Independent Institute Senior Fellow Williamson Evers is interviewed about California's curriculum to teach Ethnic Studies in schools. Some suggest teaching the curriculum to Kindergarten students through high school.

“The Data Shows No Climate Emergency” Research Fellow Anthony Lupo, co-author of Hot Talk, Cold Science appears on The Michael Berry Radio Show
Posted: Thu. March 11, 2021, 3:28pm PT

There is no climate emergency, says Research Fellow Anthony Lupo, who is co-author of the book Hot Talk, Cold Science: Global Warming’s Unfinished Debate. Why are forecasts incorrect? IPCC reports are often interpreted as dire by climate alarmists, he says, while most of the reports are actually quite sanguine. Even weather forecasts models can be inaccurate over 5 days, and longer term climate models can vary greatly. As for carbon emissions, the market is doing a great job at reducing emissions, Lupo says.
