There is no let-up in the culture’s attempt to scare our kids about climate change. The latest development is a segment on Sesame Street to teach kids not to be scared of extreme weather. The producers deny it’s a political climate message, but even The New York Times doesn’t buy that.

On Episode 211 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely … will also cover some other Crazy Climate News of the Week. Will the “gold bars” thrown off the Titanic as Biden’s EPA staffers were leaving end up in the hands of grifters after all? Speaking of well-connected climate activist nonprofit groups, many are raking in millions in foreign funds every year. And a prominent UK newspaper says it’s time for Britain to abandon Net Zero. Is this a tipping point for that ruinous policy?
