Bright young people who were convinced of the truth of climate alarmist dogma open their eyes and mind to the actual data on the climate. Then they become climate realists, and even evangelists for science and truth. Anika Sweetland is one of those people. She is a former energy advisor with a degree in climate studies who gave an address on her awakening at Heartland&#8217;s World Prosperity Forum last month. And she&#8217;s one of the UK&#8217;s best public opponents of that country&#8217;s Net Zero policy and keeps a keen eye on the climate communism of the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anika joins us to talk about her journey, and also comment on some of the Crazy Climate News of the week, including a proposal to chop down boreal forests in the far north and throw the wood into the Arctic Ocean, how stupid and counterproductive California\u2019s aversion to oil refining really is, and how the European Union may be poised to make countering the climate alarmist narrative illegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Join The Heartland Institute\u2019s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest Anika Sweetland LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook.
