The Great Reset and Crazy Energy Policies: Marc Morano - Heartland Institute

Heartland Institute

https://www.heartland.org/multimedia/podcasts/the-great-reset-and-crazy-energy-policies-marc-morano

California, Europe, and beyond the impacts of crazy energy policies they have governments there have imposed are coming home to roost, and its bad for their residents.

In California, Europe, and beyond the impacts of crazy energy policies they have governments there have imposed are coming home to roost, and its bad for their residents. Yet in an effort to push a Great Reset of the global economy, many governments are doubling down on policies that have created the present energy crisis.

It seems rationing and COVID like energy lockdowns are the goal so elites can impose their vision of a planned economy on the worlds people. Because planned economies do poorly, this means everyone, but the elites wielding power must do with less, less resources and less freedom.

h. Sterling Burnett, Ph.D., is the Director of the Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy and the managing editor of Environment & Climate News.

In addition to directing The Heartland Institute's :{Arthur B. Robinson Center :(style="background-color:#ffff66;"):}::{on Climate and Environmental Policy:(style="background-color:#ffffff;"):}:, Burett puts Environment & Climate News together, is the editor of Heartland's Climate Change Weekly email, and the host of the Environment & Climate News Podcast.

Prior to joining The Heartland Institute in 2014, Burnett worked at the National Center for Policy Analysis for 18 years, ending his tenure there as senior fellow in charge of environmental policy. He has held various positions in professional and public policy organizations, including serving as a member of the Environment and Natural Resources Task Force in the Texas Comptroller’s e-Texas commission.

Burnett is a former board member and past president of the Dallas Woods and Water Conservation Club; a senior fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation; an academic advisor for Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow; an advisory board member to the Cornwall Alliance; and an advisor for the Energy, Natural Resources and Agricultural Task Force at the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

Burnett has an associate's degree in arts and sciences from Eastfield Community College (1984), a B.B.A. and a B.A. in cultural anthropology from Southern Methodist University (1986), and a M.A. (1991) and a Ph.D. (2001) in applied philosophy from Bowling Green State University with a specialization in environmental ethics.

About the Center

The Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy at The Heartland Institute is an independent and authoritative source of research and commentary on a wide range of environmental issues, including climate change, air and water pollution, public health, and energy policy. It has assembled a world-wide team of leading scientists and economic experts to participate in the production of books, videos, monthly and weekly publications, events, government relations, and other activities. For more about the Center, visit the About page.

Our Position on Climate Change

The Center supports continued research on the causes and effects of man-made climate change. The views of Heartland’s spokespersons and many of the experts it works with are well summarized in these documents:

The Global Warming Crisis Is Over

An Action Plan for President Trump

Five Elements of a Pro-Energy, Pro-Environment, Pro-Jobs Plan

Comments, Petitions, and Testimony Opposing the Endangerment Finding

Events

The Center has organized scores of events, including 14 International Conferences on Climate Change since 2008 attended by more than 5,000 people. In 2017 and 2018, Heartland and nearly two-dozen cosponsors hosted the first two America First Energy Conferences. Visit our YouTube channel to watch highlights from those events, Trump administration folks (and a few others) praising Heartland at the conference, and a video featuring Donald Trump speaking about energy that opened the event.

Click here to view the presentations (and for more information) about Heartland's 14th International Conference on Climate Change, held for Oct. 15-17, 2021 in Las Vegas.

Research, News, and Commentary

The Center publishes original research on climate and environment topics, including books, policy studies, policy briefs, and shorter publications. In addition to the Climate Change Reconsidered series described below, recent books published or distributed by Heartland include Climate at a Glance: Facts for Climate Realists on 30 Prominent Climate Topics, Why Scientists Disagree About Global Warming, Clexit for a Brighter Future, Nothing to Fear: A Bright Future for Fossil Fuels, Merchants of Despair, and The Neglected Sun: Why the Sun Precludes Climate Catastrophe

The Center also produces a monthly public policy newspaper titled Environment & Climate News is sent to every national and state elected official in the U.S. and thousands of civic and business leaders and Heartland supporters. Subscribe for free by clicking here. The Center also produces a weekly e-newsletter titled Climate Change Weekly sent to some 4,700 subscribers. Subscribe for free by clicking here.

The Center frequently reprints and distributes the best work produced by other think tanks on climate change and other environmental topics. Two recent reprints are an Interview with Prof. William Happer and a speech by former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbot.

Nongovernment International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC)

The Center partners with the Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP) and the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change to support the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), an international network of climate scientists, engineers, and other experts. Originally created in 2003 by the late Dr. S. Fred Singer as a “Red Team” to fact-check the reports of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), NIPCC evolved in the world’s preeminent “Red Team” in the climate change debate.

NIPCC produces and The Heartland Institute publishes the Climate Change Reconsidered series of digests of scientific research on climate change. Written with the assistance of more than 50 climate scientists from around the world, the series has been cited more than 100 times in peer-reviewed articles and praised by leading climate scientists from around the world. Another volume in the series, addressing the benefits and costs of fossil fuels, is currently in production.

Videos, Blogging, Podcasts, and Social Media

The Center has posted hundreds of videos featuring experts on climate change and other environmental issues on its YouTube channel. It educates the public via its blog at Freedom Pub and via Twitter and Facebook. It also produces podcasts on environment and energy topics with leading experts and people in the news.

Background

H. Sterling Burnett is a Senior Fellow for the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA).

According to theNational Center for Policy Analysis, “He has held various positions in professional and public policy organizations, including serving as a member of the Environment and Natural Resources Task Force in the Texas Comptroller's e-Texas commission,board of directors of the Dallas Woods and Water Conservation Club, and adviser for the American Legislative Exchange Council's Natural Resources Task Force.” [2]

Stance on Climate Change

February 22, 2004

“Proponents of policies to control human-induced global warming cite science as the basis for their claims and proposals. There is only one problem – as much as they claim otherwise, there is no scientific consensus for their theories.”[3]

August 15, 2001

“In other words, we do not know if the earth will get warmer or cooler in the future, and if temperatures do change, by how much or when, or if public policies can affect future temperature change.” [4]

December 5, 1998

“The current warming trend began as Earth came out of the little ice age—an important fact that is all too often overlooked in the global warming debate.” [5]

Key Quotes

October 9, 2017

Following EPA administrator Scott Pruitt's announcement that the Trump administration would be scrapping the Clean Power Plan, Burnett issued the following statement via the Heartland Institute: [24]

“[…] Even if it weren’t unconstitutional, it’s still terrible policy, because it imposes huge costs on individuals and businesses and makes the nation’s electric power supply less reliable—all while doing nothing to prevent climate change or to protect human health or the environment. Good riddance to a bad regulation.” [24]

2010

Burnett commented on the Gulf Oil Spill, claiming that “Environmentalists hyped the spill in an attempt to push the Senate to pass the largest energy tax in history.” His policy center also issued a press release describing the situation on the Gulf Coast as “more hype than reality.” [7], [8]

April 2007

“[T]here is no predicted human health effect from increased CO2 emissions at any foreseeable level. […] nothing the EPA could do would reduce the speculative effects of global warming on sea levels, human health, or weather patterns — since EPA regulations can't affect these things, it ought not to regulate emissions as if it could.” [6]

May 2006

In a May 2006 Fox News interview, Burnett compared Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebells' films. Burnett stated: [9]

“You don't go see Joseph Goebbels' films to see the truth about Nazi Germany. You don't want to go see Al Gore's film to see the truth about global warming.”

Key Deeds

November 9, 2017

Burnett was a speaker and moderator at theHeartland Institute's “America First Energy Conference” at the Marriott Hotel in Houston, Texas. Burnett spoke or moderated four panels on November 9 including: [29]

PANEL 1A: CLIMATE SCIENCE (Moderator)

PANEL 2B: PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT (Speaker)

See PDF and PowerPoint of presentation.

PANEL 3B: PEACE DIVIDEND: BENEFITS OF ENDING THE WAR ON FOSSIL FUELS (Moderator)

PANEL 6B: REFORMING EPA (Moderator)

The event description read as follows: [25]

“At the America First Energy Conference, we plan to examine—one year and one day after Trump’s shocking Election Day victory—the following:

“Where does Trump’s America First Energy Plan stand?

“How much progress has been made in implementing it, and what remains to be done?

“What scientific and economic evidence is there that the plan is putting the nation on the right path for economic growth, environmental protection, or both?”  [25]

In a fundraising letter obtained by DeSmog, Fred Palmer had promoted the event as having the goal to “review the scientific and economic evidence that exposes the fraud inherent in the Obama-era regulation regime” while discussing “the overwhelming benefits of fossil fuels to us all.” [26]

Many of the other speakers have regularly spoken at the Heartland Institute's past ICCCs. Notable speakers listed so far Joe Bast, Fred Palmer, Roger Bezdek, H. Sterling Burnett, Hal Doiron, Paul Driessen, John Dale Dunn, Myron Ebell, Heartland's new President Tim Huelskamp, Craig Idso, David Legates, Jay Lehr, Anthony Lupo, Ross McKitrick, Steve Milloy, Todd Myers, John Nothdurt, David Schnare, and numerous others. [27]

As reported at the Houston Chronicle, speakers notably included two Trump Administration officials: Richard W. Westerdale II of the State Department and Vincent DeVito of the Department of Interior. David Bernhardt, deputy secretary of the Interior Department, was also formerly listed as a Heartland conference speaker, but apparently withdrew. [30]

Scott Pruitt also addressed the conference in a recorded video, personally thanking Heartland for “what you're doing to advance energy” and “for what you're doing to advance natural resources.[31]

The Climate Investigations Center put up a parody of the America First Energy conference website, complete with profiles on the individual speakers and highlighting their corporate funding and ties to groups such as the Cooler Heads Coalition (CHC). [32]

November 3, 2017

Writing at The Heartland Institute, Burnett criticizes a report released by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) that totalled the direct costs of extreme weather events. The report had concluded the costs of extreme weather events and fire would continue to increase as a result of human-caused climate change. [28]

Burnett disagreed, calling the report “virtually useless for guiding climate change responses.” He states that the “complex models” used by the GAO “grossly overstate the amount of warming” while “Simpler climate models” by non-scientist Christopher Monckton or by other climate change deniers such as Willie Soon, David R. Legates, and William M. Briggs are “more accurate.” [28]

Burnett also argues that the GAO report “entirely ignores the tremendous benefits flowing from the use of fossil fuels” like the so-called “greening of the Earth” attributed to increased CO2 concentrations. [28]

March 23 - 24, 2017

H. Sterling Burnett was the moderator of three panels at the Heartland Institute's 12th International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC12).

Panel 1B) Climate Science

Panel 3A) Fossil Fuels and the Environment

Panel 5A) Sustainability

January 5, 2017

H. Sterling Burnett was a signatory to a Cornwall Alliance open letter supporting Scott Pruitt for EPA Administrator under the Trump administration. [13]

“Mr. Pruitt has also demonstrated understanding of and open-mindedness toward scientific insights crucial to the formulation and implementation of environmental regulation. He is prepared to hear all sides in debates over the risks and benefits of various activities that come under the purview of the EPA,” reads the letter. [13]

On January 12, 2017, Senate Democrats raised conflict of interest concerns regarding Scott Prutt's fossil fuel ties. Pruitt had spent years working to combat the Obama Administration's Clean Power Plan. [14]

In an open letter to the Office of Government Ethics, members of the Senate's environmental panel commented: [14]

“During his tenure as Attorney General of Oklahoma, Mr. Pruitt has blurred the distinction between official and political actions, often at the behest of corporations he will regulate if confirmed to lead EPA,” the letter said. “Public reporting based on documents produced by Freedom of Information Act requests illustrate how Mr. Pruitt and members of his staff have worked closely with fossil fuel lobbyists to craft his office's official positions.” [14]

Pruitt was further grilled on his fossil fuel ties at his confirmation hearing on January 18. [15]

Some notable signatories of the Cornwall Alliance letter, as of January 5, 2017, included:

May 12, 2015

H. Sterling Burnett is a signatory to an open letter to Pope Francis on climate change.The letter invites the Pope to reconsider his views on climate change before his upcoming encyclical letter on the environment, which is widely expected to call for measures to prevent climate change in the interests of the world's poor.

The open letter was coordinated and signed by Calvin Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance. According to the letter, “Good climate policy must recognize human exceptionalism, the God-given call for human persons to 'have dominion' in the natural world (Genesis 1:28), and the need to protect the poor from harm, including actions that hinder their ascent out of poverty.” Another excerpt below: [16]

”[…] the [climate] models are wrong. They therefore provide no rational basis to forecast dangerous human-induced global warming, and therefore no rational basis for efforts to reduce warming by restricting the use of fossil fuels or any other means.” [16]

Judith Curry comments on her blog Climate Etc. that “Arguably the most effective 'pushback' comes from Cal Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance, who coordinated An Open Letter to Pope Francis on Climate Change.” [17]

December, 2014

H. Sterling Burnett is a contributor to the book Climate Change: The Facts published by the Institute of Public Affairsand featuring “22 essays on the science, politics and economics of the climate change debate.” The Institute of Public Affairs, while not revealing most of its funders, is known to have received funding from mining magnate Gina Rinehart and at least one major tobacco company. [18]

Essays and articles from a range of climate change skeptics, while listed authors include: [18]

Dr Richard S. Lindzen

Dr Alan Moran

Jo Nova

Dr Willie Soon

Mark Steyn

H. Sterling Burnett is quoted in the Heartland Institute's press release, “Heartland Institute Climate Experts Comment on 18 Straight Years of No Global Warming,” which states “the global mean surface temperature has not risen for 18 consecutive years. This extends the so-called 'pause' in global warming to a new record, one not predicted by the climate models of the United Nations' International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).” Burnett writes: [19]

“Eighteen years of no warming. That means this year’s high school graduates were raised to believe in and fear something that stopped happening before they were born. We’ve had as many years of relatively steady temperatures as we had actual years of warming since the ice age panic of the 1970s. Growing Antarctic ice sheets, increased greening of the earth, more walruses and polar bears than at any time since the beginning of the 20th century, fewer hurricanes and tornadoes, only a modest sea level rise, longer life spans and better overall health … if these are the terrors of global warming, I’ll have more please.

“Every one of the climate models missed the lull. You’ve got to ask yourself, ‘Are you going to believe what the modelers tell you, or are you going to believe your “lying eyes,” which in this case is the actual measured temperature data?’ I’ll take hard data over faulty models any day.”  [19]

December 4, 2010

Attended the Cancun Climate Change Summit. He was interviewed by the BBC shortly before attending the summit:

April 9, 2008

Testified (PDF) before the Texas House Select Committee on Electric Generation & Environmental Effects on the topic of “Electrical Power for Texas: Economic and Environmental Considerations.” [10]

In his testimony, Burnett concludes, with regards to the concern that “the [coal-fired] plants will emit large quantities of carbon dioxide and contribute to global warming,” he has attached a “primer” that would explain why “this should not be an issue preventing the building of new coal fired power plants.”

August 2, 2002

Burnett was signatory to an open letter to President Bush written by Myron Ebell and Fred L. Smith congratulating Bush for not attending the World Summit on sustainable Development in Johannesburg, an event that they warned could result in “creating a World Environmental Organization.” [20]

December, 1997

In a report titled “Astroturf Troopers“ Mother Jones how the Global Climate Coalition (GCC) was “coordinating a secret coalition of extreme right-wingers and astroturf groups.” Internal memos (page 1, page 2) obtained by Mother Jones listed the names of several astroturf groups and representatives. H. Sterling Burnett's name appears on the list, beside the National Center for Policy Analysis. [21], [22], [23]
