Kevin Mooney: “Climate Pxrn” | Tom Nelson Pod #388

About this episode

Kevin Mooney discusses his book 'Climate Pxrn' and critiques various aspects of climate messaging and policy.

Kevin Mooney discusses his book “Climate Pxrn,” inspired by climate propaganda in classrooms and a push to restore the scientific method. He critiques polar-bear and other climate messaging, argues funding and politics suppress skeptics, and describes threats to prosecute dissent via RICO-style lawfare. He highlights Trump-era moves such as leaving the Paris Agreement and efforts to reverse the EPA’s 2009 endangerment finding on CO2, calling it a major deregulatory change. Mooney cites Canada’s carbon tax costs and bureaucracy as warnings, alleges Russian and Chinese money influences anti-fracking activism, and raises national-security concerns about China-linked energy supply chains and offshore wind. He also criticizes EV lithium-battery fire risks, climate activism in healthcare, carbon-tracking credit cards, and argues AI power demand is undermining wind/solar claims. 00:00 Meet Kevin Mooney 01:13 Acorn to Green Groups 01:54 Polar Bear Myth 03:27 NASA vs Climate Models 06:57 Solar System Climate Clues 07:50 Silencing Skeptics 09:39 Criminalizing Dissent 11:36 Paris Deal and Lawfare 12:24 EPA Endangerment Fight 15:00 Canada Carbon Tax Reality 17:53 Foreign Money and Fracking…
