    #40 - Jim Steele: “Wrong analyses produce bad remedies”

    Jim has a Master’s degree in ecology from San Francisco State University where he was appointed the Director of its Sierra Nevada Field Campus. He served in that capacity for 25 years, building its environmental education program and researching the effects of regional climate change on bird populations as part of the Sierra Nevada Neotropical Migratory Bird Riparian Habitat Monitoring project for the United States Forest Service. Jim’s research culminated in the successful restoration of the Carman Creek watershed and its wildlife. In addition to lecturing at the university, he also taught science at inner-city schools. https://twitter.com/JimSteeleSkepti https://perhapsallnatural.blogspot.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7XNHEz2QCJ_Phf2mvDFk0Q “Landscapes & Cycles: An Environmentalist's Journey to Climate Skepticism” https://a.co/d/00aWWOr —— 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://tomnelson.blogspot.com/2019/06/useful-notes-for-climate-skeptics.html ClimateGate emails: https://tomnelson.blogspot.com/p/climategate_05.html

    #39 - Russell Cook: On climate change, “the mainstream media has not done its job”

    Russell Cook is an unpaid advisor to Heartland regarding the origins of false 'industry corruption' accusations leveled at global warming "skeptics." Among those occasional contributions is "Merchants of Smear," which was published as a Heartland Policy Brief in 2014. In 2013, Heartland created the bare-bones online structure for his GelbspanFiles.com blog, which has a regular outlet for Cook to provide myriad detail on the way corporate collusion accusations against skeptic scientists and places like Heartland fall apart, and who the people are behind these false accusations. Cook is the author of numerous articles at American Thinker, RedState, Breitbart,and WattsUpWithThat.

    #36 - Ronan Connolly: “rural U.S., we're finding it was about as warm in ‘30s, ‘40s as present”

    I am an independent scientist, environmentalist and writer. My primary university degree was in Chemistry, and my PhD in computational chemistry/polymer physics. However, in 2004, I shifted to environmentalism, and began working with my father, Dr. Michael Connolly, on developing sustainable methods of fish-farming, aquaponics and waste-water treatment. We also carried out research into developing low-cost heat exchanger systems and new energy efficient building materials and techniques. In 2009, we began systematically investigating the challenging subject of climate change in detail. After five years of this research, we realised that we had gained a lot of important insights which would be of interest to the scientific community. We set up a website, OpenPeerReviewJournal.com, where we published all our results and findings as a series of eight scientific papers. We also realised that our findings could be of interest to the general public, and so we also set up a separate website, Globalwarmingsolved.com, in which we summarised our findings in a less technical format. My mother, Dr. Imelda Connolly, also worked with us on it. Since then, we have met and/or discussed our findings with hundreds of scientists around the world. We have sought and received useful feedback on our research, and this has led to several useful scientific collaborations. We have written up and published the results of several of these collaborations in peer-reviewed journals (see the “Peer-reviewed publications” section for more details). In 2018, I began working full-time on my climate change and environmental research through a new international research group, the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES-Science.com). Currently, I am writing a book on “Bridging the political divide on climate change” (see the “Ongoing projects” section for more details). I am also continuing my scientific research through a number of collaborative projects with other researchers. We are writing and publishing our findings in peer-reviewed journals as time permits.

    #31 - Michael Kelly: An engineer shows us what net zero would really mean

    Michael Kelly was Prince Philip Professor of Technology at the University of Cambridge during 2002-16 and Emeritus since 2016. His previous career in academia and industry concerned the physics of high-performance semiconductor devices and the manufacturability of nanoscale artefacts. His interest in climate science and mitigation was piqued by the UK Climate Change Act of 2008, where, as part-time Chief Scientific Advisor to the Department for Communities and Local Government for Her Majesty’s Government, he assumed a leading role in defining the need for a national retrofit programme for the UK’s building stock to help achieve a reduction in the 45% of the UK’s CO2 emissions that came from heating air and water in buildings. During 2010-2016 he led the teaching of undergraduate and postgraduate engineers with a course ‘Present and Future Energy Systems, the study of how the UK get’s its energy now and how it might in 2050. It was here that he first appreciated the scale of the retrofit programme, and in later extensions, the cost in terms of finance, materials and human resources, of achieving a Net-Zero Economy for the UK by 2050. https://www.csap.cam.ac.uk/network/michael-kelly/ —— 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://tomnelson.blogspot.com/2019/06/useful-notes-for-climate-skeptics.html ClimateGate emails: https://tomnelson.blogspot.com/p/climategate_05.html

    #29 - Willie Soon: “This CO2 stuff is…pure delusion. You cannot find any signature of that.”

    Dr. Willie Soon, an astrophysicist and geoscientist, is a leading authority on the relationship between solar phenomena and global climate. In this 32+ years of singular pursuit, he seeks to understand the Sun-Earth relations in terms of not only meteorology and climate, but also in terms of orbital dynamics of Sun-Earth-other planets interactions, magmatic (volcanoes) and tectonic (earthquakes) activities. His discoveries challenge computer modelers and advocates who consistently underestimate solar influences on cloud formation, ocean currents, and wind that cause climate to change. He has faced and risen above unethical and often libelous attacks on his research and his character, becoming one of the world's most respected and influential voices for climate realism. In 2018, he founded the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES-science.com) in order to tackle a wider range of issues and topics without fears nor prejudices. Dr. Soon was an astrophysicist at the Solar, Stellar and Planetary Sciences Division of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, from 1991-2022. He served as receiving editor for New Astronomy from 2002-2016, astronomer at the Mount Wilson Observatory from 1992-2009. He is also on the editorial board of Geoscience, an MDPI publication since 2020 as well as serving as Review Editor of Frontiers in Earth Science starting 2022. Dr. Soon has also held the role of visiting professors at various institutions including University of Putra, Malaysia, Institute of Earth Environment of Xian, China and State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science at Xiamen University. Since September 2021, Dr. Soon is also affiliated with Hungary’s Institute of Earth Physics and Space Science. Dr. Soon earned bachelor's and master's degrees in science and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the University of Southern California. "The whole point of science is to question accepted dogmas. For that reason, I respect Willie Soon as a good scientist and a courageous citizen.’’ — Freeman Dyson in the Boston Globe, November 5, 2013 About Willie Soon: https://www.ceres-science.com/willie-soon 103 of his peer-reviewed papers: https://lweb.cfa.harvard.edu/~wsoon/ “How much has the Sun influenced Northern Hemisphere temperature trends?

    #24 - IPCC expert reviewer Kenneth P. Green on the IPCC and the climate "socialist amoeba"

    Kenneth P. Green is a Fraser Institute senior fellow and author of over 800 essays and articles on public policy, published by think tanks, major newspapers, and technical and trade journals in North America. Mr. Green holds a doctoral degree in environmental science and engineering from UCLA, a master’s degree in molecular genetics from San Diego State University, and a bachelors degree in general biology from UCLA. Mr. Green’s policy analysis has centered on evaluating the pros and cons of government management of environmental, health, and safety risk. More often than not, his research has shown that governments are poor managers of risk, promulgating policies that often do more harm than good both socially and individually, are wasteful of limited regulatory resources, often benefit special interests (in government and industry) at the expense of the general public, and are almost universally violative of individual rights and personal autonomy. Mr. Green has also focused on government’s misuse of probabilistic risk models in the defining and regulating of EHS risks, ranging from air pollution to chemical exposure, to climate change, and most recently, to biological threats such as COVID-19. Mr. Green's longer publications include two supplementary text books on environmental science issues, numerous studies of environment, health, and safety policies and regulations across North America, as well as a broad range of derivative articles and opinion columns. Mr. Green has appeared frequently in major media and has testified before legislative bodies in both the United States and Canada.
