Ed Berry presents a step-by-step, nontechnical overview of his theoretical climate physics work, arguing that “consensus” and authority claims are not science and that climate policy relies on three assumptions, focusing on A1: humans caused all the CO2 rise. He says A1 depends on a false sub-assumption that human CO2 stays longer than natural CO2, proposing a “climate equivalence principle” that identical molecules behave the same. Using IPCC carbon-cycle data and a linear systems model, he derives an atmospheric e-time of ~3.5 years and estimates human CO2 contributes only a few percent, supported by delta-14C and temperature-leading-CO2 studies. He also discusses climate lawsuits (including Held v. Montana), political influence, and criticism of DOE/CO2 Coalition positions.00:00 Meet Ed Berry00:53 From Clouds to Climate01:49 Why Consensus Fails03:11 Scientific Method Basics05:16 Three Climate Assumptions06:55 Debunking CO2 Lifetime Claim08:35 Climate Equivalence Principle09:21 IPCC Carbon Cycle Data12:48 Flows and Human Share14:11 Building a Carbon Model16:26 E-Time and Linearity19:40 Deriving Balance Levels21:30 Finding IPCC E-Times25:02 Human vs Natural CO2 Split27:21 What 420 ppm Implies27:58 Systems Model Math29:29 Partitioning Human CO231:37 IPCC Cycle Contradiction34:24 Courtney Endorsement35:45 Delta 14C Evidence39:33 Interpreting Bomb Curve42:09 Temperature Leads CO244:21 Proofs Summary48:29 Montana Lawsuit Setup50:51 WEF Influence Claims52:11 DOE Report Problem53:19 Koonin And CO2C Critique56:48 Group Positions Wrap57:48 Q&A And Closinghttps://edberry.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Will Wilkinson discusses a biography he was hired to write about Princeton physicist William Happer, combining four chapters of life story with a climate-focused second half arguing science has been politicized. He describes Happer's decades-long career, including inventing the sodium laser guide star for missile defense and work adapted for medical lung imaging, plus Happer's “trust and verify” approach and skepticism of models over measurements. They cover Happer's CO2 Coalition role, controversy at Princeton, colleagues' contributions (e.g., Lindzen, Koonin, Ridd), and comparisons to Lysenkoism and past scientific dissent. The author stresses curiosity, civil communication, and avoiding fear-driven climate hysteria.00:00 Meet Will Wilkinson00:27 Writing Happer Biography01:45 Happer Science Legacy02:42 Climate Views Adaptation03:29 Laser Guide Star Explained05:12 Trust and Verify Mindset06:04 Princeton Controversy07:14 Famous Colleagues Stories09:18 Childhood and Formation10:58 Standing Up for Science13:28 Lysenkoism and Dogma16:38 Outsiders and Discovery21:15 Curiosity and Measuring23:25 CO2 Politics and Money24:45 Book Release and Coalition25:43 Rogan Episode and Outreach27:07 Documentary and Prior Bio28:33 Reluctant Scientist Profile30:10 Working Life at Princeton31:05 Red Team Blue Team Fallout32:01 Middle Ground Climate Debate34:46 Colleagues and Reef Controversy37:29 Skepticism After COVID41:38 Single Source of Truth Quotes44:24 Kindness Over Division48:41 Hope Against Climate Hysteria50:23 Meaningful Memoirs and AI54:04 Wrap Up and ThanksWill Wilkinson's web site: https://www.meaningfulmemoirs.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Jonathan Cohler presents a newly submitted paper using mass conservation, isotopic signatures (delta 13C), and multiple datasets to apply the Keeling relation and infer a consistent intercept near -13.2‰ across sites and time spans. He argues this makes fossil fuels (signature ~-28‰) at most 26% of net atmospheric CO2 change and, using preindustrial constraints, essentially ~0–1.3%, contradicting claims by IPCC, NASA, NOAA, EPA, and the CO2 Coalition. He says CO2 residence time is ~3.8 years and attributes rising CO2 to natural temperature-driven ocean/soil outgassing. He criticizes the CO2 Coalition for conflating accounting identities with causation, describes harassment, and says he resigned.00:00 New Paper Claim01:29 Three Inputs Setup03:25 Isotope Signatures 10106:05 Keeling Relation Explained10:17 Datasets And Intercepts13:38 Solving For Fossil Fraction22:22 Why Fossil Dominance Fails25:16 Rejecting The Conclusion28:04 Carbon Cycle Turnover31:45 What Drives CO2 Rise33:56 Ancient CO2 And Whataboutism36:53 CO2 Coalition Errors Teaser37:38 Accounting vs Causation39:23 Feynman on Conservation40:37 What Proves Causality41:37 Atmospheric Balance Equation42:53 Coalition Paper Misreads46:25 Molecules Not Labeled48:08 Residuals Aren't Attribution49:56 Isotopes Discriminate Sources51:27 Airborne Fraction Fallacy53:41 Retention and Cycle Time56:02 Harassment and Resignation01:03:18 CO2 Forcing and Policy Costs01:08:51 X Feedback and Contact01:13:38 Wrap Up and Linkshttps://x.com/cohlerhttps://papers.jcohler.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

James Tooley describes two decades researching “low-cost private schools” serving poor families in India, Africa, rural China, and war-torn countries, arguing parents choose them because government/public schools often abandon children. He cites widespread enrollment (e.g., majorities in parts of Lagos and Kampala), higher standardized test performance, no gender bias, affordability around 10% of family spending, and sustainability as small businesses. He now finds a similar U.S. phenomenon in hybrid/micro schools, visiting examples in Pine Ridge (Onward Learning), rural Mississippi, refugee-serving Clarkston, and rural Oregon, and surveying 5,390 parents: about 4% use low-tuition private schools. He discusses limited, careful roles for philanthropy, and worries about dependence on government ESAs.00:00 Meet James Tooley01:03 Hyderabad Discovery03:25 Government School Reality05:37 Makoko Lagos Expedition07:49 Kibera Ghana China Proof11:49 Beautiful Tree Thesis13:04 War Torn Africa Schools15:48 Five Key Features21:06 Federations And Pushback22:02 Low Cost Schools In America25:53 Pine Ridge Onward Learning29:46 Mississippi Trailer School33:19 Refugees And Oregon Example36:08 National Survey Findings41:45 Philanthropy And Donations43:26 Quality Assurance Debate46:33 School Choice ESA Concerns49:57 Where To Follow James50:46 Final ReflectionsThe Beautiful Tree: https://a.co/d/032zFHgWReally Good Schools: Global Lessons for High-Caliber, Low-Cost Education: https://a.co/d/01VMoY3rhttps://x.com/james_tooleyhttps://uk.linkedin.com/in/james-tooley-320a8410=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Tom Harris argues Canada's claim of warming twice the global average is unreliable because northern data coverage is sparse and “homogenized” station adjustments may exaggerate trends. He questions the meaning of average temperature and says Canada's record shows a step change around 1998, consistent with El Niño and possibly the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, not steady greenhouse-gas forcing. He cites extreme-weather records peaking in the 1930s and references Heartland's Climate Change Reconsidered and Roger Pielke's datasets as showing little detected change in many extremes. Harris then describes organizing local activists, using Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, rehearsing questions, and bypassing media censorship to challenge municipal climate policies.00:00 Meet Tom Harris00:19 Canada Warming Claims00:41 Is Warming Bad03:21 So Called Averages05:13 Overlapping Ranges08:06 Why Start 194811:08 Heat Records Evidence11:54 Sparse Arctic Stations14:39 Homogenized Adjustments17:00 Step Change Not CO218:57 Hickey Speaks Out21:59 Natural Cycles Theory22:59 PR Versus Evidence24:22 Extreme Weather Database25:56 Heartland Reports28:32 Warmer Means Milder31:07 Pielke Teaser31:19 Global Extremes Database31:51 P Factor Explained32:30 Translator Not Climatologist33:33 Drilling Into Continents34:48 Wildfire History Context37:23 Heatwave Data Concerns38:31 Local Activism Playbook40:06 Alinsky Rules In Action42:49 Debate Questions And Ridicule47:16 Training Volunteers Nationwide51:59 Beating Media Censorship53:55 Groups Funding And Contact56:17 Practice Sessions And Wins57:43 Wrap Up Resources icsc-canada.com sensiblechange.cahttps://x.com/TomHarrisICSChttps://drtomharris.substack.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Dai Ato presents findings from three papers arguing atmospheric CO2 rise is largely natural, claiming multivariate analyses reject human emissions as a significant predictor of annual CO2 increases while sea surface temperature (SST) is significant. He says detrended annual-change comparisons show emissions vs CO2 change has near-zero correlation, while SST retains moderate correlation, consistent with CO2 solubility in water. He also claims ice-core CO2 reconstructions are incorrect and that temperature leads specific humidity, rejecting CO2–water vapor positive feedback; absorbed shortwave and total solar irradiance correlate with SST while CO2 is negligible or negative. In Q&A, he expects the Keeling Curve to keep rising, COVID emission drops to have little effect, and rejects a stable 280 ppm preindustrial CO2.00:00 Intro And Agenda00:39 Three Paper Overview04:01 CO2 Rise Not Human07:05 Detrending Spurious Links10:33 Water Vapor Feedback Tested13:19 Solar And Albedo Drivers17:12 Past Evidence SST Leads21:50 Global Temperature Averaging23:58 Key Takeaways And DOE26:04 Why I Wrote These Papers33:06 Ice Core Reconstruction Issues34:17 Closing Thoughts And Q&Ahttps://x.com/info45037254=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Ron Clutz continues a three-part framework on climate change: humans cause warming, warming is dangerous, and government can stop it. He argues observed warming can be explained by post–Little Ice Age recovery plus multidecadal oscillations and solar-orbital effects, and says “alarmists” deny these. He describes a taxpayer-funded “climate scare machine” and cites a Climate Change Business Journal estimate of a $3.4T/year global climate industry. Using Joseph D'Aleo's materials, he disputes claims about heatwaves, storms, droughts, wildfires, ice loss, ocean acidification, health, and food, then focuses on Arctic sea ice cycles and sea-level model projections versus tide gauges. He stresses climate is local (Köppen zones) and says climate policies are wasteful, ineffective, and harmful, citing project failures, costs, and energy poverty.00:00 Framework Recap01:07 Natural Warming Factors03:56 Climate Scare Machine07:59 Eleven Empty Claims13:56 Polar Bears and Sea Ice20:00 Sea Level Scare Tactics28:27 Climates Are Local35:13 Warming Impacts Summary35:59 Can Governments Stop It37:56 Energy Transition Reality40:19 Why Hydrocarbons Rule42:06 Energy Mix Big Picture43:47 Trillions Visualized45:22 Waste One Missing Funds45:59 Waste Two Project Failures48:35 Waste Three Blade Graveyards49:13 Waste Four Operational Collapse50:18 Hydrogen And Biofuels51:32 Fear Sells Climate Policy53:06 Policy Weapons And Results55:51 Energy Poverty And Jobs59:09 Rare Metals And Land Use01:01:40 Better Priorities Consensus01:02:29 Absurd Costly Pointless01:03:59 Cartoons And Media Satire01:09:33 Arctic Update And Data01:13:28 Wrap Up Links And Wildfireshttps://rclutz.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Henrik Svensmark discusses how solar activity modulates cosmic rays, which ionize the atmosphere and can help form aerosols that grow into cloud condensation nuclei, potentially altering clouds and Earth's energy balance. He describes lab experiments showing more aerosols with increased ionization, critiques models that predicted no cloud effect, and presents observations from Forbush decreases where drops in cosmic rays are followed days later by reduced aerosols, cloud changes, and radiative-budget responses. He argues solar-cycle forcing may be ~1–1.5 W/m² and could affect CO2 sensitivity. On longer timescales, he links supernova-driven cosmic-ray variations to glaciations, ocean temperature, organic carbon burial, oxygen production, and biodiversity, while noting funding and career pressures.00:00 Cosmic Rays and Clouds00:42 Meet Henrik Svensmark02:59 Solar Activity Basics03:31 IPCC Forcing Debate05:13 Sunspots and Cosmic Rays07:03 Cosmic Ray Showers08:55 Isotopes as Solar Proxies11:48 Climate Correlations15:17 Ocean Heat Amplification17:55 Clouds as Amplifier19:39 How CCN Form22:22 Testing in Chambers24:59 Models vs Reality27:52 Forbush Natural Experiments36:14 Fixing the Physics41:17 Billion Year Timescales42:08 Galactic Spiral Arms44:02 Star Formation Setup44:33 Open Clusters Explained45:57 Mapping Nearby Clusters46:53 Supernovas Meet Climate48:27 Zooming Into Ice Ages51:31 Nutrients And Carbon Isotopes53:54 Organic Burial Correlation55:15 Deep Time Starbursts57:12 Oxygen And Complex Life59:51 Dwarf Galaxies Trigger Stars01:02:18 Fossils And Diversity Curves01:05:13 Shelf Area Drives Richness01:09:04 Area Normalization Test01:11:34 Big Picture Conclusions01:13:35 Funding And Career Risks01:22:15 Critiques And Solar Events01:25:16 Wrap Up And FarewellSvensmark: The Cloud Mystery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANMTPF1blpQThe Chilling Stars [2008]: https://www.amazon.com/Chilling-Stars-New-Theory-Climate/dp/1840468661Papers: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2843-3417=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Randall Bock argues opioids have dual legal and illicit markets and that most prescribed users don't become street addicts. He recounts refusing drug-seekers (“Dr. No”) and later using buprenorphine as a temporary bridge, advocating a 4–6 month taper to sobriety rather than lifelong “maintenance.” He claims methadone maintenance, originated at Rockefeller University and expanded nationally via Nixon-era policy and Medicaid incentives, aimed to curb New York City crime but instead seeded the first wave of the opioid crisis and spread heroin use. He challenges the “addiction as disease/insulin” analogy, cites Vietnam vet recovery and Rat Park, and promotes his book “Withdraw to Freedom.”00:00 Opioid Desert Intro01:06 Two Marketplaces Theory02:01 Doctor No Stories03:29 Suboxone And DATA 200004:50 Maintenance Therapy Critique06:22 New York City Sets Stage08:04 Bridge To Sobriety Plan10:47 Long Boom And Opioid Spike14:24 Classic Narcotic Control Era17:26 Harm Reduction And Methadone18:43 OxyContin Myth Busting19:48 Addiction As Exposure23:28 Rockefeller Methadone Origins26:40 Crime Control Not Cure28:14 Why Methadone Feels Dopey31:59 National Spread And Incentives36:46 Did Crime Drop Actually38:46 Equality Of Misery40:49 Dealers Adapt And Expand43:03 Dopesick Narrative Setup43:36 Methadone First Wave45:22 Medicalization Lessons48:15 Disease Model Tested50:20 Replacement vs Proclivity53:29 Russia and Hard Truths55:38 Rat Park Recovery01:00:14 Economy and Despair01:03:18 Bock Taper and Five Fs01:09:28 Board Backlash01:11:28 Book Launch Pitch01:13:51 Incentives and COVID Parallels01:19:01 Mental Health Parity01:22:43 Wrap Up and Dual Pathhttps://randybock.com/https://x.com/@DrRandallBock=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Jim Lakely, EVP and communications director at The Heartland Institute, describes Heartland's free-market mission and its global role “pushing back on climate alarmism,” plus his weekly Climate Realism Show. He recounts Heartland's 16 climate conferences since 2008 (300+ speakers, videos online), efforts to invite opposing views, and claims the IPCC's mandate is to emphasize human influence. They discuss natural forcings, scientific uncertainty, warming since the Little Ice Age, and skepticism about “global average temperature.” Lakely cites funding pressures in academia, conference disruptions by Climate Defiance, and notes Roy Spencer's satellite data work. He recounts “Fakegate,” alleging Peter Gleick stole documents and forged a memo. They also discuss COPs, social-media throttling, and AI's energy demands weakening climate media funding.00:00 Meet Jim Lakely00:32 Heartland Climate Mission01:34 Inside Climate Conferences04:25 Debate And The IPCC07:06 Natural Forcings Focus09:32 Warming And Perspective12:23 Young Skeptics Rising15:40 Disruptions And Threats20:44 Will Happer Spotlight23:25 Models Funding And Media28:01 Journalism Background29:13 Congress Reality Check30:39 Oval Office With Bush32:44 Climate Beat Back Then35:09 Momentum After 202438:32 AI Needs Real Energy40:24 Fakegate Scandal Recap47:03 Inside UN COP Meetings48:57 Social Media Censorship51:38 YouTube UN Banners53:02 Closing Thoughts Freedomhttps://x.com/jlakelySee all Heartland “International Conference on Climate Change” videos here: https://climateconferences.heartland.org/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Thomas Kurz discusses chapters from his book Why There Is No Climate Crisis, citing positive reviews, then explains the greenhouse effect and argues CO2's warming is limited and logarithmic. He claims doubling CO2 yields about 3 W/m² effective forcing, or ~0.9°C via Stefan–Boltzmann calculations, and says even burning all known fossil fuel reserves would add under ~1°C. He argues “climate crisis” claims rely on compounded positive feedbacks in IPCC models, but says observations show models overpredict warming, relative humidity aloft is declining, and a predicted tropical hotspot is missing. He attributes discrepancies to cloud/aerosol cooling, proposing an Earth “thermostat” and net slightly negative feedback.00:00 Guest and Book Update02:31 Greenhouse Effect Basics04:53 CO2 Absorption and Saturation07:38 Four Ways to Calculate Forcing17:11 Convert Forcing to Temperature21:19 Logarithmic Warming Limits24:20 Fossil Fuels and Max Warming28:13 Feedbacks Behind the Crisis32:55 Models vs Observations41:30 Clouds and Cooling Evidence55:51 Earth Thermostat Conclusion57:52 Q&A and Scientific Method01:01:33 Wrap Up and Farewell“Why There is No Climate Crisis: The Surprising Evidence You Should Know”: https://a.co/d/05rKxsYUhttps://www.whynoclimatecrisis.com/Email: info@WhyNoClimateCrisis.com=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Ray Sanders updates his Surface Stations project to classify all 385 UK Met Office weather stations using WMO siting classes, claiming 88% are class 3–5 and 112 meet no regulations, including many in walled or private gardens and car parks. He argues poor siting, degraded maintenance after automation, and rapid platinum resistance thermometers in Stevenson screens create spikes and non-comparable records versus older liquid-in-glass methods. He alleges rounding/conversion issues, data from non-existent “climate averages” sites, refusals under FOI, and deletion of queried webpages.

Willie Soon and Jonathan Cohler argue the rise in atmospheric CO2 is mostly natural, challenging claims it is 100% manmade from hydrocarbon burning. They cite analyses using bomb-produced carbon-14 showing a single-exponential decay and a short CO2 atmospheric residence time (~3.8 years), contrasting with IPCC claims of thousands of years and criticizing undefined terms like “adjustment time.” They say their work falsifies the Suess effect and that delta-13C of atmospheric change stays near -13‰ from 1978–2022 and in proxies over 500 years, inconsistent with a dominant fossil-fuel signature (~-28‰). They discuss ocean/land cycling, solar/energy imbalance hypotheses, and skepticism of ice-core CO2 constancy claims.00:00 Big CO2 Claim Questioned01:30 Decades of Doubt02:16 Researchers Who Challenged It04:13 Natural Rise Hypothesis05:14 Suess Effect Origins07:35 Bomb Pulse Carbon-1412:39 Short Residence Time14:22 Word Games vs Definitions16:44 3.8 Years Explained21:21 Bridge Equation Breakthrough25:34 Peer Pushback and Talks29:43 Physical Tether Theorem34:01 Koutsoyiannis Delta13C Test42:46 Why Delta13C Still Drops44:23 Lineage and Credit45:43 Cycle Time vs IPCC49:14 Debunking Net Sink51:06 Biosphere Expansion Idea51:48 Satellite Imbalance Fraud56:17 Outgassing Explains CO2 Rise01:01:40 Proxy Limits and Ice Cores01:09:26 Future CO2 and Benefits01:13:18 C14 Tracers and Dating01:15:02 Suez Effect Model Critique01:21:15 Wrapping Up and LinksJonathan Cohler – “The IPCC Circle of Lies: Five Papers Falsify the Entire Framework”https://x.com/cohler/status/2081407310493081791Willie Soon – “From Demon to Dinner: The Scientific Case for CO₂ and Fossil Fuels”https://x.com/cohler/status/2081408758308077952Slides:Jonathan Cohler: https://x.com/cohler/status/2081410426147938599Willie Soon: https://x.com/cohler/status/2081410908392133048CERES-Science: https://www.ceres-science.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Mark Glendening argues free speech in Britain and the West is under increasing internal attack, citing “non-crime hate incidents,” broad Public Order Act powers, online and even private-message prosecutions, and proposals to criminalize non-affirmation of transgender identity under “conversion therapy” laws. He says enforcement is often aimed at the right and anti-transgender feminists, though he notes prosecutions of some left-wing Palestine Action supporters. Glendening traces today's speech controls to cultural strategies developed after Marxism waned, highlighting Gramsci, the Frankfurt School (especially Marcuse), and French postmodernists. He urges electoral pressure campaigns, praises Elon Musk and X, and warns that debanking, digital ID, and Soros-backed regulation threaten liberties.00:00 Meet Mark Glendening01:07 Britain's Free Speech Legacy02:04 Non Crime Hate Incidents04:23 Policing Private Speech06:52 Who Gets Targeted09:29 Conversion Therapy Crackdown16:09 Why the New Left Censors21:21 Three Intellectual Roots28:37 The Sixties Cultural Turn36:12 Words Liberal vs Progressive43:31 Digital ID and Debanking44:46 Fighting Back Politically48:04 Elon Musk and X50:07 US Elections and Internet Speech52:20 Final Thoughts on Libertyhttps://iea.org.uk/tag/marc-glendening/https://iea.org.uk/publications/transgender-ideology-a-new-threat-to-liberal-values/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Ron Clutz summarizes themes from his “Science Matters” blog, framing climate change as three linked claims: humans warm the Earth, the warming is dangerous, and government can stop it. He argues climate sensitivity estimates are declining and models overpredict warming, citing comparisons of model outputs to observations, weak long-term temperature correlation with fossil fuel use, and claims that storms, wildfires, sea level rise, Arctic ice, and drought trends are not worsening as asserted. He criticizes “reductionism” to CO2 and radiative forcing, emphasizing water vapor, convection, and hydrology, plus solar/cloud and ocean-cycle influences (ENSO/PDO/AMO).

David Smith explains his book “Wokicide,” arguing that “woke” (critical social justice theory rooted in critical theory and postmodernism) persists in universities and schools because education lacks quality control, not because of politics. He proposes applying ISO 9001 and HACCP-style quality assurance to K–12 and universities: validated curriculum specifications, independent expert panels, hazard analysis, audits (scheduled and targeted), corrective action, and continuous improvement. A central Workplace Improvement Notice (WIN) system would let staff and even parents file tracked complaints with guaranteed responses, replacing DEI/unconscious-bias training with “deprogramming” modules and prioritizing evidence and accountability.

Gianluca Alimonti discusses three “climate matrix” papers: a 2022 review of extreme weather time series and response indicators that found no clear worsening trends (later retracted, which he argues lacked specific scientific grounds and reflected political pressure); a 2023 analysis of EM-DAT natural-disaster records concluding the post-1970 rise is largely improved reporting, with trends stable since about 2000 and disaster deaths decreasing; and a recent framework proposing 43 IPCC-aligned impact-driver and response indicators to assess “climate crisis,” finding most show no worsening, many improve, and few worsen.

Nicola Scafetta discusses his book, "The Frontier of Climate Science," a review based on about 650 peer‑reviewed papers arguing that IPCC global climate models have serious limitations because they fail to capture multi‑scale natural variability (oceanic, solar, astronomical, and tidal cycles). He says model claims that nearly all warming since 1850 is anthropogenic are not experimentally validated, climate sensitivity remains highly uncertain, and many models run too hot, with possible surface-record warm bias from urban heat islands. He cites past warm periods and correlations between climate and solar/cosmic-ray proxies, proposes empirical/semi‑empirical cycle-based modeling, and concludes warming risk is moderate, SSP2 could meet Paris targets, net zero is unnecessary, and adaptation should be prioritized.00:00 Introducing Scafetta's New Book06:03 Earth's Deep-Time Climate Swings11:06 IPCC Attribution to Humans14:44 Why Model Proof Falls Short17:27 Paris Targets and Net Zero Logic24:33 Are IPCC Scenarios Realistic29:04 Model Uncertainty and Sensitivity34:57 Satellites vs Surface Warming38:42 Missing Past Warm Periods43:21 Millennial Solar Climate Cycles46:00 Forests Beneath Glaciers46:59 Solar Records vs Climate49:18 TSI Reconstructions Debate52:09 Cosmic Rays and Clouds56:07 Empirical Models Challenge IPCC59:18 Policy Implications and Adaptation01:01:12 Planetary Cycles Climate Theory01:05:37 Matching Climate Spectral Cycles01:12:51 Future Hiatus and Sensitivity01:19:43 Next Glaciation Long View01:24:01 Book Wrap Up and ThanksThe Frontier of Climate Science: Solar variability, natural cycles and model uncertainty: https://a.co/d/0flzOYJ3=========Brochure for Nicola's “The Frontier of Climate Science” book, along with slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Anika Sweetland argues the IPCC was created through politics, funding, and elite influence, tracing its origins to the 1985 Villach Conference and alleging it advances centralized global governance. She says media-driven fear shifted from 1970s “ice age” stories to 1988 “global warming,” citing sea-level warnings that did not occur. Sweetland claims climate finance and clean-energy investment incentives benefit IPCC-linked officials. She highlights Climategate emails as evidence of strategic data presentation (“hide the decline”), message management, and peer-review gatekeeping (“PAL review”), plus an alleged journal blacklist. She says her climate studies education omitted Climategate, emphasized policy “solutions,” and discouraged debate.00:00 IPCC Exposed Intro01:01 Ice Age Media Panic02:06 Fear as Control Tool03:36 Global Warming Rebrand05:23 Sea Level Scare Claims07:28 Villach Birth of IPCC09:31 Global Governance Agenda10:31 Trillions and Incentives12:20 Climategate Data Tricks18:57 Peer Review Gatekeeping21:44 Blacklists and Ideology23:31 Personal Wake Up Call25:16 Who Controls Science26:34 What We Can Do Next27:23 Host Reacts and Questions27:36 Climategate Not Taught30:10 Policy Impacts UK Europe33:15 Witch Hunts Parallel37:22 Climate Degree Brainwashing40:42 Only Graduate Story43:15 Today's Model Driven Teaching45:19 Books and IPCC Origins46:17 Closing Thanks and Wraphttps://x.com/anika_climate=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Liam DeBoer describes his Substack blending philosophy, psychology, culture, politics, and history, and argues in “Your Ruling Class Is Not Secular” that modern materialist elites still express religious impulses by mapping “soul,” apocalypse, and salvation narratives onto gender ideology, climate change, and revolutionary politics. He discusses Orwell's 1984 as a psychological study of totalitarianism reshaping perception, and links current activism to young women, noting polling showing young women moving left and widening dating/marriage mismatches. He predicts widening Western factional conflict, references the “fourth turning,” and explains Nietzsche's ressentiment and victimhood. He outlines “daycare governance” in a feminized institutional culture and summarizes “political ponerology” archetypes behind authoritarianism.

Ken Jensen describes his background in environmental toxicology and medical devices, then argues morality can be grounded without religion. He traces a “true, good, beautiful” triad from Plato through Vitruvius and maps it to objective reality, reciprocity/voluntary exchange, and beauty/grace, contrasting it with a destructive “DOI” (destruction, opposition, inversion) force. He critiques management tactics like permanent crisis, “red dot” diversions, and misuse of Romans 13, citing Katrina clergy response teams. He promotes a “dartboard” model over left-right politics, says ethics and morality are inseparable (Nuremberg vs Nazi view), warns about EU-style centralization, CBDCs, and praises ridicule as a defense.

In a Paris heatwave (33–40°C), Hügo Krüger says France suffers more indoors because only about 25% of homes have AC, unlike near-universal AC in the US/Japan. He describes ideological and regulatory resistance to AC from ecologists and left-wing politicians, despite AC being a reversible heat pump and France's electricity being largely nuclear. Apartment rules, aesthetic objections, and energy ratings discourage installation; subsidies favor air-to-water heat pumps that can't cool. Demand for fans and AC is surging, and politicians propose easing restrictions. He expects fewer deaths than 2003 due to heat alerts, but argues AC would reduce vulnerability.00:00 Paris Heatwave Check In01:00 Why France Lacks AC01:33 Myths About Air Conditioning03:00 Hospitals Trains And Culture03:42 Politics And Nuclear Power Angle07:20 Heat Deaths And Public Response14:47 Regulations Blocking Reversible AC16:44 How Rare Is This Heat17:54 2003 Heatwave Lessons20:31 Hardliners And Building Lobby22:14 Insulation Fans And Daily Life24:11 Bigger Pattern And Nuclear Future29:04 Wrap Up And GoFundMe Plughttps://x.com/hkrugertjie“fundraiser to buy an AC for the French Heat Wave!”: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-not-melt-in-paris-2026-heatwave?lang=en_US&ts=1782483248=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summarieshttps://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Erich Schaffer critiques the “super greenhouse effect” and argues that tropical outgoing longwave radiation stays flat mainly because tropospheric temperature is sluggish relative to surface temperature, not because water vapor amplifies greenhouse trapping. He says regional and seasonal proxies for water vapor feedback are invalid (citing admissions by Ramanathan/Inamdar and Dessler et al.) and claims interannual proxy results are distorted by aspect-ratio choices and improper OLS regression, advocating TLS or rotated-benchmark methods. Reanalyzing published plots (Spencer, Lindzen-Choi, Chung, Andy May), he concludes water vapor plus lapse rate implies strong negative feedback and low ECS (~1 K). He also alleges data “fudging” and broader scientific incompetence.00:00 Super Greenhouse Effect02:20 OLR Calculations Explained03:28 Troposphere Sluggishness05:32 Ramanathan Admission10:23 Feedback Breakdown Math12:37 Two Proxies Debunked14:05 Revisiting Interannual Proxy16:02 Bad Regression Plotting17:16 Aspect Ratio Distortion23:45 OLS vs TLS Regression30:53 Negative Feedback Emerges33:22 Spencer Regression Mystery37:45 Lindzen Choi Critique41:03 Fixing Lindzen Plot51:17 Recent Andy May Example53:21 Rotate Plot Method55:19 Benchmark Slope Trick57:38 Questionable Outliers01:01:26 Proxies Fall Apart01:02:22 Lapse Rate Physics01:05:45 Tropical Hotspot Feedback01:11:10 AR6 Codependency Critique01:14:24 MODTRAN Water Vapor Test01:19:44 Emission Altitudes Explained01:25:22 Net Feedback and ECS01:27:17 Blunders and Sociology01:40:54 Q&A and Takeaway01:44:44 Bonus Coal Math Error01:47:42 Wrap UpErich Schaffer: “Water Vapor Feedback, Part One”: https://youtu.be/2O4mOf9gk-shttps://x.com/erich_schafferhttps://greenhousedefect.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Tom interviews Anika Sweetland, who argues Earth's climate changes in predictable natural cycles and that today is relatively cool in a 65‑million‑year context. Using graphs and books by Gregory Wrightstone, she describes ice-age rhythms linked to Milankovitch cycles and 1,500‑year Dansgaard–Oeschger cycles, including the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age, and claims solar activity and cosmic rays better correlate with temperature than CO2. She says the IPCC smooths data and governments use fear for control, while net-zero policies are wasteful and geoengineering in the UK is concerning. Sweetland recounts university climate studies as CO2-focused indoctrination, discusses backlash and support online, and previews a part two on the IPCC.00:00 Meet Anika Sweetland04:40 Ice Ages and Long Cooling07:18 Milankovitch Cycles Explained09:14 Dansgaard Oeschger Cycles11:04 Medieval Warmth and Little Ice Age14:01 Sun Cosmic Rays and Clouds18:21 CO2 Claims and Propaganda21:07 Her Climate Degree Experience23:22 Education Debate and Models27:47 Conference Disruption and Activism30:34 Social Media Pushback34:54 Part Two and Wrap Up35:22 Energy Policy and Geoengineering39:18 Final Thanks and Goodbyehttps://x.com/anika_climateThe 16th International Conference on Climate Change: https://climateconference.heartland.org/Anika on being bombarded with global warming propaganda: https://x.com/anika_climate/status/2037550091544785239=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Joseph Fournier discusses his Substack article proposing a “solar-driven glacial atmospheric dipole” to explain the Last Glacial Maximum contrast between ice-covered North Atlantic regions and ice-free Beringia. He reviews Milankovitch cycles, zonal vs meridional winds, ITCZ migration, Holocene aridity/desert formation around 4,200 years ago, and Neoglacial solar sensitivity. He focuses on how solar variability (UV, interplanetary magnetic field, energetic particle precipitation, cosmic rays) affects stratospheric polar vortices and couples to tropospheric indices (NAO, SAM), influencing clouds, sunshine, ocean circulation (AMO/AMOC), and glaciers, citing proxy reconstructions and Bond events. They also address the Atlantic “cold blob” freshwater argument and farming implications.00:00 Beringia Glacial Mystery02:35 Dedication and Wind Focus06:08 Holocene ITCZ Shifts10:21 Deserts and Neoglacial Questions15:02 Milankovitch Limits17:22 Zonal vs Meridional Flow22:09 Southern Annular Mode Basics25:12 SAM Impacts and Ocean Carbon28:48 Cloud Belts and Brightening34:32 SAM History and Solar Minima38:12 Polar Vortex Coupling40:17 Solar Magnetism Explained45:18 GCRs and Stratosphere Temps52:01 Sunspots vs Hurricane Power56:01 EPP Ozone and Aurora Link58:36 Solar System Harmonics01:01:02 Solar Wobble Link01:02:34 Jupiter Quakes Core01:06:41 Zonal vs Meridional01:11:32 NAO SPV Coupling01:14:21 Bond Events Framework01:17:42 Ice Rafted Debris01:25:26 Greenland Melt Drivers01:30:38 AMO Gulf Stream THC01:37:10 Cosmogenic Isotope Cycles01:42:34 Glacial Dipole Conclusion01:45:46 Atlantic Cold Blob01:49:13 Farming Outlook Wraphttps://x.com/JosephF55175005=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

William Van Wijngaarden explains the greenhouse effect as higher, colder radiating layers caused by more greenhouse gases, noting roles of CO2, water vapor, ozone, methane, and N2O, and emphasizing cloud uncertainties. He cites rising CO2 (320 ppm in 1960 to ~430), N2O and methane increases, but highlights non-monotonic temperature history including a 2000–2016 “hiatus,” and claims climate models overpredict warming by about threefold. He argues data do not show worsening trends in Arctic ice (recently flat), hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, or precipitation, and glacier retreat began after the Little Ice Age. He says ocean pH would drop from 8.18 to ~7.93 with doubled CO2, corals grow fastest in warm water, eliminating cattle would cool ~0.05°C, and fertilizer cuts risk food shortages. He calls for more observations (clouds, Argo oceans) and concludes warming is modest (~1°C ±1°C) and net-zero policies lack evidence.00:00 Meet The Guest03:19 Key Greenhouse Gases05:44 Temperature Record Mysteries07:20 Models Versus Reality08:39 Infrared Spectrum Explained10:53 Satellites Confirm Physics11:58 Clouds And Uncertainty15:10 Arctic Ice Reality Check16:28 Glaciers Wildfires Hurricanes20:12 Natural Variability Lesson21:52 Ocean Acidification Facts23:52 Corals And Warm Water24:48 Methane And Livestock Myth27:06 Fertilizer And Food Tradeoffs28:51 CO2 Greening Benefits30:56 Big Picture Conclusions33:04 New Research Water Vapor34:04 Observations Over Modeling36:05 Measuring Oceans And Ice39:21 Looking Ahead Calmly41:16 Final Thanks And WrapWilliam's website: https://wvanwijngaarden.info.yorku.ca/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Irish author and analyst Emmet Connor tells host Tom he has focused since 2015 on Marxism/communist indoctrination, defining it as an international revolutionary ideology aimed at destroying existing hierarchies and rebuilding a utopia. He argues “globalism” and the New World Order are communism repackaged, seen in open borders, climate policy, food controls, attacks on farming, education, and cultural issues like DEI and gender ideology, with Christians targeted. He discusses Ireland's pro-globalist politics, COVID as totalitarian economic attack linked to the CCP, and a broader China/Russia-led push for world dominance, including Africa via Belt and Road.

Ronald Stein discusses California's “refinery crisis,” arguing that heavy regulation is driving remaining refineries to consider leaving, after recent closures and a reported 17% decline from peak refining. He says California is an “energy island” with no pipelines over the Sierra Nevada, so most fuel must be made in-state; otherwise it would come from foreign refineries, potentially in Asia, raising costs, emissions, and national security concerns for military and international airports, ports, and trucking. Stein contends wind and solar only generate electricity and cannot replace refined-oil products used for transportation fuels and countless derivatives. He criticizes politicians and the press for not addressing practical replacement plans and advocates “energy literacy.”00:00 Refinery Crisis Begins00:42 California Energy Island01:22 Fuel Demand Reality Check02:03 Refineries Leaving Warning02:58 Climate Policy Pushback04:12 Voters Politicians Press05:04 Wind Solar Limits06:00 No Backup Plan06:14 Regulators And Newsom08:49 Oil Derivatives Explained09:47 Crude Types And Fracking11:46 How Regulations Drive Out13:15 Outsourcing Emissions Abroad14:39 Import Dependence Grows16:29 Shipping And Port Bottlenecks18:34 Clean Air But High Demand20:20 National Security Takeover Talk22:37 Campaign Silence And Media23:29 Planes Need Real Power24:51 Battery Plane Reality Check25:36 Electricity Imports Warning25:56 Importing Power and Fuel26:17 AI Power Crunch29:08 Refinery Rules and Costs30:54 Foreign Dependence Risks32:25 Scaling Alternatives34:35 Energy Literacy and Policy36:25 Nuclear Future39:26 Wind Reality Check41:32 California Oil Underfoot44:33 Oil Seeps and Tar Pits46:36 Zero Emissions Reality49:45 Global Poverty and Demand50:45 Where to Follow Ronald=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

John Parmentola discusses a puzzle of how sea levels fell ~400 feet during ice ages and argues global annual solar input is nearly constant, implying compensating regional heating when the Arctic cools. Using Antarctic ice-core temperature proxies and orbital mechanics, he introduces a new “countervailing obliquity precession effect” (COPE): a biannual insolation asymmetry that increases tropical-zone energy deposition while Arctic summer insolation and melt potential decline, affecting the hydrological cycle, moisture transport, albedo, and glacial descent. He estimates the evaporation energy need (~10^26 J) and says COPE energy over millennia exceeds this. He cites satellite/top-of-atmosphere energy-balance analysis (~1 W/m² net gain) and notes tests: second-half-year precipitation bias, possible Arctic moisture-transport bias, and CO2 outgassing seasonality.

Marc Morano talks about his decades covering climate politics and his view that the climate movement is in rapid collapse due to overreach, public skepticism, and post-COVID distrust of “appeal to authority.” Morano contrasts Trump 1.0's limited actions with Trump 2.0's aggressive agenda: hundreds of pro-energy moves, exits from numerous UN bodies, a push to end the EPA CO2 endangerment finding, and a consensus-busting climate report later vacated over procedural issues. He says Democrats, media, Wall Street, and major figures like Bezos and Gates have gone quiet or shifted, while UN COP summits have become smaller and scandal-prone. He warns climate controls may reappear via public-health framing and future administrations.00:00 Marc Morano Returns00:36 Climate Movement Hits Low02:31 Trump 1.0 vs 2.0 Setup04:02 UN Climate Origins and Data Wars07:14 GOP Nominees and Climate Drift09:23 Trump 1.0 Wins and Limits11:27 Biden Reversal and Green Mandates14:57 Trump 2.0 Energy Blitz15:19 Consensus Report Court Setback16:58 Zeldin Targets Endangerment Finding18:55 Iran War and Energy Shock Risk20:00 Media Silence and Narrative Flip21:59 Great Reset and WEF Agenda27:22 Elites Pivot From Climate to AI28:13 COVID Blowback Fuels Skepticism33:42 Mainstream Admits Net Zero Failure40:25 UN Summits Implode at COP3044:28 Amazon Highway Coverup45:39 Burgers Not Bugs46:57 Toilet Paper Contraband49:06 Summit Results Reality Check51:40 Billionaires Media Flip56:11 Energy Boom Coal Security57:56 Climate Agenda Collapse01:00:19 Narrative Culture War01:02:46 Rio Treaty Withdrawal01:05:20 Endangerment Finding Repeal01:08:27 Climate Meets Public Health01:11:31 Next Scares New Summits01:18:43 COP Future And Coalition01:25:40 Closing Thanks And Wraphttps://x.com/ClimateDepotClimate ranked #35 of 39 American voter issues: https://x.com/davidshor/status/2033906948525928569=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Raymond Inauen, a graphic artist with 35 years' experience, presents a free website of downloadable charts (PDF/PNG/ZIP) meant to teach CO2, climate, and energy basics or serve as a single reference. Charts cover CO2's molecule, atmospheric composition (about 420 ppm), natural vs anthropogenic emissions (4.9% manmade), ocean/land fluxes, plant physiology (stomata), C3/C4/CAM plants, photosynthesis, and a logarithmic CO2–temperature relationship.

Tom interviews Bernie Lewin about his 2017 book Searching for the Catastrophe Signal and his path from local environmentalism to blogging and writing for the Global Warming Policy Foundation. Lewin argues postwar “big science,” shifting religion's role in policy, and media narratives helped drive recurring environmental scares: DDT, ozone depletion tied to supersonic transport and CFCs, then 1970s global cooling amid energy crises. He claims funding incentives encouraged extreme atmospheric claims, and that policy often diverged from scientific uncertainty. The discussion covers the 1988 Hansen hearing as orchestrated, Thatcher and Bush support for expanded climate science, and IPCC early processes, focusing on the 1995 Second Assessment controversy where summaries and underlying text were allegedly altered around detection and “fingerprint” evidence.00:00 Meet Bernie Lewin00:28 From Environmentalism to Skepticism02:25 Science Replaces Religion04:30 Big Science After WWII06:05 Silent Spring and DDT Panic08:46 Supersonic Jets and Ozone Fears12:29 CFCs and the Ozone Hole18:29 Feedbacks and Funding Incentives21:33 Global Cooling Takes Off22:40 Energy Crisis and Climate Instability28:36 Coal vs Nuclear and CO2 Program36:12 Cooling to Warming Flip39:53 Hansen 1988 Hearing Moment41:32 Thatcher Bush and PoliticsSearching for the Catastrophe Signal: The Origins of The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: https://a.co/d/0bmYZdUXhttps://enthusiasmscepticismscience.wordpress.com/about/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Erich Schaffer argues climate science contains major blunders, chiefly that water vapor cools the planet and provides negative feedback. He explains the greenhouse effect as determined by emission altitude and the adiabatic lapse rate, criticizing older “back radiation” explanations. He claims climate budgets and attribution studies overstate surface emission by assuming Earth's surface is a blackbody, ignoring water's non-Lambertian behavior and ~0.91 hemispheric emissivity, which he says inflates the greenhouse effect and misattributes missing radiation to water vapor. He highlights latent heat cooling and contends empirical “proxy” methods used to infer strong positive water-vapor feedback are invalid due to lapse-rate behavior. He concludes climate sensitivity would drop to ~1 K or less.00:00 Meet Erich Schaffer01:06 Why Climate Basics Matter04:52 Greenhouse Effect Explained07:30 Lapse Rate Physics10:52 IPCC Definition Shift12:38 Debunking Back Radiation16:04 Cloud Window Mistake19:25 Latent Heat Cooling20:40 Who Causes Warming31:04 Reading the Spectrum33:46 What CO2 Forcing Means37:03 Deriving 3.7 Wm241:41 Water Vapor Feedback Setup45:35 Models vs Observations46:57 Empirical Feedback Proxies51:10 Calculating Feedback From Slopes54:16 Super Greenhouse Tropics Claim56:52 Lapse Rate Versus Water Vapor58:45 Moist Adiabats And Latent Cooling01:00:58 Clouds Versus Water Vapor Paradox01:05:21 Water Reflectivity And Polar Amplification01:09:55 Infrared Emissivity Of Water01:15:01 Surface Emissions Overstated01:21:16 Reattributing The Greenhouse Effect01:28:30 Thought Experiments Removing Water Vapor01:34:26 Why Regional Proxy Fails01:40:24 Seasonal Proxy Broken By Inversions01:44:37 Sluggish Troposphere Explains Slopes01:49:33 Wrap Up And Next Partshttps://x.com/erich_schafferhttps://greenhousedefect.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Catherine McBride talks about her paper “Premeditated Industrial Destruction,” arguing UK net-zero policies have driven deindustrialization without lowering global emissions by shifting production and emissions to countries like China. They discuss UK energy reliance on fossil fuels (about 75–80%), gas backup for wind, bans and legal obstacles to new North Sea and shale projects while importing gas, and high industrial electricity costs from wind-related grid and balancing costs plus multiple carbon taxes. McBride criticizes EV mandates and fines, insufficient charging and grid capacity, and policies pushing carmakers and firms like BP away. She says EU net-zero rules hurt farming and industry, notes coal's role and storage advantages, questions activist funding (including alleged Russian support), and contrasts Norway's hydro and state oil strategy with UK decisions.00:00 Meet Catherine McBride00:11 How Net Zero Killed Industry02:37 Fossil Fuels Reality Check04:19 Importing Gas While Banning Drilling07:05 Norway Hydro And LNG09:33 Hybrids Versus Pure EVs11:54 EV Mandates And Car Industry Exit15:38 China EVs And Charging Limits19:05 Grid Can't Handle Electrification35:33 BP Profits Politics And US Option37:37 Free Speech Shift And Chris Wright Wish38:54 UK Cabinet Energy Illiteracy41:29 Coal Mines Versus Activists43:44 Europe's Coal Reality Check47:50 Batteries and Load Shedding51:45 Why Solar Fails in Britain53:48 Subsidies Warp Farming57:16 Tariffs and Media Blind Spots01:03:29 NGO Funding and Anti-Fracking01:06:29 Russia Gas Markets and Nord Stream01:08:52 Norway's Oil Wealth Playbook01:10:27 UK Bets on Carbon Capture01:11:37 Trees Beat Tech Wrap-Uphttps://x.com/CeeMacBeehttps://catherinemcbride.substack.com/Premeditated Industrial Destruction?: https://gbbc.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Premeditated-Industrial-Destruction-Final-6th-April-2026-with-added-security-issue-v2.pdf=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Tom interviews investigative journalist Sonia Elijah about her book 3/11 Viral Takeover, a five-year, evidence-based chronicle of the COVID era with 941 citations drawn from FOIA releases, emails, and leaked documents. Elijah argues COVID policy reflected a coordinated, censorship-driven response, tracing a timeline of pre-2020 pandemic exercises, media/government coordination, and conflicts of interest. She discusses the WHO's March 11, 2020 pandemic declaration, alleged suppression of lab-origin discussion, flawed modeling used to justify lockdowns, and problems with PCR testing. The conversation covers propaganda and censorship networks (including the Trusted News Initiative), suppression of early treatments, harms from ventilators and drugs, and allegations of misclassified vaccine trial and safety data, including pregnancy and myocarditis concerns, urging accountability and preparedness against repetition.00:00 Meet Sonia Elijah00:18 Book Thesis and Censorship01:17 Research Depth and Purpose02:49 Will It Happen Again04:40 Why 3 11 Matters06:01 Pandemic Drills and mRNA Push10:53 Bat Database Goes Dark12:18 FOIA Emails and Lab Leak15:04 Cracks and Conflicts18:10 Lockdowns Driven by Models19:19 PCR Testing Anomalies25:31 Harms and Care Homes26:37 Testing Kit Profiteering29:40 Fear Messaging and Propaganda32:10 Dancing Nurses and Empty Wards33:39 Trusted News Initiative37:17 Natural Immunity Censored38:17 Lancet Study Fallout40:13 Ivermectin Smear Campaign41:57 Silencing Doctors Online43:30 Hospital Protocol Controversies45:09 Redefining Vaccinated Data46:38 Retracted Myocarditis Research48:46 Missing Safety Reports53:31 Pfizer Papers Deep Dive58:13 Vaccine Injured Silenced59:52 Pregnancy Harms Revealed01:04:40 Justice and Accountability01:07:32 Closing Thoughts on the Bookhttps://x.com/sonia_elijahhttps://linktr.ee/SoniaElijahBook Review by Robert Malone— 3/11: Viral Takeover: https://www.malone.news/p/book-review-311-viral-takeoverOrder it at Amazon here: https://www.malone.news/p/book-review-311-viral-takeover=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Thomas Kurz discusses his upcoming book, Why There Is No Climate Crisis (Kindle in May, print in June), and argues modest warming is largely natural, claiming the IPCC obscures evidence of past climate variability. He explains paleoclimate proxies (oxygen isotopes, carbon-14, beryllium-10) and links climate shifts to Milankovitch cycles, solar cycles, galactic cosmic rays influencing clouds, and ocean oscillations (AMO/PDO). Using temperature reconstructions, glacier, treeline, sea-level, historical freeze, agriculture, insect, and civilization records, he says warm periods brought prosperity while cold periods drove drought, famine, disease, and upheaval. He concludes about half of post-1850 warming is natural, warming is generally beneficial, and future cooling is likely.00:00 Guest And Book Intro00:24 Why He Dug In01:46 Focus On Climate Cycles03:44 Paleoclimate Proxies04:57 Isotopes And Temperature06:48 Cosmic Rays And Solar07:56 Milky Way Climate Cycle12:17 Milankovitch Ice Ages14:28 CO2 Follows Temperature17:10 Holocene Cooling Trend19:29 Schwabe Solar Cycles21:42 Millennial Solar Cycles23:14 Temperature Reconstructions25:04 Glaciers Treelines Seas28:44 Historical Freeze Evidence32:27 Farming And Wildlife Clues37:06 Warm Vs Cold Impacts41:28 Storm Evidence In Proxies44:44 Civilizations And Climate45:48 Holocene Optimum Prosperity47:42 2200 BC Collapse Event48:18 Minoan Warm Period Boom50:47 Greek Dark Ages Breakdown52:53 Roman Warm Period Growth54:23 Late Antique Cooling Plagues56:50 Medieval Warm Period Golden Age59:11 Little Ice Age Hardship01:06:46 Witch Hunts Climate Blame01:09:16 Modern Warming Attribution Debate01:12:17 Ocean Oscillations AMO PDO01:15:44 No Climate Crisis Wrap Up=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Brenda Shaffer discusses her Wall Street Journal piece arguing that current renewable-driven policies undermine energy security by making Western systems less reliable, more expensive, and dependent on concentrated supply chains, often tied to China. She says maritime security failures (Red Sea, Russia-Ukraine, Strait disruptions) show poor preparation, and argues fossil fuels still dominate the global energy mix (87%) despite decades of subsidies, while wind/solar remain limited and require backup baseload. She criticizes restricting fossil-fuel finance, especially in Africa, for worsening energy access and development. Shaffer claims UN climate institutions are political, seek taxation power withouBt representation, and that climate movements often oppose both fossil fuels and nuclear. She highlights Germany's costly energy transition, emphasizes operational energy in warfare, and calls to restore energy security as national security and enable open debate.00:00 Renewables and Crisis00:57 Energy Security Failures03:04 Emperor New Clothes05:36 China and Methane Politics10:32 Climate Narratives vs Reality12:33 Myths of Transition16:26 Cutting Supply Hurts Poor19:50 Africa Needs Real Power26:36 Germany Energiewende Fallout29:21 Climate Activism and Anti West30:33 Hydrocarbon Roadmap Skepticism31:19 UN Climate Taxes and Power Grabs33:18 Transparency and Budget Secrecy34:39 Trump Era Workarounds and Lawfare38:08 Gatekeepers and Speaking Freely39:13 Languages and Middle East Shifts44:07 Operational Energy in Warfare47:53 Military Electrification Limits51:52 IPCC Politics and Carbon Markets55:27 Extreme Weather Narratives58:01 Energy Realism Closing Messagehttps://x.com/ProfBShaffer=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Former European Commission energy official Samuel Furfari recounts COPs from the 1992 UN climate convention through recent meetings, arguing the process became propaganda-heavy, expensive, and ineffective as global CO2 emissions rose 66% since 1992. He cites Glasgow as a turning point when China and India blocked anti-coal language, and notes recent COPs hosted by fossil-fuel producers and growing pushback from Africa and others seeking development. He criticizes “technology transfer,” NGO influence (especially in the EU), and anti-nuclear sentiment, discusses synthetic fuels as too costly until oil/gas decline, and describes shifts at the IEA and oil firms like BP back toward oil and gas.00:00 Meet Samuel Furfari01:02 COP Zero Origins02:38 Berlin COP and Merkel04:14 Glasgow Turning Point06:11 Fossil Fuel Host COPs09:39 Brazil COP Contradictions10:46 Money and Degrowth Agenda12:49 Nuclear and Synthetic Fuels15:03 Cuckoo Takes the Nest17:19 COP Spectacle and Emissions20:07 Africa and Tech Transfer22:44 Papua New Guinea Shifts24:09 Polar Bear Messaging Fades25:40 IEA From Oil to Renewables29:03 US Pressures IEA30:05 Oil Chokepoints Reality31:08 Inside IEA Ideology32:00 BP Retreats to Oil35:21 Subsidy Driven Renewables35:57 NGOs Power Shift38:04 UN Leadership After Guterres40:32 Africa Needs Electrification43:06 Leaders Doubt Climate Agenda46:57 China Emissions Outsourcing49:31 COP Hosting Politics53:39 COP15 Failure and WrapThe Truth About the COPs: 30 years of illusions: https://a.co/d/05AuqsJEhttps://x.com/FurfariSamuele=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Andy May discusses how Earth's energy imbalance and ocean heat content relate to solar radiation versus greenhouse-gas downwelling IR. He argues IR photons are lower energy and absorbed in the ocean's top micrometers–millimeter (thermal/electromagnetic skin), so it cannot directly heat the mixed layer; instead it may reduce upward heat loss by altering the skin-layer temperature gradient, while sunlight penetrates meters to greater than 100 m and warms the bulk ocean. He critiques NASA-style energy-flow diagrams for confusing one-way radiative fluxes (e.g., 340 W/m²) with net heat (e.g., 58 W/m²). He highlights large uncertainties in EEI and OHC due to sparse, inconsistent datasets, cool-skin effects, short Argo-era records, and oscillations like AMO/ENSO, making partitioning of causes uncertain.00:00 Sun vs CO2 Setup00:35 Why IR Differs02:52 Ocean Skin Layers05:48 Photon Energy Debate07:55 Cool Skin Impacts10:01 Energy Diagram Myths13:33 EEI and OHC Limits18:17 Ocean Data Disagreements23:55 Surface EEI Variability26:38 IR Cannot Heat Deep29:51 Bottom Line Uncertainty31:18 Q&A and Critiques34:52 Modeling and Coverage36:41 Regional Trend Map41:21 Closing Takeawayshttps://x.com/Andy_May_Writerhttps://andymaypetrophysicist.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Kevin Mooney discusses his book “Climate Pxrn,” inspired by climate propaganda in classrooms and a push to restore the scientific method. He critiques polar-bear and other climate messaging, argues funding and politics suppress skeptics, and describes threats to prosecute dissent via RICO-style lawfare. He highlights Trump-era moves such as leaving the Paris Agreement and efforts to reverse the EPA's 2009 endangerment finding on CO2, calling it a major deregulatory change. Mooney cites Canada's carbon tax costs and bureaucracy as warnings, alleges Russian and Chinese money influences anti-fracking activism, and raises national-security concerns about China-linked energy supply chains and offshore wind. He also criticizes EV lithium-battery fire risks, climate activism in healthcare, carbon-tracking credit cards, and argues AI power demand is undermining wind/solar claims.00:00 Meet Kevin Mooney01:13 Acorn to Green Groups01:54 Polar Bear Myth03:27 NASA vs Climate Models06:57 Solar System Climate Clues07:50 Silencing Skeptics09:39 Criminalizing Dissent11:36 Paris Deal and Lawfare12:24 EPA Endangerment Fight15:00 Canada Carbon Tax Reality17:53 Foreign Money and Fracking21:14 China Grid Security Risks22:17 Offshore Wind and Security24:29 Wind Groups vs Locals24:54 EV Battery Fire Risks26:21 Climate Policies in Healthcare28:36 Carbon Tracking Credit Cards29:56 Second Amendment Backstop31:08 ESG Retreat and BlackRock32:37 COVID and Classroom Climate Push34:23 Young Men Shift and Faith35:23 Climate Agenda and Marxism36:41 Herding Rural America to Cities38:16 Union of Concerned Scientists39:46 Government Science Funding Distortion40:46 AI Power Demand and RGGI43:28 Greenwashing and Energy Reality44:28 Offshore Wind and Whale Deaths45:58 Heartland Conference Takeaways48:36 Closing Thoughts and Book Plughttps://x.com/KevinMooneyDChttps://kevinmooney.info/Climate Pxrn: How and Why Anti-Population Zealots Fabricate Science, while Targeting American Capitalism, Freedom, and Independence: https://a.co/d/05Cd61cX=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Vlad Bogorov talks about Glasgow City Council's plans to spend tens of billions to pursue net zero and Bogorov's three YouTube videos from public meetings where officials gave vague, cliché answers, asked for written questions, and objected to being filmed. Bogorov argues such environmentalism is “low resolution thinking,” primarily about power and public money, and claims renewables and policies like EVs can increase CO2 when accounting for grid losses, mining, and transmission. He cites Germany closing nuclear and burning more coal, contends nuclear is safest and necessary for net zero, and urges critics to focus on whether environmentalism raises or lowers CO2 rather than debating global warming itself.00:00 Glasgow Net Zero Meetings01:07 YouTube Complaint Fallout02:00 Vague Answers No Details03:54 Renewables And Public Trough04:35 Low Resolution Thinking05:02 History Slavery Nuclear Examples09:36 Sahara Solar Fantasy11:53 Environmentalism Blocks Nuclear14:24 Wrong Conversation On Costs16:31 Electric Vehicles Emit More20:06 Germany Coal After Nuclear24:34 Politics Is About Power27:31 Debating CO2 And Focus28:45 Environmentalism Backfires30:11 EV Batteries and Tradeoffs31:15 Glasgow Council Push32:28 Power Without Accountability34:29 Why Facts Dont Persuade39:23 Placards and Public Reactions41:15 Change the Battlefield42:04 Anti Nuclear Contradiction46:46 Winning and the Real Cost47:48 Social Movements End Hard49:45 Closing ThanksHis YouTube channel, “Buchanan Street is my pub.”: https://www.youtube.com/@Buchanan1111When History Had Other Plans, 2025: https://a.co/d/4ykoJrJ=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Julian Morris presents slides on climate change: global temperatures have risen since 1850 and human greenhouse gas emissions plausibly contribute via radiative forcing, but he argues harms are not worsening. Using the EM-DAT disaster database, he notes reported extreme-weather disasters rose while geophysical disasters rose similarly, suggesting reporting and population effects; meanwhile climate-disaster mortality has fallen over 90% since the 1920s due to adaptation, technology, trade, infrastructure, warnings, and better buildings. He highlights long-term declines in energy and CO2 per GDP and potential decoupling, attributing progress to innovation and institutions like free markets and property rights. He critiques democratically unaccountable NGO–foundation–intergovernmental coalitions, discusses perverse incentives in conservation (rhino horn trade bans), ethanol mandates, and possible blockchain tracking for wildlife products.00:00 Meet Julian Morris01:02 Is the World Warming01:33 Are Humans Causing It02:24 Disaster Counts Rising04:51 Why Disasters Get Counted06:21 Deaths From Disasters Fall07:46 How Humans Adapt11:03 Should We Worry Next11:34 Efficiency Cuts Emissions13:57 Energy Decouples From CO216:20 Fuel Shifts Over Time21:13 Tech Efficiency Breakthroughs23:18 Projecting To Net Zero24:37 Environmental Kuznets Curve27:24 Institutions Drive Decoupling29:48 Policy Takeaways And Tradeoffs31:54 Global Carbon Intensity Trends32:22 Hurricanes And Alarmism32:47 Lighting Progress Metrics33:44 Segmented Sleep Debate35:07 Democratic Deficit Ecosystem37:32 Climate Coalition Incentives39:39 Declining Climate Credibility42:13 Availability Cascades Explained43:35 Perverse NGO Incentives46:10 Rhino Horn Trade Ban Fallout50:42 Saving Species With Trade51:59 Ethanol Baptist Bootleggers54:54 Blockchain For Provenance57:26 Wrap Up And Resourceshttps://reason.org/author/julian-morris/https://x.com/Julian_MorrisDefending Democracy from the DoDOs: How Power Escapes Democratic Control: https://laweconcenter.org/resources/defending-democracy-from-the-dodos-part-i-how-power-escapes-democratic-control/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Professor Demetris Koutsoyiannis presents a 2020 talk arguing the “climate change agenda” is political, tracing it to Henry Kissinger's 1974 UN speech and subsequent WMO, CIA, U.S. agency actions, leading to the CO2 program, world climate conferences, and the IPCC's 1988 creation. He reviews Time magazine's shifting narratives from global cooling to warming and CO2, then describes elite networks and philanthropy—especially Rockefeller-linked funding—aimed at moving climate from science to policy, promoting carbon pricing, and expanding global governance. He draws a historical analogy to Rockefeller-supported eugenics and warns of emergency politics limiting rights. In discussion, he contrasts Greek and U.S. belief levels and says COVID fears waned in Greece while climate remains influential.00:00 Intro and Talk Setup01:43 Roadmap and Sources03:15 1973-74 Power Players05:45 Kissinger Career Background06:44 Five Labors Overview10:16 Climate Alert at UN12:38 Cooling Scare and Agencies14:38 CO2 Program to IPCC Birth16:42 Climategate and IPCC Politics19:00 Time Magazine Narrative Shift19:30 From Ice Age to CO2 Villain22:57 Rio to Kyoto Green Industry24:47 Panic Marketing and Activism26:38 Greta and Climate Migration28:15 COVID vs Climate Messaging31:09 Part Three World Saviors31:30 Rockefeller Web of Influence33:34 Money Geography and Oil Roots35:32 Big Oil Meets Big Green37:11 Grantmaking and Consensus37:56 Rockefeller Climate Strategy39:29 Divestment and Multi Agenda Grants41:14 Foundation Funding Machine42:53 Podesta Emails Elite Coordination44:26 Big Green Mega Projects45:27 Climate Emergency State48:35 Climate as Global Governance Vehicle51:58 Supranational Solutions Go Mainstream55:12 Paris COP Influence Network56:53 Eugenics Historical Parallel59:25 From Consensus to State Policy01:02:31 Epilogue Doom Predictions01:04:09 COVID Pivot and World Order01:08:56 Closing Truth and Freedom01:11:22 Q and A Wrap UpHome page: https://www.itia.ntua.gr/en/dk/Substack: https://climath.substack.com/The political origin of the climate change agenda: https://www.itia.ntua.gr/en/docinfo/2035/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Jules de Waart, an 84-year-old former geologist, Dutch parliamentarian, civil servant, and physical geographer, discusses returning to climate topics after retirement and writing his skeptical book, "Crisis or Hoax," after an article was refused. He describes translating it to English using translation software and later joining the CO2 Coalition. Using geological and satellite-temperature slides, he argues Earth's climate has long cycled through icehouse/greenhouse periods, the Holocene had earlier warm periods, and recent temperature spikes align with natural factors rather than CO2. He disputes claims of a strong scientific consensus, cites studies showing few papers explicitly quantify IPCC dominance, critiques alarmist messaging, and urges defending the scientific method and caution on geoengineering.00:00 Meet Jules de Waart02:49 Why He Wrote The Book03:08 Research And Translation Process06:13 Two Big Climate Questions10:26 Deep Time Climate History14:32 Holocene Warm Periods18:25 IPCC 1990 And Hockey Stick21:02 Satellites Spikes And Natural Drivers25:43 Debunking The 97 Percent Consensus30:59 Scary Messaging And White Lies34:19 Is The Narrative Cracking42:49 Power Politics And Global Reset Claims49:00 Closing Advice And Scientific MethodAmazon link for “Crisis or Hoax?: Climate change in science, media and politics”: https://a.co/d/0hF1DizdTilak Doshi: “This Book by a Dissenting Climate Scientist is the Perfect Red Pill for the Curious”: https://tilakdoshi.substack.com/p/this-book-by-a-dissenting-climate?publication_id=2241724=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Reporter Audrey Streb discusses joining the White House press pool for The Lion, aiming to ask energy-focused questions. Drawing on her work at the Daily Caller News Foundation, she argues corporate media fuels “climate doomsday” coverage by spotlighting supportive studies and ignoring contrary ones, and she outlines tactics like calling out bad data, highlighting underplayed leads, and framing stories for readers. She cites reporting on retracted climate research, sea-level findings, China's coal use and its comments on EPA rule rollbacks, and national-security risks from Chinese solar inverters. Her questioning of EPA Administrator Zeldin helped spur Sen. Cynthia Lummis' bill to block foreign adversaries from commenting on U.S. rulemaking.

Matt Ridley discusses an NIH invitation from Jay Bhattacharya to speak on scientific freedom and argues the COVID-19 pandemic was more likely caused by a lab leak than a natural spillover, citing Wuhan research on engineered sarbecoviruses, lack of an infected animal host, and alleged cover-ups. He says scientific institutions resisted debate, harming trust in science, and notes historical lab leaks and ongoing biosecurity and bioterrorism risks. Ridley also critiques overclaims about COVID measures and vaccines and connects pandemic-driven skepticism to climate debates. He then explains themes from his books on progress and on bird sexual selection, lekking, bowerbirds, and how female choice drives beauty, plus brief Darwin and family-history anecdotes.00:00 NIH Invite and Lab Leak01:08 Evidence and Coincidences02:50 Establishment Pushback04:49 Science Trust Fallout07:00 History of Lab Leaks08:34 Biosecurity and Terror Risk10:32 Defining Gain of Function11:57 Pandemic Cynicism and Policy14:14 Climate Debate Parallels18:44 Rational Optimist Progress21:12 Neanderthals and Exchange25:36 Gene Culture Coevolution31:33 Bird Sex and Beauty Intro33:56 Sexy Son Hypothesis36:14 Sexual Selection vs Natural37:10 Why Birds Look Beautiful40:27 Wood Thrush Song Evolution41:28 Bowerbirds Invent Art43:26 Peacock Tail Debates45:33 City Life Drives Evolution47:47 Traffic and Telegraph Selection51:42 Birds Are Poetry53:18 Irish Elk Mega Antlers56:25 Black Grouse Lek Video58:13 Darwin Marries Cousin01:00:45 Family Estate Through Centuries01:03:59 Wrap Up and Invitationhttps://x.com/mattwridleyhttps://www.mattridley.co.uk/blog/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

David Brett, founder of The New Westminster Times, discusses a talk he gave on “eco fascism,” which he says originated with Greenpeace founders. Citing Patrick Moore's book and his work at Green Spirit Strategies, he argues environmental activism is “90% communications,” using media “mind bombs” (dramatic imagery, celebrities, and litigation) to shape public opinion against mining, oil, forestry, and pipelines. He says Moore, a Greenpeace co-founder, has been “airbrushed” and smeared as disinformation. Brett critiques films like Anthropocene, “Sue Big Oil,” climate-emergency messaging, Greta Thunberg rallies, and NGO “youth washing,” and says activists link climate to Indigenous grievance. He urges industry to invest in human-interest counter-messaging and local civic pushback.00:00 Meet David Brett00:26 Eco Fascism Origins01:08 Mining Versus Activists01:34 Patrick Moore Influence04:06 Greenpeace Mind Bombs07:14 From Whales to Politics08:31 PR War Imbalance11:59 Smearing Patrick Moore16:04 Anthropocene Media Tactics21:14 Critical Minerals Pivot25:52 Pipeline Battles Canada30:58 Greta Rally and Sacred Water34:31 Climate Anxiety Messaging36:04 Why No Pushback36:52 Greenpeace Lawsuit Setup37:35 Sue Big Oil Campaign39:44 Fires and Weather Hype44:37 Youthwashing at City Hall47:00 How to Fight Back Locally50:30 Human Stories Media Strategy57:40 Eco Fascism Endgame59:38 Climate Meets Indigenous Grievance01:04:34 Media Gatekeepers and Alternatives01:08:24 Wrap Up and LinksThe Eco-Fascist War on Private Property: https://x.com/NewWestTimes/status/2012650288553906493https://x.com/NewWestTimeshttps://x.com/davidhbrettYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfsOXbN6XqqdL5v3ArKt-NA/videos=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Robert Cutler argues that climate patterns repeat about every 3,560 years (and 7,120), based on shifting proxy reconstructions—especially high‑resolution Greenland ice cores—and confirming with correlation analysis across Greenland cores, an Antarctic core, and lake sediment records from China and Alaska. He notes phase inversions possibly tied to ~2,400‑year Bray and Bond cycles and highlights alignments among events like the Younger Dryas, the 8.2 ka and 4.7 ka events, and the Dark Ages cold period. Cutler connects 3,560 to harmonics/subharmonics of Jovian-planet conjunction timing, the Jose cycle, and other periodicities (e.g., ~1,850 and ~890 years), suggesting strong non-subtle forcing possibly involving solar activity.00:00 Meet Robert Cutler27:27 Correlation Confirms 356031:05 Predictions and Next Steps32:33 Where 3560 Comes From34:04 Can Planets Modulate Sun36:40 Solar Core Resonance Idea40:39 Harmonics in Planet Orbits41:56 Impulsive Conjunction Forces43:44 JPL Data and Long Cycles47:50 Grand Alignment Phase Markers49:57 Jose Cycle and Barycenter53:02 Hidden 890 Year Beat57:14 Rapid Climate Event Timing59:55 Harmonic Subharmonic Map01:02:18 Summary and Open Questions01:06:30 Reproducible Code and Tools01:08:43 Next Steps and Wrap Uphttps://x.com/RCutler34A 3560-Year Jovian Solar and Climate Cycle: https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.27244.01925Simple python script to download and plot climate and sunspot data with 3560- and 7120-year offsets: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/401300980_Simple_python_script_to_download_and_plot_climate_and_sunspot_data_with_3560-_and_7120-year_offsets=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Randall Bock, a primary care physician and writer, discusses science as both knowledge and method, warning that post-COVID dissent can harden into new dogma. He argues the autism “epidemic” is confounded by shifting definitions, DSM changes, diagnostic substitution (notably from intellectual disability), incentives, and social context, making single-cause claims unreliable. Bock describes internal conflict with Brownstone and criticizes Toby Rogers' vaccine-centered, revolutionary framing, including calls for massive reparations and abolishing vaccines, as unscientific moral certainty. He supports case-by-case risk–benefit thinking on vaccines and urges precise classification and evidence-led inquiry, comparing autism debates to oversimplified climate debates.00:00 What Science Really Is03:30 From Dissent To Dogma05:48 Blind Men And Autism09:04 Defining Autism First10:49 Why Autism Looks Bigger15:50 Genes Epigenetics And Timing18:36 Twin Studies And Disputes21:32 Diagnostic Drift And Labels26:24 Mental Health Incentives29:47 More Analogies Chrysalis30:11 Butterfly Spectrum Metaphor31:12 Gala Night Confrontation35:01 Amateur Versus Expert37:06 Autism Tsunami Claims39:32 Marxist Vaccine Narrative41:45 Denialism and Data43:49 Monocausal Vaccine Thesis45:59 Anger and Overcorrection48:08 Amish and Diagnosis Context51:44 Climate Analogy and Precision55:48 RFK Memory and Institutions57:25 Case by Case Conclusionhttps://x.com/@DrRandallBockAutism, Vaccines, and the Diagnostic Empire: https://randoctor.substack.com/p/autism-vaccines-and-the-diagnosticThe Truth About Autism and Vaccines Doesn't Suit Either Side: https://dailysceptic.org/2026/02/14/the-truth-about-autism-and-vaccines-doesnt-suit-either-side/The Hidden Cost of Mental Health Parity”: https://brownstone.org/articles/the-hidden-cost-of-mental-health-parity/Unraveling Autism's Surge: Genetics, Environment, and the Expanding Diagnostic Net https://randoctor.substack.com/p/unraveling-autisms-surge=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
