Ocean temps are rising in the tropical Pacific Ocean, a natural and regular phenomenon called El Niño. Climate modelers say this year's could be one of the biggest ever, and some have nicknamed it "Godzilla El Niño!" That's a fun name, but what can we expect in this El Niño cycle? The Climate Realism Show's Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest Lois Perry will talk about that. 

We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including: global airlines giving up on their always absurd NetZero by 2050 goal, giant fire tornadoes to clean up oil spills, Democrats backing off their pledges to stop oil and gas in the face of higher fuel costs, and will Trump's Endangerment Finding repeal soon also apply to power plants?

Summer has arrived in Europe a little early this year and alarmists in the media say it’s unprecedented, dangerous, all because of climate change. But what if it is not our fault? What if it’s not all that unusual? We will sweat the details.

On Episode #203 of The Climate Realism Show, we will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including a comeback for coal power, bringing science back to court decisions, and wondering what Mr. Wizard would say about climate change today.

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.

 Voters in this month’s elections in Great Britain delivered a shocking win for Reform UK, and was a clear rebuke of the “green” Net Zero agenda of the political elites. Politicians and parties that put the environmental movement over the real-world concerns of Britons, especially energy costs, have no future. 

On Episode #202 of The Climate Realism Show, we will talk with special guest Lois Perry, director of Heartland UK/Europe, to break down what happened, why it happened, and what it means for the climate agenda on both sides of the Atlantic. 

We will also cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including how masculinity is supposedly bad for the Earth, Danish nursing home residents are restricted to just 2.8 ounces of meat per day as punishment being “the biggest climate sinners throughout their lives,” and an big Hollywood producer says oil companies (or climate change) were responsible for the devastating Palisades fire in LA. If you believe it was an arsonist, you’ve been “misinformed.”

Upon taking office in 2025, Donald Trump immediately got busy reversing and defunding the previous administration’s radical climate and energy agenda. That sent a message to the world: You may still cast America as the “villain” in your narrative of panic, but America will no longer play the fool.

Net Zero may still be official policy in several European countries, but it’s clear they are decreasingly serious about implementing it. Governments are pushing once-critical deadlines to achieve Net Zero farther out into the future, or signaling the project will be wholly abandoned. Even Germany, once the poster child of Net Zero zealousness, is bringing fossil fuels back. Many private-sector titans joined the Net Zero craze with their own virtue-signaling promises. Those, too, are proving to be as reliable as a dieter who will always start tomorrow.

On Episode #201 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely will talk about all this, and more, including the Crazy Climate News of the Week. You can add getting old to the list of things that cause climate change. Did Al Gore really just say we now need to worry about a coming ice age? Bugs are off the menu again. And the newest threat to the climate is something we all do: get older.

Spring is here, which means it is Hurricane Season, Tornado Season, Allergy Season, all normal and natural aspects of life on Earth. Climate alarmists, however, will be telling you this year promises to be the worst season ever, and it’s your fault. We will prepare you to counter this propaganda with the truth. 

We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin slaying members of Congress (rhetorically) on Capitol Hill, the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is finally abandoning its always-absurd worst-case-scenario for global warming, a hare-brained scheme to dam the Bering Strait to save the planet, New York’s climate mandates are dramatically spiking energy prices for middle class residents of a New York City co-op, and do we kind of agree with what King Charles said about environmentalism in front of Congress?

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely will talk about all this, and more, on Episode #200 of The Climate Realism Show.

Earth Day 2026 came and went without the energy and attention of past years. There was less climate scolding and fewer denunciations of the “high-carbon lifestyle” than in years past. As Heartland’s Anthony Watts said, “Earth Day today feels increasingly detached from the kind of environmental problems that gave rise to it in 1970.” Is this the year climate realists — who know Earth Day is about ecology and genuine environmental protection — begin to take the holiday back from the radicals?

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely, and special guest Marc Morano of CFACT will talk it over, as well as cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week. In 2023, two South Florida counties spent $100 million in taxpayer dollars on electric buses that were eventually going to replace the entire fleet. None of them have been in service for more than a year and … we told you so. Climate alarmists are so desperate to get their message out that they are resorting to OnlyFans. And do you remember the D.C. sewage spill in the Potomac? The New York Times remembers, but fails to mention that the main cause of one of the worst river pollution events in American history was environmental radicalism as government policy.

Last week, the 16th International Conference on Climate Change made international news. It also disheartened the environmental left and the media because it was clear from that two-day event that Climate Realism is Rising. We will go over some of the highlights of the conference — including a protest during our panel of “climate realist youth” — with Angela Wheeler of the CO2 Coalition, a co-host of that great event.

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, and Jim Lakely will also cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including a pilot who quit his job because he was climate change was giving him sleepless nights, environmentalists who want to put kids to sleep with a new video game called the “Great Green Neighborhood Showdown,” how the Obama administration faked the Endangerment Finding, and is the US going to force the World Bank to abandon its “green targets”?

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.

It sounds like something a Bond villain would think up. A startup wants to put giant mirrors into space to reflect sunlight back toward the Earth at night. Why would someone want to do this? To disturb the sleep of everyone on the “dark side” of the planet? No, but that would happen. To help plants grow faster and feed more people? Nope. It’s to keep giant solar power installations going after the sun goes down. This is a stupid, harmful idea, and we will explain why.

Join The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest David Legates, Ph.D., who will be speaking at our climate conference next month. We will also cover other crazy climate news of the week, including how climate change is supposedly killing penguins while also making them thrive, how a huge field of solar panels in Indiana lost a fight with a tornado, and how a new independent temperature station in Reno proves that the world isn’t really as warm as alarmists say.
