Laura Ingraham is an American television host on Fox News Channel, and is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of website LifeZette. She formerly hosted a radio show, The Laura Ingraham Show, and since 2017 she has run her own segment on Fox News called The Ingraham Angle.
On Climate Change
On The Ingraham Angle in 2021, Ingraham discussed her views on climate change and its impact during the COVID-19 lockdowns. She argues that the COVID lockdowns were the first step towards large-scale climate change lockdowns. “Yet now we see the usual suspects lining up to exploit another hyped crisis. Of course, I’m talking about climate change, and the end goal is the same. They want more of your money and your freedom.”
In an article by the Huffington Post on the same statement, Ingraham misused a report by the International Energy Agency to explain her theory. “In other words, a lockdown of another kind — this time in the name of climate change… COVID gave them the playbook for how to bring society to its knees and in fear. And now they have a new crisis perhaps to weaponize.”
Ingraham addressed the Global Climate Strike in 2019 on The Ingraham Angle with contributor Raymond Arroyo. Ingraham then asks Arroyo to discuss how “‘climate alarm-ism’ is rattling the young.” Clips are shown detailing the events, to which Ingraham and Arroyo respond with laughter. Ingraham finishes with claims that the climate movement gets teens to “turn over [their] freedom, [their] individual liberty to a greater good of government control.”
In 2012, on an episode of Fox and Friends, Ingraham described the issue of global warming as a religion, referring to it as “the church of the global warming.” She goes on to comment that “there are acceptable theologies out there, for which you won’t be ridiculed, and one of them is this maniacal adherence to global warming theories, despite the evidence that’s out there that calls some of those theories into question.”
