- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1663-climate-change-special/chapter/ecoamerica-and-climate-change-rebranding.md

The marketing firm EcoAmerica is reported to be advising environmentalists to rebrand "global warming" and "cap-and-trade" to avoid negative public perceptions. Suggested new terms include "deteriorating atmosphere" and "pollution reduction refund." The hosts analyze this as a sophisticated PR effort to make environmental taxes and regulations more palatable to the general public.

Climate scientist Michael Mann appears on ABC with George Stephanopoulos to discuss the IPCC report. Mann claims that climate change is now visible "on television screens and in newspaper headlines." The hosts speculate that the next phase of the narrative will involve connecting climate change to COVID-19, potentially using pollution levels in Wuhan as a link to justify "climate lockdowns."

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1257-doggy-dna/chapter/covid-19-as-a-genetic-update-and-carbon-toxicity.md

Dr. Zach Bush proposed that the novel coronavirus is part of a "genetic update" for humanity and that PCR tests are misleading because the presence of viral DNA does not equal disease. He linked COVID-19 mortality rates to air pollution, noting that deaths in Hubei province flatlined once carbon particulate levels dropped. Bush characterized "flu season" as "carbon toxicity season" caused by the soil's inability to pull carbon in winter.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1094-justice-4-hillary/chapter/justin-trudeau-carbon-tax-and-price-on-pollution.md

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his government's carbon tax, repeatedly framing it as a "price on pollution" during a CBC interview. Trudeau argued that the tax is necessary to meet Paris Agreement targets and that revenue is returned to citizens via rebates. He dismissed comparisons to the "Yellow Vest" protests in France, asserting that Canada's rebate system prevents the civil unrest seen under Emmanuel Macron.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1018-bunny-wars/chapter/al-gore-carbon-pollution-climate-change-definitions.md

Al Gore's "Climate Reality Project" released new definitions distinguishing "global warming" from "climate change." The term "carbon pollution" is highlighted as a new linguistic tool to frame carbon dioxide as a pollutant. The hosts mock the idea that all carbon-based life forms are essentially responsible for "pollution."

Rodney Eaton asks about the show's stance on clean energy and environmental issues. The hosts clarify that they support nuclear energy but oppose carbon taxes and subsidized wind/solar. They argue that the term "carbon pollution" is a linguistic trick designed to make people subconsciously think of "soot."

### House Hearing on Aircraft Carbon Emissions

- **Episode:** [752: Gender Binary](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/752-gender-binary.md)
- **Published:** 2015-08-30
- **Time:** 1:39:47–1:42:07
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/752-gender-binary/chapter/house-hearing-on-aircraft-carbon-emissions.md

A U.S. House hearing addressed the need to regulate carbon emissions from the aircraft industry, which has historically avoided strict environmental oversight. Proponents of the regulation argue that the U.S. must reduce emissions by 35% to 65% by 2030 to meet climate goals. However, there is significant skepticism regarding whether these policies will gain traction or if the airline industry will successfully lobby against them.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/712-kalette/chapter/climate-change-national-security-and-surgeon-general-vivek-murthy.md

President Obama and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy have designated climate change as a primary national security and public health threat. Murthy claims rising temperatures will increase the prevalence of asthma and tropical diseases like dengue and chikungunya in the United States. The hosts criticize these claims, suggesting the President's past smoking habits are a more likely cause for his daughter's asthma than carbon dioxide levels.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/711-facebook-thuggin/chapter/climate-change-health-claims-obama-on-asthma.md

President Obama has begun linking climate change and greenhouse gas emissions directly to rising rates of asthma in the United States. Critics argue that scientifically connecting carbon dioxide levels to specific respiratory health outcomes is difficult and serves a political narrative regarding "carbon pollution."

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/663-pupil-progression-plan/chapter/hiroshima-bomb-analogy-and-ocean-heat-hiding.md

Climate activists are criticized for using an analogy that global warming is equivalent to detonating four Hiroshima bombs every second. The hosts mock the theory that "missing" heat is hiding in the deep ocean and predict the movement will shift its focus to "ocean acidification" as temperature data fails to support warming. They reiterate their skepticism of computer models that cannot accurately predict short-term weather.

The hosts critique Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s stance on ending oil dependence through decentralized wind and solar power. They argue that modern nuclear technologies, such as breeder reactors, are the safest and most efficient way to achieve energy independence without carbon pollution, despite public fear.

President Obama introduced the concept of "climate assistance," noting that U.S. efforts now reach over 120 nations. He urged all nations to join the effort "before it's too late," a phrase noted for its frequent use in environmental rhetoric. The address concluded with a message that the world calls on America whenever it is threatened, a sentiment critics find embarrassing and abhorrent.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/629-passport-terrorists/chapter/climate-change-data-controversy-obama-liberal-plot-comment.md

The Telegraph published a report alleging that global warming data from NOAA and NASA has been manipulated to exaggerate temperature increases. President Obama addressed climate change skeptics in a speech, dismissing their concerns as a "liberal plot" and criticizing members of Congress for "ducking the question" by claiming they are not scientists. The hosts argue the terminology has shifted from global warming to "carbon pollution" for political effect.

### EPA Carbon Dioxide Declaration, Pollution Taxes

- **Episode:** [188: Easter Haiku and iPads For You](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/188-easter-haiku-and-ipads-for-you.md)
- **Published:** 2010-04-04

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/188-easter-haiku-and-ipads-for-you/chapter/epa-carbon-dioxide-declaration-pollution-taxes.md

The EPA is expected to officially declare carbon dioxide a dangerous gas, paving the way for new federal taxes on carbon emissions. This move is interpreted as a strategy to generate revenue to service the $23 trillion national debt, rebranded as a "pollution tax" after the failure of "cap and trade" legislation.
