Heartland Institute
On September 5, 2025, Steve Milloy, E&E Legal Senior Policy Fellow and Junkscience.com founder, joined H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and Anthony Watts, for one of Heartland Institute’s regular podcasts. The show, Big Climate Strikes Back, examines how in the wake of the first official U.S. government report to reject climate alarmism, the Green Industrial Complex struck back…hard.
As the show notes say:
When five independent scientists dared to produce the first U.S. government report to reject the climate alarmist narrative, Big Climate vowed to strike back. And it has. This week, a group of 85 scientists released a rebuttal to the Department of Energy’s “Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate.” They condemned the report, writing that “no one should doubt human-caused climate change is real,” and attacked the work and motivations of the 2025 Climate Working Group authors: Judith Curry, John Christy, Steven Koonin, Ross McKitrick, and Roy Spencer. We will rebut their rebuttal on Episode 172 of The Climate Realism Show.
