The ITT crew sets out to separate the facts from the fiction.

There's been a stark uptick in the corporate media's alarmist rhetoric on so-called climate catastrophe. Calls to alter the way you live are coming down from global elites and media pundits in the names of protecting the future of the Earth. At least we can trust them to set the example, right? Wrong! Elites don't want to dampen their pompous lives. That's why the European Union's new aviation fuel tax excuses corporate private jets. Anthropogenic and catastrophic climate change has become a powerful tool for governments, corporate media heads, and global elites to wield for their own benefit. We're supposed to live with less while they prosper.

Heartland Institute President James Taylor was a guest on Tipping Point on OANN the other day. He was asked to comment on what host Kara McKinney called a "clown show" of energy policy pushed by President Biden and the Democrats in Washington. Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow spoke excitedly about driving an electric car and not worrying about gas prices. Taylor called that a "clown car" and offered a lot of substantive analysis of our wrong-headed energy policies in this quick hit.

After every tragedy, it always seems like the left dominates the national discourse. Why? They feel obligated to shift the discussion to politics immediately. The right would rather let the scene settle; for good reason at that. Weaponizing tragedy for political positioning is vile.

The Mona Lisa was recently vandalized in the name of climate change. No one should be surprised. Why? People across the globe are hit with a barrage of corporate media stories falsely claiming climate change is a catastrophic threat to humanity's survival. This breeds radicalism that leads to events such as the Mona Lisa attack in France. Check out the Climate Change Roundtable, the source of this clip, every Friday at 12pm CT.

Climate change was discussed heavily at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos. In the view of our global "leaders," climate action must take place now to avoid an impending catastrophe. Speakers included John Kerry, Al Gore, and Bill Gates. There is no climate catastrophe. Extreme weather events are not becoming more frequent nor more severe, food production is soaring year after year, and temperatures are well within historical norms. The elites at Davos desire to use climate change to change the world for their benefit. They're not trying to protect you.

Earlier this week, HSBC suspended Senior Banker Stuart Kirk over a an internal company presentation. Why? Well, the title was, "Why investors need not worry about climate risk". Kirk called out the United Nations and other institutions for pushing the narrative that climate change is an existential threat. Is this the beginning of a resistance to climate alarmism disrupting business institutions? Stuart Kirk's suspension highlights how big business has adopted the climate catastrophe doctrine and is willing to push out anyone who won't fall in line. The Climate Change Roundtable crew discusses this story and what we should expect moving forwards. Join us live every Friday at 12pm CT for Climate Change Roundtable.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Chris Talgo, and Sam Karnick present episode 347 of the In The Tank Podcast. On this episode, the ITT crew talks about the ongoing World Economic Forum Davos 2022 meeting and their scheme to establish a global ESG system. Also, in the aftermath of another school shooting, the ITT asks “What is going on?” TOPIC ONE – ANOTHER TRAGIC SCHOOL SHOOTING Instead of talking about this from a that-policy-won’t-help perspective, I want to talk about this from a what's-going-on-culturally perspective.

The catastrophic climate change narrative is built on the idea that temperatures are rising at uncontrollable rates due to human greenhouse gas emissions. The reported temperatures come from surface stations across the globe. For the last few weeks, Anthony Watts has travelled across the country observing the quality of these stations, and the results are shocking.
