Every week, I host 'The KJ Show,' which offers a mix of breaking news and practical advice on how the energy industry affects the consumer. During this fast-paced show, I combine weekly energy updates with conversations with leaders in the energy efficiency community.

After each show, I'll share it here with the Energy Central Community in case you were unable to join me live.

The KJ Show #92 - Climate Culture Wars

Climate change debates have become a culture war, pitting factions against each other in an increasingly hostile war of words. Quite simply, the goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has morphed into an ideological tyranny that wants to control every aspect of our lives.

As one article explained, "As climate solutions and policies move from the abstract to the personal — our cars, our food and how we keep our homes warm — it has created fertile ground for anger and fear and has fanned the flames of a culture war long in the making."

The stage for this was set decades earlier when Jonah Goldberg, the founding editor of the "National Review Online" set up this debate. "The beauty about global warming is that it touches everything we do—what we eat, what we wear, where we go. Our 'carbon footprint' is the measure of man."

But is it? Should governments create policies that touch every aspect of our lives? On this episode Dr.Katherine Johnson how climate change discussions have become a culture war.
