Why are Climate Scientists Anti-Science? With Dr. David Legates

Climatologist David Legates challenges mainstream narratives on the climate, offering an important Christian perspective on the intersection of science, politics, and economics. Drawing insights from his book Climate and Energy: The Case for Realism, co-authored with leading scientists and economists, Legates builds upon our previous episode examining how climate science has shifted from objective inquiry to politicized advocacy.

We consider:

• Misleading claims in climate activism and how to respond critically.
• The implications of climate policy on global poverty, energy costs, and environmental stewardship.
• The rise of postmodern science and its impact on climate research
• Do climate change policies serve hidden agendas or impact broader societal transformations?

From the reliability of carbon dating to the role of the church in restoring scientific integrity, this episode invites you to question prevailing narratives and engage in practical, truth-centered environmental action.

Rediscover the essence of balanced climate science—and the hope for reclaiming stewardship that honors both creation and the Creator.
