On this week's Power Hour, Alex Epstein interviews economist Ross McKitrick, famous for debunking Michael Mann's once-ubiquitous "hockey stick," about how climate science gets distorted--so that what the public hears about climate science is a wild exaggeration of what most climate scientists actually believe.  

McKitrick explains:
- How the "hockey stick" became ubiquitous despite widespread concerns about its (in)validity.
- The real track record of climate models.
- Why climate economists are coming under attack for rejecting climate catastrophism.
- Why climate catastrophists face a reckoning over the next 10 years.
- What we can expect from the UN IPCC's upcoming AR 6.
- Why we almost never discuss the benefits of fossil fuels, including their role in driving progress.
