Representative from the Heartland Institute visits Vienna

On October 6, 2026, according to an announcement, James Taylor, president of the Heartland Institute, spoke from the U.S. at an event in Vienna, Austria, organized by the Freedom Academy Vienna—an organization affiliated with the FPÖ—on the topic “The Price of Climate Communism—Who Pays the Bill?” The Heartland Institute is considered a well-funded lobbying organization for climate change deniers.

The participation of a representative from the institute is not the organization’s only connection to Europe. In addition to the far-right European Parliament faction Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN), it also appeared as a supporter of the 17th “Climate Conference” of the European Institute for Climate and Energy e.V. (EIKE), which took place on June 26 and 27, 2026, in Halle/Saale. EIKE is the most important organization of climate change deniers in Germany.
