Climate Hysteria Update | Tom Woods Show

Interview with James Taylor, president of the Heartland Institute.

From the video description:

We cover the “97% consensus” playbook and why alarmists stopped debating the facts, why today’s temperatures are still unusually cold compared to most of the last 6,000 years of human civilization, and why recovering from the Little Ice Age is good news, not a crisis. Plus:

  • Extreme weather truth check: hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, and wildfires — including NASA satellite data showing 24% less land burned since 1998, and 2026’s record-quiet Atlantic hurricane season
  • Trump EPA wins: repealing the Obama-era “endangerment finding” and unleashing American energy
  • Why wind costs 7x and solar 10x more than natural gas when you count full system costs (Rice University 2022), and why electricity prices jumped 22% from 2020-2024
  • Nuclear power, Fukushima, and why the arguments against it are ideological
  • What the Obama EPA actually found on fracking
  • Energy prices and the affordability crisis
  • “Climate reparations” — why cold kills 19x more people than heat, why CO2 at 420 ppm is starving plants that thrived at 1,200 ppm, and record corn, rice, and wheat yields
  • Data centers, AI, water/land scaremongering, and why a low-tech future means China wins
  • Are we winning? Glacier National Park’s still-there glaciers, Kamala Harris dropping climate from the campaign, and that absurd New York Times oyster story debunked
