Trump Restoring Real Climate Science — The Climate Realism Show #207

Trump Restoring Real Climate Science — The Climate Realism Show #207

Author: The Heartland Institute July 10, 2026 Duration: 1:20:21

For many years, the U.S. Global Change Research Program has been a font of climate alarmist propaganda instead of a federal department focused on science. That is now changing. The Trump administration, which shut down the office, is reopening it under new management with a real scientist who is not a climate doomer: friend of the show Matt Wielicki.

On Episode 207 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely welcome guest Isaac Orr one of the “Energy Bad Boys.” We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including: how opponents of AI data centers are using climate alarmist arguments, the EU ending its fatwa on livestock, and a crazy idea to try to steer hurricanes.

Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook. Participate in the show by leaving your comments and questions in the chat.
