Maaneli (Max) Derakhshani: Does ENSO Dominate Global Warming? | Tom Nelson Pod #81 Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

Maaneli (Max) Derakhshani is a postdoctoral researcher currently based at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. He completed his Ph.D. in the Foundations of Physics at Universiteit Utrecht, and works in the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Gravity.

Maaneli has published his research in journals such as Physics Letters A, Journal of Physics, Pure and Applied Mathematics Quarterly, Entropy, and Symmetry, and has served as an anonymous referee for Physical Review A, Foundations of Physics, Fluctuations and Noise Letters, Studies in the History and Philosophy of Modern Physics, The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, and Cambridge University Press; his work has also been covered in Science, New Scientist, EurekaAlert!, Phys.org, and the Clubhouse show It's About Time!, among other media outlets.

Outside of physics, Maaneli has contributed a philosophical essay, “Another Thing in This Universe that Cannot Be an Illusion,” to the volume, Sam Harris: Critical Responses, and will contribute an essay to the upcoming volume, Steven Pinker: Critical Responses.

Maaneli is also a member of the Manhattan Institute and Adam Smith Society therein, and works with them to advocate for free markets and limited government. His shift to a more sensible view about climate change was initiated by reading Thomas Gale Moore's, Climate of Fear: Why We Shouldn't Worry About Global Warming, a book enthusiastically endorsed by his favorite economist, Milton Friedman, for making a compelling case that global warming will most likely bring net benefits to the general public.

Richard E. Klein on “Shivering: Heating Up the Global Warming Debate” | Tom Nelson Pod #80 Mar 10, 2023

Show notes

Richard was born and raised in Stratford, Connecticut. As a combination of the Great Depression and WW II, it was a time of economic hardship as well as national wartime mobilization. Richard’s upbringing was deeply affected by “the war,” as well as the glory of living in a booming post-war period. Americans were the good guys – we had defeated fascism and imperialism. In 1950, a thing called The Korean War changed all that. After three years of lackluster police action, America accepted a stalemate. Richard by his own admission is an incurable romantic and altruist. America’s lack of outright victory in Korea deeply impacted Richard’s world view. Nonetheless, Richard’s writings and musings are filled with hope and bright horizons as he points the way towards a better internal mindset and a better world.

Richard earned his Ph.D. in engineering from Purdue University, 1969. In terms of higher education, Richard was a product of the post-Sputnik era. He was trained to use science and mathematics to solve problems. Richard taught systems theory for three decades at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. Richard has researched and written about the causation of Earth’s periodic glaciations, i.e., ice ages. Richard authored and submitted his first peer-reviewed paper on glacial causation in 1972. His interest in ice age causation was prompted by an early report of Earth’s temperature history based on a Greenland ice core drilling. Richard has steadfastly and doggedly formed a working hypothesis that Earth’s periodic glaciations are internal to the earth and thus self-generating. His self-generating climate hypothesis stands in stark contrast to virtually all other candidate explanations. Most other candidate explanations start with the presumption that periodic glaciations result from external drivers. To date, all candidate external driver theories have failed to explain the extant climate history. The matter of explaining Earth’s periodic ice ages represents one of mankind’s most pressing and yet unsolved mysteries. Richard asserts that the present-day concern and alarmism concerning carbon emissions impacting Earth’s climate are without basis; as any discussion of climate alteration is pointless absent an understanding of Earth’s cyclical glaciation causation.

Richard and his wife of 59 years reside in the St. Louis area. They have two grown children and six grandchildren.

Markus Ott: “Dismantling The CO2 Hoax” | Tom Nelson Podcast #78 Mar 05, 2023

Show notes

Markus Ott, a chemist with a PhD, has been working as a researcher and developer in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry since 1994. He has mainly worked on the development of photolithographic methods for the production of biochips and on the development of light-curing plastics. In addition to the theoretical basics, he has the necessary practical experience to assess the interaction of light with matter. As an enthusiastic aviator, he is deeply interested in the processes in the atmosphere since his youth. The present text "Dismantling The CO2-Hoax" or the German version "Demomtage des CO2-Betruges" were written from the practitioner ́s perspective who has to deliver reliable products and cannot hide behind computer models.

John McLean: Putting the IPCC in Context | Tom Nelson Podcast #76 Feb 14, 2023

Show notes

My full time occupation is in Information Technology but it brings the following skills

* the ability to read and process digital data (and there's plenty of that in climate research)

* the ability to analyse data

* skills in logical thinking

Compare those skills to the skills(?) that some other voices on climate have, like biologist or politician, and to Phil Jones, head of the UK's Climatic Research Unit, who was ranked as one of the UK's top 100 scientists in 2010, but admitted in a Climategate email that he had no idea how to use Excel to calculate a trend.

Climate Brawl III: Gerald Kutney vs Dale Johnson | Tom Nelson Podcast #75 Feb 14, 2023

Show notes

Gerald Kutney (@geraldkutney) is a professor, journalist/speaker, author and founder/consultant of 6esm, a C-level consulting firm focused on the bio-economy, renewable energy and the politics of the Kyoto Protocol and others like it.

Gerald’s a frequent contributor to the HuffingtonPost, Canada’s National Observer and is the author of the peer-reviewed: Carbon Politics and the Failure of the Kyoto Protocol – in search for an answer to the failure of the international community to act on climate change.

Dale Johnson: Former alarmist (cooling world 1970s) Ozone (1980s) global warming (2000s)

I read the first batch of leaked emails 2009 just out of curiousity, reading the first 100 changed my alarmism into skepticism. I did read them all but just absorbed the information and started to post a few things on Twitter about it but kept getting banned. I used one ban from Twitter to take 4-5 months to read everything in ClimateGate 2.0 including Harry Read Me file, then started a new account and had a good friend that I met in the Philippine (graphics art background) team up with me and we become Dawn.

She's being stalked for our views so she can't post personal pics.

My background - high school (accounting) college (accounting) but dropped out; numbers were boring. I worked for Northern Telecom for a decade (world's top 3 telecom manufacturer - PBX, cell site equipment etc, several years quality control and ISO900 auditor for one line of cell site equipment. Other job opportunities since then included long haul truck driver (Canada - USA) Public works foreman (small municipal government in Alberta) water and waste water certified, current occupation professional driver for a local tourist related company.

I am a multidisciplinary engineer within electrical engineering, electronics/IT and construction. Also has a study in physics and astronomy at the University of Tromsø.

Knowledge and rational thinking are the basis for understanding what is actually going on. By not accepting anything, but verifying everything - or at least checking out - when I find strange claims.
