A concise 90-second summary of the climate hoax.

In this 90-second clip from a FreedomFest panel discussion, journalist Alex Newman argues that the environmental narrative around climate change is based on a flawed premise: treating CO2 as pollution. He calls this idea preposterous, noting that humans exhale about two pounds of CO2 daily and that human emissions make up only a tiny fraction (less than 1%) of atmospheric greenhouse gases. Newman contends that portraying CO2 as a pollutant allows for totalitarian control, since nearly every human activity—including living and dying—produces it, subjecting everything to regulation under the guise of saving the planet.

He dismisses claims that reducing CO2 footprints (e.g., by eating bugs or driving electric cars) benefits the environment, emphasizing instead that CO2 is plant food and has been highly beneficial. Citing Princeton physicist and Trump’s climate advisor Dr. William Happer, Newman states that Earth is “starving” for more CO2, and recent increases have led to greener landscapes and higher agricultural yields. He concludes that if CO2 isn’t pollution, then the alleged environmental benefits of anti-CO2 policies are entirely fictional.
