British Voters Dump the Greens – The Climate Realism Show #202

British Voters Dump the Greens – The Climate Realism Show #202

Author: The Heartland Institute May 16, 2026 Duration: 1:24:36

 Voters in this month’s elections in Great Britain delivered a shocking win for Reform UK, and was a clear rebuke of the “green” Net Zero agenda of the political elites. Politicians and parties that put the environmental movement over the real-world concerns of Britons, especially energy costs, have no future. 

On Episode #202 of The Climate Realism Show, we will talk with special guest Lois Perry, director of Heartland UK/Europe, to break down what happened, why it happened, and what it means for the climate agenda on both sides of the Atlantic. 

We will also cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including how masculinity is supposedly bad for the Earth, Danish nursing home residents are restricted to just 2.8 ounces of meat per day as punishment being “the biggest climate sinners throughout their lives,” and an big Hollywood producer says oil companies (or climate change) were responsible for the devastating Palisades fire in LA. If you believe it was an arsonist, you’ve been “misinformed.”

Tune in to the Environment and Climate News Podcast for conversations that cut through the noise on today's most pressing ecological and policy discussions. Produced by The Heartland Institute, this series brings forward voices often absent from mainstream coverage: scientists, researchers, and policy experts who approach topics with a measured, climate-realist perspective. Each episode digs into the data and reasoning behind energy and environmental decisions, offering analysis that challenges prevailing narratives without the alarmism. You'll hear detailed discussions on legislative developments, scientific findings, and the economic implications of various policy paths. This isn't about sensational headlines; it's about fostering a deeper, evidence-based understanding of how we manage our natural resources and respond to climatic changes. For anyone weary of one-sided debates and seeking substantive dialogue grounded in a non-alarmist philosophy, this podcast provides a necessary and thoughtful platform. Join the conversation to explore the complex intersection of environment, climate science, and political reality.
