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

What Climate Science Actually Says vs. What You’ve Been Told It Says

Steve Koonin gives a talk at the ARC conference.

Some guy refutes what Koonin says, to some degree, here.

What the second guy does not refer to is Koonin’s description of how things get ‘blown up’ from science report, to IPCC summaries, to media reports. He also does not refer to the huge increase in young people’s mental health problems caused by climate change apocalyptic talk.

Met Office Remain Silent About Their Own Research That Undermines Their Agenda

Article here.

Excerpts:

Plain Language Summary

In the last decades, summer temperatures over Europe increased more than over other regions, associated with a reduction of particle emissions. In particular, the reduction of sulfate emissions over Europe starting from 1980 is associated with changes in the atmospheric circulation and an additional warming over Europe. Climate models reproduce this behavior, but with a magnitude much smaller than that of observations. If the outputs of the models are corrected to compensate for this underestimation, the increase in European summer temperatures becomes largely predictable. Our results highlight the need to take model error into account to estimate past and future climate change.

The paper was first published on 30th June and formally included in the GRL Issue 13 on 16th July. Yet weeks later, the Met Office still has not referred to it on its news website, blog or even its X Feed.

I find this astonishing, given their own role in the study and the significance of the paper’s findings.

The study, of course, undermines the Met Office’s theory that hot summers, such as the current one, are largely the result of man-made climate change, by which they mean caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
