The Tenpenny Files: Climate, Consensus, and the Consequences 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.

--------------------

This discussion doesn’t just confront climate claims. It exposes how fear narratives are constructed, repeated, and enforced — often at the expense of discernment, mental clarity, and long-term resilience.

That opens the door to several foundational areas I consistently emphasize.

Cognitive Dissonance & Discernment Education -
When people are taught to ignore evidence that conflicts with approved narratives, cognitive dissonance becomes a control mechanism rather than a psychological concept. This is exactly why our Cognitive Dissonance education exists — to help people recognize how contradictory information is processed, suppressed, or rejected, and how to regain clear thinking in an environment designed to confuse it.

This course is about pattern recognition, mental resilience, and learning how to evaluate claims without emotional coercion. https://shoptenpenny.net/products/cognitive-dissonance

Detox & Foundational Resilience -
Long-term exposure to fear, stress, and information overload has physiological consequences. Chronic stress increases inflammation, disrupts detox pathways, and impairs cognitive clarity. That’s why I consistently point people back to foundational detox support — not as a cure, but as a practical tool for reducing toxic burden while the nervous system and brain are under sustained pressure.

Detox is not about trends. It’s about clearing what doesn’t belong so the body can respond appropriately to reality. Pack.DrTDetox.com

Circulation, Oxygenation & Brain Support -
Discernment requires a well-supported brain. Circulation, oxygen delivery, and vascular health play a direct role in mental clarity, focus, and energy. Foundational nitric-oxide support fits naturally alongside conversations about long-term stress, decision-making under pressure, and sustained cognitive load. CardioMiracle.com/drt

Ongoing Education & Context -
Episodes like this highlight why surface-level information isn’t enough. Our Prime Membership exists for those who want deeper context, expert-led discussions, and long-form education that doesn’t collapse under scrutiny.
