Episode Description from the Publisher

Steve Milloy reviews Trump’s fossil-fuel agenda, EPA rollback of the 2009 endangerment finding, and concerns that litigation delays and Justice Department staffing could let a future Democratic administration reverse course. The speaker attacks the National Academy of Sciences as climate activists, cites a climate chapter in a judges’ science manual, notes Elena Kagan said she didn’t read it, and urges cutting NAS funding. They praise Matt Wielicki’s appointment to lead the U.S. Global Change Research Program. They argue wildfire-smoke PM2.5 health scares lacked NYC hospital spikes, criticize linear no-threshold regulation (radiation, PFAS), and discuss Yucca Mountain standards. They describe shareholder activism against corporate ESG (Netflix, Exxon), criticize carbon capture subsidies, and praise young “climate realist” advocates.00:00 Trump EPA Rollbacks01:37 NAS Versus Trump04:16 Defunding NAS Push06:30 Kagan Foreword Controversy08:24 Climate Realist Appointment09:43 Democrats And Green Money11:59 Big Tech Climate Censorship13:21 X Algorithms And Reach16:10 Viral Tweet No Warming18:20 Wildfire Smoke Reality Check22:30 EPA PM2.5 Experiments26:12 LNT Model And Hormesis30:18 Yucca Mountain Absurdity32:37 PFAS And Low Dose Effects33:37 Forever Chemicals Are Inert34:41 Dose Makes the Poison36:34 Parts Per Trillion Panic37:31 Why Fear Spreads38:06 Conservative Shareholder Activism41:07 Exxon and ESG Battles42:23 Carbon Capture Reality Check43:53 Subsidies and Nanny Government45:31 Next Gen Climate Realists47:43 Awards and Staying the Course50:31 NASA Names and Media Retreat56:01 Debate Challenge and Wrap UpSteve on X: https://x.com/JunkScienceWeb: https://junkscience.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
