Marc Morano keynote talk at DC Climate Summit: This is the high point for climate skepticism in the last 50 years
Review of Morano’s keynote speech from Canada’s Post & Mail: ‘Masterpiece:’ ‘Showmanship is an important skill at any intense conference like this: Think Marc Morano…He has the ability to capture an audience’s attention like no other’
By Tom Harris: (Apr. 16, 2026) — Of the hundreds of conferences I have attended in my career, the 16th International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC16) held on April 8 and 9 in Washington, DC stands out as one of the very best. The several dozen presentations were well researched, right on topic and delivered with the right combination of content, humor and showmanship.
Yes, showmanship, an important skill at any intense conference like this. Think Marc Morano, the keynote speaker at the closing dinner on the second day. Morano, publisher of CFACT’s Climate Depot and the author of the 2021 book Green Fraud, has the ability to capture an audience’s attention like no other. Just as he was starting to speak, I, and I noticed some others in the audience, were starting to show the impact of many hours of conference proceedings. But, then suddenly, it was half an hour later, Morano’s talk was over, and everyone had forgotten their tiredness. He began his speech by declaring, “We’re going to have some fun!” and indeed we did! Morano’s presentation was titled “The Great Reject: Triumphant Trump dismantles the Climate Agenda with Nary a Pushback” and is well worth watching by clicking here.
Besides Morano’s masterpiece…

At the 16th ICCC in Washington, D.C., Marc Morano argues that the global climate agenda is weakening, calling this the most promising moment for climate realism in the past 50 years.
The final talk of the 16th International Conference on Climate Conference in Washington DC (8 and 9 April) was given by Marc Morano of the website climatedepot.com. Morano is a longtime follower of the climate agenda (he visited close to all the yearly Conference of the Parties, COP’s). He gave a fascinating overview of how the climate agenda has been crumbling down in the past year or so, not only in the US but around the globe (although Europeans maybe notice this less). He concluded with the remark that we live in the best times for climate realism in the last 50 years.
That’s all good news, but Morano also warned that we aren’t there yet and that the forces behind the climate agenda can or will pop up again, for example these days in the form of energy lockdowns because of the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. So we have to be very vigilant. But the fact of the matter is that Trump, Chris Wright and administrator Lee Zeldin (who spoke at the Conference) are punching big holes in the climate agenda currently and that the other side is not fighting back at all. They seem to have given up, maybe because of a lack of funding (Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Larry Fink all moved away from the climate agenda, partly or mainly because of their interests in AI for which you need dispatchable energy).
The Conference in Washington is organised every year by the Heartland Institute. Clintel and The Heartland Institute (and maybe other organisations) have serious plans to organise next year’s conference in The Netherlands.
The complete recordings of both days (in both rooms) are available on the conference website. You can see the presentation by Clintel Director Marcel Crok: here.
