A Climate Conversation Podcast #18 with Steve Goreham
October 25, 2024
Hosts: Kim Monson & Dave O’Rourke
Guests: Steve Goreham, Executive Director of the Climate Science Coalition of America
Welcome to our podcast in support of A Climate Conversation, a documentary that seeks to foster an honest dialogue on climate change—its causes, its impact, and a science-based cost/benefit analysis of its potential solutions.
This edition of our podcast focuses on Steve Goreham’s extensive work addressing the realities of climate science and energy policy. Goreham, Executive Director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure, joins us to discuss the challenges facing the global push for renewable energy and the broader implications of current climate policies.
This podcast delves into the realities of energy policy, the myths surrounding climate change, and the unintended consequences of the net-zero agenda. Goreham brings his expertise to the table, shedding light on the science and economics behind these topics.
Topics include:
The science behind hurricanes: Are they really increasing due to human activity?
The inefficiencies and risks of wind and solar energy projects.
The rising costs and reliability challenges of green energy.
Global energy poverty and its devastating consequences.
Adaptation: A more effective approach to addressing climate challenges.
The overlooked role of water vapor as the dominant greenhouse gas.
We hear alarming statements about the need to eliminate fossil fuels, achieve net-zero emissions, and even ban meat and dairy consumption, but how realistic are these claims? Goreham explains why the global push for renewables is impractical and harmful to human flourishing. He highlights the critical importance of low-cost, reliable energy and the misguided nature of policies that aim to phase out hydrocarbons, which remain essential to modern life.
This podcast delivers hard science and thoughtful analysis, debunking common misconceptions while advocating for practical, people-centered solutions. Listeners will leave with a deeper understanding of the realities of climate science and energy policy, equipped with the knowledge to question the prevailing narratives.
