The End of Official Climate Alarmism (Guest: Dr. Judith Curry) – The Climate Realism Show #167

The End of Official Climate Alarmism (Guest: Dr. Judith Curry) – The Climate Realism Show #167

Author: The Heartland Institute August 14, 2025 Duration: 1:37:58

This is a historic week—historically catastrophic for climate alarmists who have bullied their way through every institution in the United States and around the world. Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency formally announced, at long last, that it will repeal the so-called “Endangerment Finding” for carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The EPA has determined that GHGs are not pollution and that their emissions from human activity do not pose a threat to human health. On the same day, Trump’s Department of Energy released a “critical review of impacts of GHG emissions on the U.S. climate.” This marks the first time ever that a climate report from the federal government can withstand scientific scrutiny, as it is based on actual science and data rather than politics or any particular agenda.

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will be joined by Dr. Judith Curry, president of Climate Forecast Applications Network (CFAN). Dr. Curry is one of America's most prominent climate scientists and a co-author of the Department of Energy’s critical review.

We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week from around the world. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, and X, and we will answer your questions in the live chat.

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.
