Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 380 of the In The Tank Podcast. The Biden administration announced this week that it was considering a ban on gas stoves, supposedly because it causes asthma in kids – a claim not backed up by science.
They are trying to walk back from this infuriating government overreach, but the In the Tank crew won’t let them because it’s part of a tyrannical pattern by our ruling elite. For instance, New York governor Kathy Hochul also announced she wants to ban all appliances, including stoves furnaces, that burn fossil fuels. This is not about safety, but about forcing us to go “all electric” for EVERYTHING as soon as possible to “fight climate change.” It’s absolutely insane and must be stopped.
The ITT crew will also talk about how the chairman of the Federal Reserve announced the Fed will not be a “climate policymaker,” a rare sensible statement from a position of great power that has the climate cultists enraged. We’ll also cover how YouTube shut down The Heartland Institute’s main channel just before we went live with a prominent climate realist scientist. We will also remember another great scientist and climate realist – our friend, Dr. Jay Lehr – who sadly passed away this week.
