Think Climate Alarmism is Dead? Go to a Blue State

With headlines declaring the end of climate extremism and federal withdrawals from global climate bodies making waves, many are celebrating what looks like a turning point. But is it really over?

In this episode, David R. Legates argues that while the federal government may be stepping back, the climate agenda is far from defeated. From sweeping state-level “NetZero” mandates to massive electrification plans, offshore wind expansion, hydrogen schemes, and the redesign of entire communities, the push for decarbonization is accelerating closer to home.

Drawing on personal experiences from the final days of the Soviet Union, Legates offers a sobering reminder: ideologies rarely disappear—they adapt. Climate alarmism, he contends, is no exception.

Before we celebrate victory, we need to ask a harder question: Are we winning the battle, while losing the war?
