The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and Linnea Lueken present episode 446 of the In The Tank Podcast. In honor of Earth Day (Week? Month?), we are taking a look at the State of the Climate Alarmism agenda. How is climate change currently resonating with the general public? How successful are its advocates in getting climate action done? And what does the future look like for the climate alarmist movement?
