Heartland Daily Podcast

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and Linnea Lueken present episode 411 of the In The Tank Podcast. After the supposed hottest days, weeks, and month ever recorded and the unfolding disaster in Hawaii, many climate activists are lining up to pressure the Biden Administration to declare a "climate emergency." How likely is this declaration? When might it happen? What would it mean for America if such an emergency is declared? Also, the ITT crew takes a look at a new Institute for Energy Research paper that examines the potential of achieving "Net-Zero."
