Show 14-31 Summary: No, it’s not the hottest ever. But if you believe in global warming, we might have some sustainable unicorns to sell you. This week we have some common sense answers for the enviro mentally impaired.  One is to learn to not buy the snake oil they’re selling you. Another is to learn they are jimmying the temperature data. We talk about the Supreme Court’s ruling that overturned its previous Chevron deference opinion. And we discuss some common sense, environmental model legislation that even the far left might have a hard time saying no to.

The I Spy Radio Show airs weekends, seven times over the weekend, on seven different stations. Listen anywhere through the stations’ live streams! Check out when, where, and how to listen to the I Spy Radio Show. Podcast available Mondays after the show airs on our network of stations.

This Week – Common Sense Answers for the Enviro Mentally Impaired

Summer isn’t even over and already we’re hearing it’s the “hottest ever.” Could it be because temperature sensors are miscalibrated? Badly so? We talk with meteorologist Chuck Wiese about what he’s uncovered in just the Portland and Salem (Oregon) areas. And it’s not just a little miscalibration. It’s off by a lot.

Chuck is not only a trained scientist but has become a political activist, especially around election integrity. So we just have to ask him about Judicial Watch serving the state of Oregon with a “pre-suit” notice and their intent to sue. Unless Oregon follows the law and cleans up its voter rolls.

• 19 Oregon counties reported zero voters removed from their rolls from Nov 2020 – Nov 2022
• 10 Oregon counties reported only a handful of removals
• That’s 29 out of 36 counties out of compliance

Then we pick up our discussion again with Craig Rucker, the co-founder and president of CFACT. Last time, we barely scratched the surface about the importance and downstream effects of the Supreme Court’s overturn of the Chevron Deference (aka “Chevron Doctrine”).

Oregon’s former governor used state agencies to shove through her “Climate Protection Plan” which would cost Oregonians billions and do nothing for the environment. It was thrown out by Oregon’s courts. But now the state agency is at it again. Could the death of the Chevron deference come into play here?

Plus, we talk about some environmental model legislation that they teamed up with ALEC (that’s long-time I Spy Radio guest, Jonathan Williams’ group, the American Legislative Exchange Council). It is so common sense that even the far left might have a hard time saying no to.
