Flat Earth claims
The sun does not give off heat
In a January 2025 YouTube video, Thatcher declares that "heat is caused by the sun but does not come from the sun", and "the heat comes form the atmosphere [and] it comes from the light... the light comes from the sun; the heat comes from the light", and later, "the heat comes from the earth, not from the sun". Don't worry, you didn't just have a stroke, Iron Horse is making absolutely no sense.
