We've covered the climate grift in several recent episodes, but now it's time for a deeper dive. This week, The Heartland Institute published a new paper titled The High Cost of Climate Scams: Assessing the Green Giveaways in the Inflation Reduction Act. This law was never meant to fight inflation—it was designed to funnel hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of politically connected “green” businesses and pop-up nonprofits. Did we say hundreds of billions? The real price tag is closer to $2 TRILLION.

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will dig deeper into the greatest scam in history. We will also cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including Bill Nye lying about how wildfires in South Carolina “didn’t use to be a thing,” Michael Mann suffering another humiliating loss in court, and why God hates wind turbines.

Big news this week as EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has reportedly told the White House it should officially abandon the ruling that greenhouse gases pose a threat to human health and welfare. The so-called “endangerment finding” for carbon dioxide and methane emissions forms the backbone of government regulations to “fight climate change” by heavily regulating everything from power plants to automobiles to stoves. Will President Trump repeal the endangerment finding? Can he do it unilaterally? We will discuss.

Also, NOAA has “homogenized” the temperature data again. What does that mean? And does it correct the historical record, or distort it to support the alarmist global warming narrative?

In “climate grift” news, Climate Crusader Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has been caught backing legislation that funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to his wife’s nonprofit organization. How convenient, and corrupt.

And good news, everyone! The absurd plot of the climate disaster movie The Day After Tomorrow is not actually going to happen, despite alarmist “scientists” claiming it could be imminent.

Join The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely — along with special guest David Legates, former deputy assistant secretary at NOAA — to cover these stories, and more on The Climate Realism Show. Jump in the chat during the livestream ​on YouTube and Rumble to get your climate questions answered, too.

Elon Musk's DOGE crew continues to shine a light on how our federal government operates, and it is exposing more climate grift than even the most cynical among us could have imagined. The latest involves the EPA giving failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams $2 billion to expand "clean energy by prioritizing housing, equity, and resilience." Her organization, Power Forward Communities, says it will install heat pumps, solar panels, EV chargers, and other "green" technology. Does Abrams have any expertise in this field? No. In fact, her organization incorporated itself with $100 in the bank just months before receiving $2 billion of our tax money. The Washington Free Beacon also reported this week that the man Biden put in charge of the EPA's "Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund" funneled $5 billion to his former employer, something called the Coalition for Green Capital.

The climate grifters are being exposed, and the EPA is trying to claw these billions of dollars back. But how deep does the corruption go? We're bringing in Steve Milloy of the Energy and Environmental Legal Institute, an EPA transition team member in Trump's first term, to get a handle on it. The Heartland Institute's Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including a look at NOAA data showing the second-biggest month-to-month temperature drop since 2009.

President Trump has struck the Biden administration’s climate and energy policy like a hurricane – from increasing energy exploration and extraction, to letting 1,000 employees at the Environmental Protection Agency know they could be fired at any time, to taking all mentions of climate change from the website of the Department of Agriculture, and more. But what will be the Trump Effect on the global climate agenda? Will the dedication to reorder the economies and societies of the world to “save the planet” being to crumble? And if so, which country will give up first?

President Trump has struck the Biden administration’s climate and energy policy like a hurricane—ranging from increasing energy exploration and extraction to informing 1,000 Environmental Protection Agency employees that they could be fired at any time, to removing all mentions of climate change from the Department of Agriculture’s website, and more. But what will be the "Trump Effect" on the global climate agenda? Will the dedication to reorganizing the world’s economies and societies to “save the planet” begin to crumble? And if so, which country will be the first to give up?

The historic and devastating fires in Los Angeles exposed the incompetence of leaders such as Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass. So how do state legislators want to address that? By allowing victims who had their lives destroyed sue Big Oil. Of course. The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest Gregory Wrightstone of the CO2 Coalition blow holes in that absurd political stunt and also discuss other recent to abuse the courts to push climate alarmism.

Also, Lee Zeldin has just started his first week as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and already the environmental left is terrified that the days of considering human emissions of carbon dioxide are coming to an end. We will dig deeper into the EPA’s “endangerment finding” for CO2 and whether it can be overturned in the next four years. We will also cover some of the “Crazy Climate News of the Week.”

The American dream is DYING. Thanks a lot, Joe Biden!

Housing prices have never been this bad and you can thank Bidenomics. The new housing data says home prices are 7.64 times greater than the median household income.

Wow. "Electoral College changes could put Trump back in the White House."

Electoral College changes could make all the difference in the presidential election. Red states have added two votes and blue states lost two. That might put Trump in the White House.

Stopping Socialism's Justin Haskins just dropped his latest article for Fox News. This is HUGE: "Bidenomics strikes again: Shocking number of full-time jobs lost over past 5 months."

As the Biden White House continues to brag about the alleged success of its economic policies, government data shows the country is hemorrhaging full-time jobs.
