#60 Linnea Lueken: Warmists are “playing with people's lives in a very literal sense” Jan 11, 2023

Show notes

Linnea Lueken is a Research Fellow with the Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy. While she was an intern with The Heartland Institute in 2018, she co-authored a policy brief 'Debunking Four Persistent Myths About Hydraulic Fracturing'.

Lueken graduated from the University of Wyoming in 2018 with a B.S. in Petroleum Engineering, and a minor in geology. In college, she was active in her sorority, the UW Shooting Sports Team, and College Republicans, as well as a variety of engineering organizations. Before coming to Heartland, she worked in the Gulf of Mexico on deepwater drillships as a logging geologist.

#59 Howard Hayden: “the IPCC does NOT apply the Stefan-Boltzmann law to their results” Jan 09, 2023

Show notes

Howard “Cork” Hayden is a Professor Emeritus of Physics from the University of Connecticut. A Pueblo native, he graduated from Aurora High School, entered the University of Denver as an engineering major, but soon discovered that he wasn’t temperamentally suited to all that reality. He switched to physics and went on to earn his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. at DU. On receiving his Ph.D., he went to the University of Connecticut where he spent 32 years doing teaching and research. He did accelerator-based atomic physics, including measurements of cross-sections for various processes, measurements of energy loss in atomic collisions and of lifetimes of excited states, beam-foil spectroscopy, and ion implantation. He performed a Trouton-Noble (1904) experiment with 100,000 times as much sensitivity as the original. Hayden has a long-standing interest in energy, stemming from before the OPEC oil embargoes of the 70s. Presently, he publishes a monthly newsletter, The Energy Advocate, which in August 2019 began its 24th year of publication.

#58 Gerald Pollack: “Electrical charge is absolutely central to all of weather" Dec 31, 2022

Show notes

Gerald Pollack received his PhD in biomedical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. He then joined the University of Washington faculty and is now professor of Bioengineering. He is also Founding Editor-in-Chief of the journal, WATER, convener of the Annual Conference on the Physics, Chemistry and Biology of Water, and Executive Director of the Institute for Venture Science.

His interests have ranged broadly, from biological motion and cell biology to the interaction of biological surfaces with aqueous solutions. His 1990 book, Muscles and Molecules: Uncovering the Principles of Biological Motion, won an “Excellence Award” from the Society for Technical Communication. His 2001 book, Cells, Gels and the Engines of Life, and his newest book, The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor won that Society’s “Distinguished Award,” their highest distinction. The latter book went on to receive the World Summit Excellence Award.

The underlying background appears in my book, "The Fourth Phase of Water", which has become popular: http://www.amazon.com/The-Fourth-Phase-Water-Beyond/product-reviews/0962689548 . Details of the application to weather will appear in my forthcoming book, to be published ~mid 2023. -- "Charged: The Unsuspected Role of Electricity in the Workings of Nature"

#54 Jerome Corsi on abiotic oil Dec 15, 2022

Show notes

Dr. Corsi received his Ph.D. from Harvard University’s Department of Government in 1972, when he was 20 years old. From 1972-to 1982, he worked as a university professor, with his final faculty appointment at the University of Denver. There, Dr. Corsi conducted a National Science Foundation randomized field test proving telephone hearings met due process standards in unemployment and welfare fair hearings. He also published game-theoretic articles in scientific journals and received a national security clearance to work with the U.S. State Department on terrorism. For the next 25 years, Dr. Corsi worked in financial services, where he created two bank marketing companies that each reached sales totals of $1 billion a year in annuities and $1 billion in mutual funds. Since 2004, Dr. Corsi has written 30 books on politics and economics, two of which were #1 New York Times bestsellers. He has retired from active involvement in day-to-day politics to devote more time to writing. He is also currently working with his wife, Monica Corsi, to create HablaConUnMD.com, a telemedicine Internet company providing Spanish-speaking medical doctors to conference remotely with Spanish-speaking patients.

Author of the 2022 book: The Truth About Energy, Global Warming and Climate Change: Exposing Climate Lies in an Age of Disinformation."

Corsi mentions Thomas Gold’s "The Deep Hot Biosphere: The Myth Of Fossil Fuels". Foreword by Freeman Dyson.
