Heartland Institute

On October 21, 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.

As the show notes say:

The United Nations narrowly avoided approve a new tax on carbon-dioxide emissions from shipping today. Their goal was to raise at least $10 billion a year and put it in a new “Net Zero Fund” to “mitigate negative impacts” on nations supposedly suffering because of climate change. Trump threatened nations who supported it with punitive tariffs, and the world backed down. But they will be back. An unelected United Nations wants to rule over the entire globe with the power to levy direct taxes as it sees fit. The United States—and every country that values representative democracy and individual liberty—must continue to oppose this with every tool at their disposal.

On Episode #178 of The Climate Realism Show, we’ll dig into this disturbing and likely illegal attempted UN power grab and cover the week’s Crazy Climate News. Is climate change giving dolphins Alzheimer’s? What the heck is “carbon butter,” and how does it taste? Is Bill Gates the most dangerous man on the planet? And the mother of all “children’s climate lawsuits” has just crashed and burned.
