Jim Hollingsworth on his book “Climate Change, A Convenient Truth” | Tom Nelson Pod #195
About Jim Hollingsworth: I have always had a keen interest in weather and thus was in charge of the weather station on campus in Junior College. We posted our predictions on the campus bulletin board. Nine years working at the Bunker Hill Mine showed me that geologic processes take a lot of time.

Harold Seneker: Forbes 400 journalist tackles climate change hysteria | Tom Nelson Pod #192
About Harold Seneker: I am a retired financial writer and editor, whose most notable contribution was initiating and managing for years the Forbes 400, the annual listing of the richest people in America, and then of Forbes' lists of World Billionaires. So when the question of anthropogenic global warming came up for me, I could approach this new issue with an open mind and reporting skills, and no built-in biases or assumptions other than a well-honed skepticism about the truthfulness of people in high positions. If climate alarmism had proved justified, I would be in the forefront of people supporting it. However, what I found was different. 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Meet Harold Senecker: A Retired Journalist 00:53 Creating the Forbes 400 04:47 Investigating Anthropogenic Global Warming 05:47 The Controversy of East Anglia University's Data 08:37 The Medieval Warm Period and the Hockey Stick Graph 10:49 The Role of Journalism in Climate Change Research 14:03 The Impact of Carbon Dioxide and Methane on Global Warming 35:12 The Influence of Milankovitch Cycles on Earth's Climate 44:59 Conclusion: The Future of Climate Change Debate https://twitter.com/HaroldSeneker Blog: Harold Seneker’s Climate Discussion: https://hseneker.blogspot.com/ Tony Heller’s Real Climate Tools site: https://realclimatetools.com/ ========= AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomANelson Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomnelson.blogspot.com/2022/03/about-me-tom-nelson.html Notes for climate skeptics: https://tomn.substack.com/p/notes-for-climate-skeptics ClimateGate emails: https://tomnelson.blogspot.com/p/climategate_05.html

Peter Ridd: Science and the Great Barrier Reef | Tom Nelson Pod #191
Peter Ridd is a geophysicist with over 100 publications and 35 years’ experience working on the Great Barrier Reef and developed a wide range of world-first optical and electronic instruments for measuring environmental conditions near corals and other ecosystems. He was head of Physics at James Cook University for over a decade before being fired, in 2018, for questioning the quality assurance systems used by reef science institutions. Some of the poor-quality work relates to the effect, or lack of effect, of climate change, and agriculture, on the reef. Ridd now works, unpaid, with agricultural organisations, and the Institute of Public Affairs to improve quality assurance systems of “science” used by Australian governments to make environmental laws and regulations. 00:00 Introduction 00:37 The Great Barrier Reef: A Brief Overview 01:44 The Resilience and Health of the Reef 02:25 The Impact of Climate Change and Pollution on the Reef 02:55 The Physical Structure and Location of the Reef 04:42 Coral Growth Rates and the Impact of Temperature 09:03 The Alleged Impact of Farming on the Reef 12:17 The Future of the Reef and the Role of Young People 16:22 The Firing from James Cook University and the Fight for Quality Science 20:16 The Replication Crisis in Science and the Importance of Reliable Research 21:39 The Replication Crisis in Science 22:23 The Problem with Peer Review 23:11 The Decline of Scientific Debate 24:32 The Role of Social Media in Science 26:19 The Duty of Older Scientists 27:32 Emotion vs Objectivity in Science 29:39 The Need for New Scientific Institutions 30:09 The Role of Politicians in Science 35:38 The Future of Climate Skepticism 37:42 The Impact of Climate Alarmism on Society Slides for this podcast: https://tomn.substack.com/p/great-barrier-reef-information About Peter Ridd: https://co2coalition.org/teammember/peter-ridd/ Plato GBR: https://platogbr.com/ Reef Rebels YouTube: https://realscience.org.au/reef-rebels/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@peterridd5844 Ridd’s 2020 book: “REEF HERESY?
