Climate Realism Violates International Law? – The Climate Realism Show #166

Climate Realism Violates International Law? – The Climate Realism Show #166

Author: The Heartland Institute August 13, 2025 Duration: 1:35:34

The International Court of Justice at the United Nations this week ruled that failing to take poverty-creating “appropriate action to protect the climate system” — meaning ending the use of life-giving fossil fuels — could open nations to being hauled before a global tribunal to answer for their crimes. As a trio of climate attorneys wrote in The New York Times, “continuing fossil fuel production and use, let alone expanding it, violates the law.” We’ll see about that.

But this development is just the latest in a long line of legal actions trying to enforce climate communism, even as more and more countries reject it.

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and our special guest Daren Bakst — director of the Center for Energy and Environment at the Competitive Enterprise Institute — will also cover some of the breaking and Crazy Climate News of the Week from around the world.

Thanks to Trump, those gasoline cans everyone hates will no longer be mandatory. We now have only three years left to save the planet, apparently. And the legacy media has finally caught up with this program and is reporting that the unscientific “Endangerment Finding” for carbon dioxide is about to be repealed.

Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, and X — and we’ll answer the questions you leave for our panel in the chat.
