spies during the Revolutionary War were willing to sacrifice everything, even their honor and their lives.
[5:16 PM]The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, S.T. Karnick, Chris Talgo, Donald Kendal, and Samantha Fillmore will talk about all of this and more on this Final Episode of the In The Tank Podcast.
