They Want to Dim the Sun to Save the Earth – The Climate Realism Show #203

They Want to Dim the Sun to Save the Earth – The Climate Realism Show #203

Author: The Heartland Institute May 28, 2026 Duration: 1:32:35

The world seems to not lack for climate alarmist Bond villains with wild schemes to “save the earth” by way of geo-engineering that ranges from the silly to the dangerous. A company is now poised to “cool the earth” by spraying the skies of the world with “sunlight-reflecting aerosols.” What could possibly go wrong?

On Episode #203 of The Climate Realism Show, we will also cover other Crazy Climate News of the Week, including how crappy it is to be a “climate migrant,” a push by alarmists to regain their policy momentum by declaring climate change a global public health crisis, and how Heartland’s push to spread climate realism in Europe has the alarmists in a bit of a panic.

Join Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest James Taylor LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.

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.

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.
