Kevin Mooney discusses his book “Climate Pxrn,” inspired by climate propaganda in classrooms and a push to restore the scientific method. He critiques polar-bear and other climate messaging, argues funding and politics suppress skeptics, and describes threats to prosecute dissent via RICO-style lawfare. He highlights Trump-era moves such as leaving the Paris Agreement and efforts to reverse the EPA’s 2009 endangerment finding on CO2, calling it a major deregulatory change. Mooney cites Canada’s carbon tax costs and bureaucracy as warnings, alleges Russian and Chinese money influences anti-fracking activism, and raises national-security concerns about China-linked energy supply chains and offshore wind. He also criticizes EV lithium-battery fire risks, climate activism in healthcare, carbon-tracking credit cards, and argues AI power demand is undermining wind/solar claims.

Vlad Bogorov talks about Glasgow City Council’s plans to spend tens of billions to pursue net zero and Bogorov’s three YouTube videos from public meetings where officials gave vague, cliché answers, asked for written questions, and objected to being filmed. Bogorov argues such environmentalism is “low resolution thinking,” primarily about power and public money, and claims renewables and policies like EVs can increase CO2 when accounting for grid losses, mining, and transmission. He cites Germany closing nuclear and burning more coal, contends nuclear is safest and necessary for net zero, and urges critics to focus on whether environmentalism raises or lowers CO2 rather than debating global warming itself.

Julian Morris presents slides on climate change: global temperatures have risen since 1850 and human greenhouse gas emissions plausibly contribute via radiative forcing, but he argues harms are not worsening. Using the EM-DAT disaster database, he notes reported extreme-weather disasters rose while geophysical disasters rose similarly, suggesting reporting and population effects; meanwhile climate-disaster mortality has fallen over 90% since the 1920s due to adaptation, technology, trade, infrastructure, warnings, and better buildings. He highlights long-term declines in energy and CO2 per GDP and potential decoupling, attributing progress to innovation and institutions like free markets and property rights. He critiques democratically unaccountable NGO–foundation–intergovernmental coalitions, discusses perverse incentives in conservation (rhino horn trade bans), ethanol mandates, and possible blockchain tracking for wildlife products.

Professor Demetris Koutsoyiannis presents a 2020 talk arguing the “climate change agenda” is political, tracing it to Henry Kissinger’s 1974 UN speech and subsequent WMO, CIA, U.S. agency actions, leading to the CO2 program, world climate conferences, and the IPCC’s 1988 creation. He reviews Time magazine’s shifting narratives from global cooling to warming and CO2, then describes elite networks and philanthropy—especially Rockefeller-linked funding—aimed at moving climate from science to policy, promoting carbon pricing, and expanding global governance. He draws a historical analogy to Rockefeller-supported eugenics and warns of emergency politics limiting rights. In discussion, he contrasts Greek and U.S. belief levels and says COVID fears waned in Greece while climate remains influential.

Jules de Waart, an 84-year-old former geologist, Dutch parliamentarian, civil servant, and physical geographer, discusses returning to climate topics after retirement and writing his skeptical book, "Crisis or Hoax," after an article was refused. He describes translating it to English using translation software and later joining the CO2 Coalition. Using geological and satellite-temperature slides, he argues Earth’s climate has long cycled through icehouse/greenhouse periods, the Holocene had earlier warm periods, and recent temperature spikes align with natural factors rather than CO2. He disputes claims of a strong scientific consensus, cites studies showing few papers explicitly quantify IPCC dominance, critiques alarmist messaging, and urges defending the scientific method and caution on geoengineering.

Reporter Audrey Streb discusses joining the White House press pool for The Lion, aiming to ask energy-focused questions. Drawing on her work at the Daily Caller News Foundation, she argues corporate media fuels “climate doomsday” coverage by spotlighting supportive studies and ignoring contrary ones, and she outlines tactics like calling out bad data, highlighting underplayed leads, and framing stories for readers. She cites reporting on retracted climate research, sea-level findings, China’s coal use and its comments on EPA rule rollbacks, and national-security risks from Chinese solar inverters. Her questioning of EPA Administrator Zeldin helped spur Sen. Cynthia Lummis’ bill to block foreign adversaries from commenting on U.S. rulemaking. She also mentions Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund scrutiny, climate litigation “lawfare,” and trade-offs in wind/solar.

Matt Ridley discusses an NIH invitation from Jay Bhattacharya to speak on scientific freedom and argues the COVID-19 pandemic was more likely caused by a lab leak than a natural spillover, citing Wuhan research on engineered sarbecoviruses, lack of an infected animal host, and alleged cover-ups. He says scientific institutions resisted debate, harming trust in science, and notes historical lab leaks and ongoing biosecurity and bioterrorism risks. Ridley also critiques overclaims about COVID measures and vaccines and connects pandemic-driven skepticism to climate debates. He then explains themes from his books on progress and on bird sexual selection, lekking, bowerbirds, and how female choice drives beauty, plus brief Darwin and family-history anecdotes.

David Brett, founder of The New Westminster Times, discusses a talk he gave on “eco fascism,” which he says originated with Greenpeace founders. Citing Patrick Moore’s book and his work at Green Spirit Strategies, he argues environmental activism is “90% communications,” using media “mind bombs” (dramatic imagery, celebrities, and litigation) to shape public opinion against mining, oil, forestry, and pipelines. He says Moore, a Greenpeace co-founder, has been “airbrushed” and smeared as disinformation. Brett critiques films like Anthropocene, “Sue Big Oil,” climate-emergency messaging, Greta Thunberg rallies, and NGO “youth washing,” and says activists link climate to Indigenous grievance. He urges industry to invest in human-interest counter-messaging and local civic pushback.
