The Tenpenny Files with Gregory Wrightstone

For decades, the public has been told there is no debate and that the science is settled. That questioning the climate narrative is reckless, dangerous, and irresponsible.

Gregory Wrightstone pressed forward when the answers became inconvenient – and he is not backing down.

A geologist with more than 30 years in the field, a bestselling author, and Executive Director of the CO₂ Coalition, Wrightstone has reviewed the same data used to justify global panic. What he found did not match the warnings. It didn’t support the predictions. And it certainly didn’t justify the fear being imposed on the next generation.

In this conversation, Wrightstone explains why modest warming and rising CO₂ levels align with human flourishing, agricultural abundance, and ecosystem expansion. He traces how temperature changes have shaped civilizations across history and why warm periods consistently coincide with prosperity while cold eras bring collapse, famine, and depopulation. He addresses the myth of a 97% scientific consensus, the misuse of climate models, and why predictive forecasts continue to fail when measured against real-world data.

He also speaks candidly about censorship. About being blocked before posting a single word. About being erased from platforms for citing evidence that contradicts policy agendas. And about why that suppression is weakening, not strengthening, the narrative.

If climate fear has been used to justify economic destruction and agricultural shutdowns, it has also been driven deep into classrooms, curricula, and the thinking of younger generations. Educational systems increasingly reward compliance over inquiry, shaping students to accept catastrophe as inevitable and discouraging questions that fall outside the approved framework.
At the same time, this narrative has fueled sweeping financial and government initiatives – mandates, restrictions, penalties, and new layers of taxation – all advanced under the assumption that dissent is irresponsible and debate is settled.

That raises questions few are encouraged to ask. What agenda is served by governing through fear? What systems are being built on it? And what happens when the data tells a different story than the one being enforced?

The consequences will shape far more than the climate.

Meet our Guest:

Gregory Wrightstone is a geologist, bestselling author, and Executive Director of the CO2 Coalition. With more than three decades in geology and energy exploration, Wrightstone has worked directly with large-scale data sets, historical climate records, and real-world measurements rather than theoretical projections.
He is the author of Inconvenient Facts: The Science That Al Gore Doesn’t Want You to Know and A Very Convenient Warming: How Modest Warming and More CO₂ Are Benefiting Humanity. His work has earned him recognition as an Expert Reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, placing him inside the same review process often cited as beyond question.
Through his writing and leadership at the CO₂ Coalition, Wrightstone focuses on documented evidence, historical context, and scientific method, challenging claims that rely on consensus messaging rather than verifiable data.
