New Report: Climate Realism = HATE SPEECH - In The Tank #432

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 432 of the In The Tank Podcast. A new report has been released by the Center for Countering Digital Hate which features The Heartland Institute. The report, titled "The New Climate Denial," accuses climate realists like The Heartland Institute of profiting off of the spread of disinformation and climate denial. The report's authors propose harsher restrictions be imposed by big tech companies to squash this supposed "disinformation." Also, Davos kicked off this week with a main theme of the WEF conference being "combatting disinformation."
