Topic: Climatology

The hosts reflect on the "acid rain" phenomenon of the past, characterizing it as a previous environmental "scam" that has since faded from public discourse. They argue that the discipline of climatology has become a lucrative field driven by the pursuit of billions of dollars in government research grants, incentivizing scientists to maintain the global warming narrative.

A discussion on STEM education evolves into a critique of "science as religion," where consensus is treated as an article of faith. The hosts argue that computer models are being misused to establish "facts" about global warming rather than as tools for research. They cite an MIT professor's warning that modeling should not be confused with scientific thesis.

The hosts point out past failed predictions by climatologists, such as the claim that it would never snow in England again or that Australia would remain in a permanent drought. They revisit the 1970s theory of an impending New Ice Age, suggesting it is a more plausible threat than global warming. They also reference a video by Catherine Austin Fitts regarding the potential for a "worst-case scenario" for the global economy.

Congress is holding hearings on energy and global warming bills that the hosts characterize as a "carbon tax" scam. They compare the current climate movement to previous environmental alarms like acid rain and the "coming ice age." The discussion posits that the field of climatology is driven by the pursuit of billions of dollars in research grants.
