The corporate climate-alarmist media is already turning up the heat—on your TV, not outside—by hyping a summer warm spell as a “heat dome” threatening “dangerous heat and humidity” across much of America next week. Yes, it’s going to be hot. It’s summer. But the data tell a different story: there’s no long-term trend showing an increase in the number or intensity of heat waves. And despite what they claim, carbon dioxide emissions don’t drive heat waves.

An article by Border Report (BR), posted at Newsbreak, claims that Trump-era climate policies are driving migrants to attempt more U.S. border crossings, due to environmental disasters the report alleges are caused by climate change. This is false. The extreme weather referenced by the study and article is not worsening, attempted crossings have declined not increased, and migration from South and Central America is overwhelmingly driven by political corruption, criminal violence, and poverty.

The Heartland Institute and Heartland UK/Europe have been in Poland and Hungary this week, meeting with leaders of the conservative movement and top politicians. Opposition to Net Zero in Europe is real—and growing. Just a few years ago, even right-leaning public figures were reluctant to publicly oppose the Big Green agenda, and hardly ever spoke of it even in private conversations. Today, climate realism has become a main plank of center-right politics and policy.

The New York Times (NYT) published a long piece describing recent destructive wildfires in Minnesota, claiming that they were “fueled by climate change” and more likely to happen again in the future because of ongoing global warming. The NYT’s claims are unfounded. The NYT’s own article admits that serious fires are not unprecedented for the region, and data show that wildfires and fire weather have not been getting worse in Minnesota.
