That agenda, which enjoyed broad support, has since given way to a professional \u201cclimate movement\u201d that is obsessed with carbon dioxide emissions and addicted to gloom and doom messaging with little grounding in science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On The Heartland Institute\u2019s Episode #125 of The Climate Realism Show, we bring back guest Matthew Wielicki, an \u201cearth science professor-in-exile\u201d to talk about how and why a conservationist movement morphed into endless and ever-louder climate hysteria. Heartland\u2019s Jim Lakely, Anthony Watts, and Linnea Lueken will also review the \u201cCrazy Climate News of the Week,\u201d including a new video game where you shoot \u201cclimate deniers,\u201d a leftist publication wondering if it is time for the climate movement and media to end its obsession with stopping \u201cclimate misinformation\u201d from being spoken, and how your refrigerator is really just a luxury that you should give up to save the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on Friday, Aug. 30 and participate in the chat.
