    Soeren Hansen: Why wind and solar will not work | Tom Nelson Pod #110

    I have a master's degree in chemical engineering, and have worked in the Danish industry for all of my career. I got involved with the environment in connection with my employment and prepared courses for our staff over many years. This led gradually to an interest in the climate issue, which I have been following for the past some 10 years. I retired in late 2019 and thereupon devoted most of my time on the climate and renewable energy issues. I got involved with the Danish Climate Realism Association and have for the past 3 years been the editor of the Association's web page: klimarealisme.dk, as well as being a member of the Board. The web page is uniquely in the Danish language, everything we publish is written in Danish or translated. Besides writing and editing articles for the web page I engage in giving presentations on climate issues, whenever anyone is interested. I am also the author of a book on the renewable energy transition (why it will fail) and a dystopic novel set in 2050 where Denmark has reached the vaunted net-zero emissions status - at tremendous cost to the ordinary people.

    Tony Thomas: Don't trust the media on climate | Tom Nelson Pod #108

    TONY THOMAS has been a journalist in Australia since 1958 when he went straight from school at 18 to The West Australian newspaper, doing news and light features. He concurrently studied literature at university for eight years. In 1971 he switched to Economics coverage in the federal press gallery in Canberra, and a decade later he moved to Melbourne writing for the magazine Business Review Weekly for 20 years. He retired from paid journalism in 2001 but continues writing for the right-of-centre blog Quadrant Online. In the past ten years his output there has been 450-plus essays totalling about a million words. All up he’s been reporting for 65 years. He’s authored close to a dozen books on anthropology, business, history, current affairs and climate, including five collections of his Quadrant essays in the past six years. See https://www.connorcourtpublishing.com.au/Tony-Thomas_bymfg_59-0-1.html Tony’s style is forensic and often humorous. He figures the most effective weapon against climate cultists is to ridicule them via their own overblown words and nonsense — with academics as one of his favourite targets. He continues to be amazed at how much incriminating material the climate cultists publish to their own detriment. Tony turns 83 in June 2023 but has still not reached Shakespeare's finale of "second childishness and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.” Preferred pronouns: Ze, Hir, Zir. “Ze is a writer and wrote that book zirself. Those ideas are zirs. I like both zir and zir ideas.” Tony’s Quadrant work: https://quadrant.org.au/?s=%22tony+thomas%22 Thomas mentioned these Arizona State climate cult prizes: https://news.asu.edu/20220412-creativity-asu-climate-narratives-prize-announces-inaugural-awardees 00:00 Introduction 01:14 Overblown nonsense 04:37 Censorship Industrial Complex 05:51 BBC Verify 06:54 28Gate 08:16 Trusted News Initiative 09:45 Climate Council 15:35 Covering Climate Now 24:03 Earth Journalism Network 27:43 Huge grid problems in South Africa 29:15 News Guard 31:21 Science Feedback 36:53 Q and A —— https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 Summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries Tom Nelson's Twitter: https://twitter.com/tan123 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

    Harry Decker: Climate realism from a longtime Arizona resident | Tom Nelson Pod #103

    After graduating from high school, HARRY DECKER spent ten years in the U.S. Air Force working with computers in military intelligence. He has lived in ten different states and took college classes in five of them. He never completed a college degree, however, due to changing his mind about his career. He has attended various technical schools over the years to keep up with the changing industry. In civilian life, he worked as a computer operator, programmer, technical writer, and tech support specialist for various companies such as Maricopa County, St. Joseph’s Medical Center, Information Network Corporation, and Charles Schwab International. His hobby at one time was tournament chess, but he dropped that and took up creative writing and filmmaking. He had a short story published five years ago titled “A. I. Gone Amok,” a fictional tale about the dangers of artificial intelligence and that the deep state was planning on releasing a virus that would kill millions. Now retired, he writes and directs plays. And he’s working on a short film. He has also written numerous technical reports over the past three years that challenge climate alarmist claims and the green agenda.
