On this week’s episode, we cover IWF’s April policy focus: A Realistic Approach to Climate Change. We explore the common myths about climate change and how innovation has led to a cleaner environment. And we delve into the latest tactics by environmental alarmists who propose “solutions” that would destroy our country.

Julie hit the major points, and my objections to the Green Movement, Inc. Planet change is constant as is the climate. The impacts to humans has been slight. The major impacts have been real pandemics, like the plague in the 14th century. Regions get periods of drought as we had in Kansas in the 1930’s. Herding and cultivation policies (or culture) have created environmental issues in places like Easter Island, sub-Sahara Africa, and the North American southwest. In the end, fresh water availability is the deciding factor on human’s existence in most of the world, not slight changes in ambient temperature.
Great podcast discussion, and only one note I’d like to add here. In addition to resisting all the other false premises of Environmentalism, Inc., we should also understand the problem of buying into the carbon fetish. Being against carbon in its various manifestations in the world is not scientific. It leads to ceding ground unnecessarily, and allows the debate to be shifted to who can reduce carbon the most, rather than justifying why we should bother taking that path at all.
