Heatwave Horse Hockey – The Climate Realism Show #196

Author: The Heartland Institute March 28, 2026 Duration: 1:33:56

According to the legacy media, the first early heatwave of the year in the West would be “virtually impossible without human-induced climate change.” That is bunk based on junk science, and is not even unprecedented, as we will explain on Episode #195 of The Climate Realism Show.

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely, and special guest Chris Martz will reveal the truth about this heatwave and also cover other Crazy Climate News of the Week, including using carbon capture to carbonate beer, and how we should not be worried about climate change slowing the rotation of the earth.

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.
