Taking Back Earth Day – The Climate Realism Show #199

Earth Day 2026 came and went without the energy and attention of past years. There was less climate scolding and fewer denunciations of the “high-carbon lifestyle” than in years past. As Heartland’s Anthony Watts said, “Earth Day today feels increasingly detached from the kind of environmental problems that gave rise to it in 1970.” Is this the year climate realists — who know Earth Day is about ecology and genuine environmental protection — begin to take the holiday back from the radicals? The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely, and special guest Marc Morano of CFACT will talk it over, as well as cover the Crazy Climate News of the Week. In 2023, two South Florida counties spent $100 million in taxpayer dollars on electric buses that were eventually going to replace the entire fleet. None of them have been in service for more than a year and … we told you so. Climate alarmists are so desperate to get their message out that they are resorting to OnlyFans. And do you remember the D.C. sewage spill in the Potomac? The New York Times remembers, but fails to mention that the main cause of one of the worst river pollution events in American history was environmental radicalism as government policy.
