The Week Climate Catastrophism Lost Its Grip

By The Heartland institute   October 28, 2025

Last week may go down as the moment when the climate narrative finally cracked. In climate parlance, a “tipping point” occurred.

In the space of a few days, two events reached millions of people outside the usual scientific and media gatekeeping apparatus, and they both told the same heretical story: that the science of climate catastrophe isn’t nearly as settled, nor as dire, as we’ve been told.

First, the world’s most-watched podcaster, Joe Rogan, hosted two of the most-respected dissenting climate scientists alive, Dr. Richard Lindzen of MIT and Dr. William Happer of Princeton, for a long-form conversation about the actual evidence behind global warming claims. The second event came from inside the climate establishment itself: Ted Nordhaus, founder of the Breakthrough Institute and once a self-described climate activist, published an essay titled “Why I Stopped Being a Climate Catastrophist.”

Each, in its own way, exposed the gulf between scientific nuance and political narrative — and together they may mark a turning point in public understanding.

For years, the mainstream press and peer-review gatekeepers ensured that anyone who questioned climate orthodoxy was dismissed as a “denier.” That tactic doesn’t work when Joe Rogan, whose audience dwarfs CNN’s, sits across the table from two emeritus professors calmly explaining why CO₂ is not the planetary thermostat it’s made out to be.

Lindzen and Happer have impeccable credentials. They are not bloggers, not “influencers,” but physicists who spent decades inside the world’s top research institutions. Their message was simple: the climate system is complex, and the claim that we can fine-tune global temperature with carbon taxes and wind turbines is fantasy.
