The Heartland Institute celebrated its 34th Anniversary with a reception and dinner at The Cotillion in Palatine, Illinois, on Friday October 26, 2018. 

The Heartland Institute held its Third Annual Picnic for Freedom on Saturday June 2 to share some of its accomplishment of the past year and to celebrate what is yet to come in the years ahead.

Eighty liberty-loving friends joined together for insight into how Heartland aims to tackle the big issues to push back against the crushing big government agenda, knowing that fighting for freedom is a rough sport. 

John Nothdurft and Donny Kendal present episode #100 of the In The Tank Podcast. Today’s podcast features work from The Heartland Institute, and the National Center for Public Policy Research.

What distinguished tonight’s CBS Evening News from every other was the inclusion of a perspective from “climate realists.” The climate realist featured at the 14:58 mark in the video above was Heartland Institute President Joseph Bast.

Someone asked if we could reply more specifically to some of the claims made in yesterday’s news release from Congressman Grijalva (S-AZ) and two other liberal Democrats. Okay.

Tonight at 7 p.m. ET, Heartland Institute President Joe Bast will give a live-streamed presentation that was a huge hit at CPAC last week – “Never Again Lose a Debate with a Climate Alarmist: Why Scientists Disagree About Global Warming.” About 150 people crammed into a room to fit only 111 to hear Joe talk.

David Haynes’ column last week on global warming (“We need straight talk on climate change,” Dec. 1) was especially frustrating for those of us who closely follow the scientific and political debate. I appreciate his invitation to share my thoughts with Journal Sentinel readers.

Klein’s greatest strength is recognizing that nothing less than the abolition of capitalism will achieve the drastic reductions in emissions her side is calling for … and she’s willing to say it out loud. I love that about her. The leaders of the environmental movement, who pretend this isn’t about ideology and that “stopping” climate change would be costless, hate her for revealing this.

Parents and students should be treated more like customers of a service business, with private schools competing to do the best job possible for each child. Not only would schools be run more efficiently with little or no bureaucracy, but they would be responsive to their customers: parents and teachers.

“Freedom Triumphant” was the theme of The Heartland Institute’s 30th Anniversary Benefit Dinner.

No, this isn’t a missive from Nigerian scam artist. Next week is School Choice Weekly’s first anniversary, and to celebrate, we’re handing out prizes for readers who share our free…

Heartland and the scientists it works with have never promoted “denial of a changing climate.” The climate is always changing. The question is whether man’s contribution to climate change rises above statistical noise and whether it is a crisis.
