The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 373 of the In The Tank Podcast. On the eve of Thanksgiving, the ITT crew talks about the news and policy items they are thankful for. Also, they discuss story that the World Economic Forum wants us to eat crickets. Is this just a conspiracy theory, or is there truth to it?

Apparently, the claim that global temperatures rising 1.5°C wasn’t enough to adequately scare the population into submission. Why not double it then? Alarmists are pushing the narrative that we’re going to see warming of 3.2°C unless we ACT NOW. On today’s episode of Climate Change Roundtable, Andy Singer, Linnea Lueken, Anthony Watts, and H. Sterling Burnett discuss this 3.2°C claim in detail. Where did this number come from? Is it a realistic possibility. Which climate model is predicting these results? The panel discusses these questions and more.

Elites at G20 (B20) Call for Global Health Passport In this clip from The Heartland Institute's In the Tank Podcast -- broadcast live on this YouTube channel every Thursday at 1 p.m. ET (NOON CT) -- Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, S.T. Karnick, and Linnea Lueken discuss a terrible idea out of the G20 Summit of global leaders this week. All G20 nations (with the notable exception of China) has agreed in principle to require everyone on the globe to get a Global Health Passport (or a Digital Health Certificate approved by WHO. If you are certified by WHO as being vaccinated and properly tested, "you can move around." If you don't, you can't. Bottom line: Our global elites see all but themselves not as individuals, not as even human beings, but as only vectors of disease and walking bags of infection. If you value your freedom at all, you must resist this dehumanizing idea with everything you have. This is the most anti-human idea yet to come out of these global meetings, and that's a high bar to clear.

The Heartland Institute’s Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, S.T. Karnick, and Linnea Lueken present episode 372 of the In The Tank Podcast. The ITT crew discusses how COP27 and the G20 summit is going so far – and it is all bad news if you cherish your liberty. The head of the United Nations says we’re on a “climate highway to hell,” Klaus Schwab says “the future is built by us” (and by “us” he means the unaccountable global elite), and every G20 nation has embraced the idea of mandatory “global health passports” to permit free movement of people during “the next pandemic.” Show notes: OPENING BANTER Trump is running for president again COP27 CNBC - We’re on a ‘highway to climate hell,’ UN chief Guterres says, calling for a global phase-out of coal https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/07/were-on-a-highway-to-climate-hell-un-chief-guterres-says.html “We are in the fight of our lives, and we are losing,” Antonio Guterres tells the COP27 climate change summit. “It is either a climate solidarity pact, or a climate suicide pact.” “Greenhouse gas emissions keep growing, global temperatures keep rising, and our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible,” he adds. “We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator,” Guterres, speaking in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, says.

A new poll of scientists conducted by Fairleigh Dickinson University found that only 59 percent of respondents think global climate change will cause “significant harm” to the “living conditions for people alive today.” That is far short of the “97 percent consensus” narrative pushed by climate alarmists and their media allies across the globe. The survey, conducted in September and October 2022 by Fairleigh Dickinson University and commissioned by The Heartland Institute, polled only professionals and academics who held at least a bachelor’s degree in the fields of meteorology, climatology, physics, geology, and hydrology. The key question of the survey asked: “In your judgement, what will be the overall impact of global climate change on living conditions for people alive today, across the globe?” Fifty-nine percent said “significant harm.” Thirty-nine percent said either “significant improvement,” “slight improvement,” “no change,” or “slight harm.” Two percent were not sure. Among respondents with the most experience – those at least 50-years-old – less than half expect significant harm for people alive today. Scientists 30-years-old and younger were the only age group for which more than 60 percent expect significant harm.

President Joe Biden, who feels wind in his sails after a midterm election that was not as bad as many predicted for his party, addressed the globalist crowd at COP27 today. In today's episode of Climate Change Roundtable, The Heartland Institute's Andy Singer, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and H. Sterling Burnett offer instant analysis of his speech, what it means for American climate and energy policy, and if it will make any difference to the world.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Justin Haskins present episode 371 of the In The Tank Podcast. The ITT crew discusses Tuesday's election results - the good, the bad, and the ugly. What takeaways do we have from the results, what happened to the "red wave," and what does this it mean for policy in the United States moving forward? Also, will these results dissuade Donald Trump from running again in 2024?

In this clip from The Heartland Institute's In the Tank Podcast, Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and Cameron Sholty explain why offering "amnesty" to the COVID lockdown advocates is out of the question. They created enormous social and economic destruction, and haven't even had the good manners to apologize. No way can we just "move on" until there is accountability and true atonement. Only then, maybe, can there be forgiveness and "amnesty." Tune into Heartland's YouTube Channel (youtube.com/TheHeartlandInstitute) to watch the show LIVE every Thursday at noon CT.

It's no secret that people across the globe are dealing with an energy shortage. The convenient excuse has been to blame Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which is a factor, but this narrative doesn't tell the whole story. For decades, politicians have passed anti-human policies to signal how "green" they are, and people are paying the price. With the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) just days away, the question turns to how global elites will explain the hardships regular people are suffering through. Their plans of controlling global temperatures through limiting carbon dioxide, a foolish plan outright, requires massive sacrifice in standards of living. With gas prices at all-time highs, supply chain woes, and energy rationing aplenty, are people truly willing to undergo more in the name of a nonexistent crisis? In today's episode of Climate Change Roundtable, Andy Singer, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and H. Sterling Burnett discuss the false information barrage being pushed my the corporate media in preparation of COP27.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and Cameron Sholty present episode 370 of the In The Tank Podcast. With the 2022 mid term elections only days away, the ITT crew discusses the odds of a coming "red wave" and what that might mean for the country. Also, it appears as though the left is waking up to the threat of big tech censorship. An article from The Intercept is making its rounds highlighting the collusion between the Biden Administration and social media companies Twitter and Facebook.

Yeonmi Park escaped from North Korea into China when she was only 13 years old. She didn't do it for freedom. North Koreans don't know what freedom is. Yeonmi did it for a bowl of rice. While she was fed in China, human traffickers sold her for $200. She lived a life of physical abuse. So she escaped again, this time into Mongolia and then South Korea. Yeonmi travelled across the frozen Gobi desert in the middle of the night, a trek that kills almost everyone who attempts it. And this time, it was for freedom. Yeonmi Park defied the odds and made it to South Korea. Soon, she came to America. In her words, America is the best country in human existence. Yet, Yeonmi has a dire warning for this country. Growing up under a dictator gives her a unique perspective of how a population can be manipulated. She says it's happening right now in America. Woke culture is the way Americans are being manipulated, and controlled, into losing the freedom that makes this nation great. Check out our channel for Yeonmi Park's full speech.

The speech by Heartland Liberty Prize Winner Yeonmi Park left everyone who attended our benefit dinner last week profoundly moved, and many in tears. If you missed it — and even if you were there — you will want to watch her speech. Park recounts her harrowing escape from North Korea at the age of 13 – a journey to freedom few have the courage to undertake, and fewer survive.
