    Clare Craig: “Spiked” | Tom Nelson Pod #377

    Tom interviews British doctor Clare Craig about her new book (including a newly released audiobook) and her involvement in a European Court of Human Rights case. Craig describes being smeared and censored during COVID, alleging UK information operations involving the 77th Brigade and a Counter Disinformation Unit, and cites claims of UN/UNICEF-funded influencer campaigns and problematic WHO priorities. She argues COVID policies (lockdowns, masking, distancing) and vaccines failed to stop infection, severe disease, or death, critiques scientific publishing and peer review, and recounts a dispute with The Lancet over a myocarditis paper she says misused data. Craig discusses ethical drift toward utilitarian public health, revisits historical narratives on smallpox vaccination and the 1918 “Spanish flu” (including a possible aspirin-toxicity role), and outlines the Finnish “Mika” case over vaccine restrictions. 00:00 Meet Clare Craig 09:26 Losing Trust In Institutions 18:42 Ethics Nuremberg To Helsinki 24:51 Smallpox Vaccine Origins 29:10 Crude Early Vaccines 29:58 Pushback and Belief 30:49 Smallpox Vaccine Reality 31:59 Monkeypox Emergency Politics 33:57 Spanish Flu Numbers 36:02 Two Pathologies Explained 38:12 Aspirin Toxicity Theory 42:24 Covid Wave Math 45:00 Aerosols Everywhere 48:05 Household Data and Vaccines 52:18 Where Did Flu Go 54:03 Dashboards and Modeled Data 56:20 Human Rights Case Closing https://x.com/ClareCraigPath Spiked: A shot in the dark: https://a.co/d/4W8P2JD ======== Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

    David Dilley: “Food shortages looming?” | Tom Nelson Pod #376

    David Dilley, a former NOAA and Air Force meteorologist, says climate is driven by natural “climate pulse” cycles from Earth–Moon–Sun gravitational/electromagnetic interactions, not human CO2. He argues warming and cooling have repeated for centuries and claims Arctic ice loss since 1990 is mainly from periodic surges of warm Atlantic subsurface water about every nine years. He critiques NOAA temperature averaging and ice-core CO2 estimates, citing fossil leaf stomata to claim CO2 often exceeded 300 ppm and that most post-1850 CO2 rise is natural. He forecasts a global cooling cycle starting around 2030 lasting 60–75 years, with shorter growing seasons, possible food shortages, and greater energy needs. He advocates shifting climate research funding and expanding thorium/molten-salt nuclear power. 00:00 Shorter Growing Seasons & Food Shortage Warnings (2030s) 00:31 Meet Meteorologist David Dilley + Climate Pulse Tech Overview 03:49 CO₂ Since 1850: Challenging the “All Fossil Fuels” Claim 05:05 Historic Warming & Cooling Cycles: Medieval Warm Period to Today 07:44 Why Arctic Ice Melted (1990–2025): Warm Atlantic Surges 10:52 How NOAA Calculates Global Temps: Oceans Skew the Average 13:39 Earth–Moon–Sun Cycles: The “Climate Pulse” & Long-Term Rhythms 17:49 Gravitational Peaks & the Coming Global Cooling Cycle 21:55 CO₂ Proxies Explained: Ice Cores vs Fossil Leaf Stomata 27:36 Correcting the CO₂ Record: Natural vs Human Contributions 33:10 CO₂ in the Atmosphere: What the Numbers Actually Are 35:30 Ocean Cycles 101: The Atlantic’s 65–70 Year Warm/Cold Pattern 38:42 ENSO Shift Ahead: La Niña to El Niño and ‘Erratic Weather’ (2027–2030) 40:27 2030 Arctic Freeze-Up Forecast: Cold Water ‘Plunges’ and Europe’s ‘Beast from the East’ 41:40 All Oceans + Solar/Geomagnetic Cycles: Why the 2030s Could Flip to Cooling 43:16 Energy Crunch in a Cooling World: AI Power Demand, Heat Pumps, and Grid Risk 44:39 Next-Gen Nuclear Pitch: Molten Salt & Thorium Reactors vs Wind 51:39 Sudden Stratospheric Warming Explained: Jet Stream ‘Rubber Band’ Break 55:54 Food & Society Impacts: Shorter Growing Seasons, Europe Cold, and ‘Year Without a Summer’ 01:02:54 Wrap-Up: Call to Refocus Research Away from ‘Political Science’ David Dilley’s March 2025 appearance on this podcast (episode #284): https://youtu.be/DKNP_LXp0o8 https://www.globalweathercycles.com/ http://www.globalweatheroscillations.com/ https://x.com/WeatherCycles https://www.youtube.com/@DilleyGlobalWeatherCycles ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

    Paul Burgess: “Burgess Oceanic-Solar-CO2 Index Follow-Up” | Tom Nelson Pod #375

    Paul Burgess presents updates to his Burgess Oceanic Solar CO2 index, claiming it precisely matches satellite temperatures from 1982–2025 without changing its fixed formula, including UAH v6.1 and final 2024–2025 data despite a record-low PDO. He says the index is not a forecasting model and implies ECS is 1°C, with ~25% warming from CO2 and ~22–23% from human CO2 after outgassing. A second paper argues oceans drive low-cloud changes (1–3 year lag), with ~2% cloud decline explaining warming, challenging IPCC positive feedbacks. He previews an extension back to 1900 with ~0.96 correlation using a UHI adjustment (Connolly 2021) and invites critique by email. 00:00 Paul Burgess Returns: Introducing the Oceanic Solar CO₂ Index Update 00:24 How the Index Matches Satellite Temps (and Why That’s Unusual) 01:02 No Curve-Fitting: Validation, Critiques, and Why It’s Public 02:19 Completing 2024–2025 + Switching UAH v6.0 to v6.1 03:42 Index vs Model: Fixed Formula, Inputs, and What It Can (and Can’t) Forecast 05:01 CO₂ Contribution & ECS = 1°C: What the Index Implies 07:01 Paper #1 Results: Record-Low PDO Stress Test and Fit Metrics 11:43 From Statistics to Physics: Paper #2 on Oceans, Clouds, and Sunlight 13:03 Clouds as Earth’s Thermostat: The ~2% Low-Cloud Change Claim 15:58 Cloud Layers & Evidence: Low Clouds Drive the Signal 17:58 IPCC Feedback Story Explained (and Critiqued) 21:31 Chicken-and-Egg Problem: Ocean–Cloud Coupling and the 1–3 Year Lag 22:00 Paper #3 Teaser: Testing Water Vapor, Albedo, and Cloud Feedbacks 27:21 Key Takeaways: Albedo/Ice Changes Follow Warming + Better Cloud Observations 28:19 Cloud Cover vs. Shortwave Radiation: What the Satellite Data Shows 28:59 Takeaway #3: Low Clouds as an Ocean-Driven “Sunshade” (Not a Warming Amplifier) 29:37 Four Key Lessons: Ocean Leads Clouds, and the Radiative Effect Matches 30:57 Implications for Climate Sensitivity: Why Models May Overstate CO₂ Feedbacks 32:07 How to Critique the Framework: Falsification Tests and Evidence Chain 34:57 Extending the BOI Back to 1900: Data Limits, UHI Adjustments, and Out-of-Sample Logic 36:12 Sneak Peek Results: BOI 1900–2025 and the 0.96 Correlation Claim 40:23 Q&A: How the BOI Coefficients Were Built (Covariance Fitting, Weights, Inputs) 43:51 Testing and Next Steps: Volcano Signals, Ocean Mechanisms, and Future Projections 47:02 Forecast vs. IPCC + Wrap-Up: Cooling Possibility, Politics, and Contact Info Email: svsuliere@gmail.com Explaining Every Temperature Change from 1983 to 2025 - My Most Important Work Ever: https://substack.com/home/post/p-182701114 Linking Ocean Heat, Low Clouds, and Sunlight In Burgess Oceanic index: https://paulburgess3.substack.com/p/linking-ocean-heat-low-clouds-and Testing Water Vapour, Albedo and Cloud Feedback with the Burgess Oceanic Index: https://paulburgess3.substack.com/p/testing-water-vapour-albedo-and-cloud Climate Realism by Paul Burgess: https://www.youtube.com/@ClimateRealism ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

    Joseph Fournier: “There is not one greenhouse effect; there are two” | Tom Nelson Pod #374

    Joseph Fournier presents “part two” on how Pacific Walker circulation controls Earth’s largest greenhouse effect: cloud longwave radiative forcing. He explains cloud radiative forcing terminology, cites literature claiming cloud greenhouse warming dwarfs CO2 forcing, and shows satellite-era links between trade winds, cloud shifts during ENSO, outgoing longwave radiation, and global/tropical temperature anomalies. He contrasts absorbed solar radiation, OLR, and Earth energy imbalance, arguing global averages can be dominated by regional Pacific dynamics. He reviews multidecadal “dimming/brightening” sunshine trends in Europe, Japan and the U.S., discusses aerosols vs natural drivers, and briefly addresses future uncertainty, AMO/IPO impacts, and solar/cosmic-ray hypotheses. 00:00 Welcome Back: Joseph Fournier & Why This Is “Part Two” 02:15 Cloud Basics 101: Shortwave vs Longwave, Net Cloud Radiative Forcing 05:51 Albedo Matters: How Small Cloud Changes Rival CO₂ Forcing 08:40 Evidence in the Literature: Trendberth and Early Satellite Cloud Forcing Maps 14:28 Clouds vs CO₂ Since 2000: Step-Change in Cloudiness and OLR 16:56 Geography Over Global Averages: The Western Pacific Warm Pool Hotspot 20:12 Warm Pool Size, SST, and Real-World Impacts (Winters, ENSO Timescales) 22:48 Walker Circulation Explained: Where Deep Convection Sits in La Niña vs El Niño 25:34 Warm Pool “Thermal Capacitor”: Thermocline Slosh, Water Volume, and Cloud Shift 30:32 Sea Level Pile-Up and the Gravity-Driven Discharge During El Niño 32:36 Radiation Signatures of ENSO: DLW/OLR Links to Niño Indices 36:13 Cloud Forcing Ratios & Decadal Patterns: What El Niño Does to Warm Pool Clouds 40:34 Global Signals: OLR vs Global Air Temperature and the ENSO Lead–Lag 45:14 Trade Winds as the Control Knob: Linking Pacific Easterlies to Global OLR 47:44 Tropical temps, OLR & trade winds: Walker circulation link 48:42 Clouds as the “other knob”: absorbed shortwave (ASR) vs temperature 50:29 2023 El Niño cloud changes: low-cloud cover & shifting albedo 53:49 ASR vs OLR since 2000: the hiatus ends and the energy budget shifts 55:44 Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) vs GAT: why the correlation breaks 57:58 Seasonal cycle first: EEI swings, hemispheres, clouds & land–ocean contrast 01:00:10 Wrap-up: two greenhouse effects & a call for academics to test it 01:02:54 Sunshine hours & AMO: UK/Europe brightening over the 20th century 01:07:26 Aerosols vs clouds: modern satellite trends and the “brightening” debate 01:11:53 Global dimming/brightening goes global: Japan/China records & Pacific teleconnections 01:12:56 Natural vs human drivers: when aerosols don’t explain surface radiation 01:18:13 Forecasting the next decade: sun, AMO/IPO, cooling claims & big uncertainties 01:26:17 Closing remarks: slides, Substack, and the climate–energy–geopolitics link More information about Joseph Fournier: https://co2coalition.org/teammember/joseph-fournier/ His 2024 presentation: https://youtu.be/P2hVW0R67CY Joseph’s Substack: https://josephfournier.substack.com/ X: https://x.com/JosephF55175005 ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

    Cohler/Soon: “Rebuttal to Nikolov on global temperature” | Tom Nelson Pod #371

    Jonathan Cohler and Willie Soon present a rebuttal to assertions made by Ned Nikolov about the physical meaning of global mean surface temperature (GMST). They argue that GMST is a physically meaningless statistical construct that cannot represent the Earth's thermal state or energy content due to its basis in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. They emphasize that temperature is an intensive property and its aggregation across different systems is fundamentally flawed from both mathematical and thermodynamic perspectives. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction 00:38 Global Temperature: Physically Meaningless 01:28 Thermodynamics and Its Importance 02:26 Disagreement in Science 02:58 Essex Etal 2007 Paper Discussion 04:25 Defining Global Mean Surface Temperature (GMST) 08:04 Temperature and Energy Relationship 15:43 Critique of Nikolov's Claims 34:26 Averaging Methods and Their Flaws 49:28 Debunking Global Temperature Myths 49:48 The Flaws in Global Temperature Estimation 51:23 Classical Realism and Thermodynamics 53:06 Critique of GMST and Climate Models 54:23 The Paris Agreement and GMST 55:47 Misconceptions in Climate Science 01:14:21 The Role of AI in Climate Research 01:20:03 Concluding Thoughts and Future Work https://jonathancohler.com/ https://x.com/cohler DDP July 2025 presentation: “The Father of Lies: Hijacking Climate Science - Jonathan Cohler”: https://youtu.be/o_YJgD5cy1I DDP July 2025 presentation: How well can we measure the Earth’s energy budget?

    James Kamis:  Warm blobs generated by geological activity | Tom Nelson Pod #363

    James Kamis discusses his theory that oceanic warm blobs, such as the one in the northern Pacific Ocean, are primarily caused by geological activities like underwater volcanic eruptions and tectonic movements rather than atmospheric conditions. Drawing on evidence from recent high-resolution ocean floor mapping and historical data on seismic and volcanic activities, Kamis highlights the significant role of geological features in heating ocean waters. He also challenges the mainstream view held by NASA and NOAA, advocating for a more comprehensive consideration of geological factors in climate studies. 00:00 Introduction to the Ocean Warming Hotspot 00:48 Understanding the Warm Blob 01:45 Geological Features of the Ocean Floor 05:06 The Pacific Ring of Fire 07:00 Mapping the Ocean Floor 08:40 Volcanic Activity and Climate Impact 10:21 Geological Activity in Japan 15:19 The Kamchatka Peninsula 18:23 Characteristics of the Warm Blob 23:29 Cool Blob Phenomenon 27:21 Other Warm Blobs Across the Ocean 28:56 Heat Transfer to the Arctic Ocean 30:01 Volcanic Activity in the Pacific Ocean 30:51 Axial Volcano and Seismic Activity 33:15 El Nino and Geological Evidence 36:50 Gulf Stream and Geological Impacts 40:38 Geological Theories and Predictions 47:24 Books and Further Reading 52:21 Final Thoughts and Acknowledgements James Kamis articles: https://climatechangedispatch.com/?s=kamis June 2023 book by James E.
