Big Climate Strikes Back — The Climate Realism Show #172

Big Climate Strikes Back — The Climate Realism Show #172

Author: The Heartland Institute September 5, 2025 Duration: 1:33:55

When five independent scientists dared to produce the first U.S. government report to reject the climate alarmist narrative, Big Climate vowed to strike back. And it has. This week, a group of 85 scientists released a rebuttal to the Department of Energy’s “Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.” They condemned the report, writing that “no one should doubt human-caused climate change is real,” and attacked the work and motivations of the 2025 Climate Working Group authors: Judith Curry, John Christy, Steven Koonin, Ross McKitrick, and Roy Spencer. We will rebut their rebuttal on Episode 172 of The Climate Realism Show.
