ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL, Jan. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- United States Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) a member of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, will be a featured keynote speaker at the 15th International Conference on Climate Change, being held in Orlando, FL from Feb. 23-25, 2023.
Sen. Johnson is scheduled to take the stage at 12:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, February 24. His speech will be followed by an address by U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), a member of the House Resources Committee.
Other prominent keynote speakers include U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO); Jeff Clark, former Trump Administration DOJ official; Marlo Oaks, Treasurer of the State of Utah; and Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace. The conference theme is "The True Crisis: Climate Change or Climate Policy."
From the green energy boondoggles in the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” in the United States, to the ongoing wind-power disaster in Germany, and threats of energy cuts in the winter in the UK, the climate policy “solutions” are a real and growing problem for the people of the world. Why are we making life poorer and more miserable for most of the people on the planet when there is no climate crisis?
These issues and more will be discussed by scientists and policy experts at the only conference of its kind that takes a data-driven, realist approach to what is actually causing climate change and what (if anything) humans can do about it.

The Heartland Institute is the leading global think tank working with world-renowned scientists and policy experts – on a regular basis, and at our previous 14 conferences – who look at the data and do not see human activity causing an “existential” climate crisis. At this conference, you will hear that data-based, scientific case, why the scientific method must be restored, why the alarmist narrative must be broken, and why “green energy” is already unnecessarily causing the destruction of freedom and prosperity across the globe.
Johnson and Boebert join other prominent elected officials or federal appointees as speakers, including:
Marlo Oaks, state treasurer of Utah. He is expected to speak about fighting the ESG (environment, social, and governance) movement in the states.
Jeff Clark, former Assistant Attorney General of the Environment & Natural Resources Division of the U.S. Justice Department in the Trump administration. He is expected to speak about legal fights against the radical Biden climate and energy agenda.
Prominent scientists giving presentations at the conference include: Richard Lindzen, Ph.D., William Happer, Ph.D., Ian Plimer, Ph.D., David Legates, Ph.D., Willie Soon, Ph.D., Peter Hartley, Ph.D., Judith Curry, Ph.D., Ross McKitrick, Ph.D., and many more.
