Climate Paper Tigers – The Climate Realism Show #193

Climate Paper Tigers – The Climate Realism Show #193

Author: The Heartland Institute March 7, 2026 Duration: 1:20:37

The Climate Panic Industrial Complex has had complete control over the media narrative and public policy for more than two decades. Then Donald Trump returned to the White House and quickly set about canceling the entire agenda—and he’s still not done. And the climate alarmists are confused. Where is the pushback?

The UK Guardian, a leader in promoting the alarmist narrative, laments that all the billionaires and their political allies have hardly pushed back. For that matter, where are the street protests? Where’s Greta? Is it possible that the Climate Panic Industrial Complex was a paper tiger all along?


Join The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, H. Sterling Burnett, and special guest Kevin Mooney for this week's episode of The Climate Realism Show.

We’ll also talk about Mooney’s new book, “Climate P0rn: How and Why Anti-Population Zealots Fabricate Science, while Targeting American Capitalism, Freedom, and Independence.”
