Jail Anthony Fauci! — In the Tank Podcast Clip
The Heartland Institute views August 1, 2026 10:40 am
One of Denmark’s most internationally recognized climate researchers, Dr. Henrik Svensmark, was just sacked from his long-time position at the Technical University of Denmark. Unlike many climate scientists, Svensmark conducted actual science experiments, and his work on the effects cosmic rays and clouds have on the climate was leading edge. He was fired after years of moves that look like they were purposely trying to push him out. What happened? Is it because his work didn’t support the alarmist climate narrative? We will have Dr. Svensmark on the program to get the story directly from him. On Episode 210 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely and Henrik Svensmark will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week. Is climate change ruining summers for kids? Can wind farms help real farms? Is the best way to fight Net Zero through comedy? Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

Climate Scientist Fired. Was It For Countering the Narrative? — The Climate Realism Show #210
The Heartland Institute views July 31, 2026 12:53 pm
Anthony Fauci was recently hauled before the Senate to explain his role in the COVID 19 pandemic, and the multitude of lies he told as head of the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and advisor to the president. He pleaded the fifth more than 100 times during the hearing, refusing to answer pointed questions. Next steps are as unclear as his tenure, his reasoning for seeming to protect China has been left unstated, and the scale of his corruption is hard to quantify. Meanwhile, the FCC has delivered a blow to China's AI and robotics industry by BANNING Chinese-made advanced robotics. On UNHINGED: Mamdani suggests that cash reparations might be doled out over slavery. Somehow. And for America @ 250, with all the drama surrounding Fauci, we're going to take a look at disease and epidemiology during the Revolution. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo will talk about all of this and more on Episode #546 of the In The Tank Podcast.

Fauci's diary proves he lied in his public COVID claims

Rare earth elements, lithium, cobalt, and other critical minerals are essential to electric vehicles, solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, smartphones, and modern electronics. But as governments push a rapid transition toward so-called green energy, an uncomfortable question is often left out of the conversation: where do these materials come from, and who pays the price to obtain them? In this Energy at a Glance video, The Heartland Institute’s Linnea Lueken examines the environmental damage, supply-chain dependence, and alleged forced and child labor connected to critical-mineral production. From China’s dominance of rare-earth processing to dangerous cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the green-energy transition has consequences that deserve honest scrutiny. Are policymakers and climate activists accounting for the full human and environmental cost of the technologies they promote? Learn more at EnergyAtAGlance.com
The Human Costs of Green Energy

Wildfires in Canada have become a major story in the US because the smoke from those fires have traveled a very long way, covering the skies of cities in the Upper Midwest as far south as Chicago, over nearly all of Michigan, and to major population centers in the Northeast. Much media coverage blames the fires on human-caused climate change. But what does the actual data say? On Episode 209 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely Heartland UK/Europe’s Lois Perry will debunk some myths about the fire and also talk about other Crazy Climate News of the Week. The UK is poised to turn off people’s heat pumps right when they need them in the cold of winter. Are rolling blackouts coming to the US because of over-reliance on so-called “green” energy? And we’ll look at how much typhoons hate solar power. Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook. Participate in the show by leaving your comments and questions in the chat.

The Heartland Institute views July 24, 2026 12:57 pm
President Trump revealed that China has been interfering with our elections, especially the fraught 2020 election, in a speech that the mainstream media attempted to debunk before they even had the details. Trump brought receipts, and then as if to re-emphasize his point about election integrity, another bombshell dropped: illegals have been voting in New Jersey elections. The panel will discuss how to prevent these egregious problems with our election system, how to harden it against attacks, and how deep this all may go. On UNHINGED: Representative Jasmine Crockett says the reason people were rooting for Spain in the World Cup... was racism. And for USA @250 - In 1776, the first draft of the Pennsylvania constitution quickly highlighted why too much Democracy can be a bad thing. The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and S.T. Karnick will talk about all of this and more on Episode #546 of the In The Tank Podcast.

How many Bond villain schemes can climate alarmists come up with? Apparently one every month or so. The latest scheme to “save the planet” and help make solar installations viable at night is to put giant mirrors in space to reflect sunlight down on earth during the night. And the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, amazingly, just gave that idea the go-ahead. On Episode 207 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely will talk about that Crazy Climate News of the Week. We will also cover the huge conflict of interest Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan has for an important upcoming climate case, the “climate score scam” that harms the value of your home, and will the political success of socialists in the United States put the Green New Deal back on the table?
