Koonin discusses how Trae needs to be recognized as the All-Star that he is
Today we were thrilled to visit with Dr. Steven Koonin, Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, for the final COBT episode of 2024. Dr. Koonin joined the Hoover Institution this year following 12 years at NYU, serving as a professor in the Schools of Business, Engineering, and Physics. Before his tenure at NYU, Dr. Koonin served as the Under Secretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy in the Obama Administration. Our discussion was particularly timely as Dr. Koonin recently authored an Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal entitled “The Right Way for Trump to Ditch the Paris Agreement” (linked here). Dr. Koonin is also the author of “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, And Why It Matters.” Today marks Dr. Koonin's third appearance on COBT (previous episodes include April 20, 2022 linked here and May 17, 2021 linked here). It was fantastic to hear Dr. Koonin's perspective on energy, climate, and the future as we close out 2024 and look ahead to 2025. As you will hear, he has lots of great thoughts about a broad range of things! In our conversation, we explore the need for a global course correction in energy and climate policy, the opportunities and challenges of having more business-minded individuals in government, the disconnect between the scientific community and public policy, and the importance of transparency and effective communication by government leaders to explain energy and climate policy issues more clearly to the public. We discuss key points from Dr. Koonin's Op-Ed, including his proposed actions for the Trump Administration if they were to withdraw the US from the Paris Agreement, the implications of Europe's energy strategies and their lasting consequences, and Dr. Koonin's suggestions to restructure the Loan Programs Office to prioritize research and development of scalable, economically viable technologies. Dr. Koonin shares his observations on fusion energy as a potentially transformative energy source and the opportunities and challenges involved, talks about intriguing advances in energy storage, and touches on other technological innovations including underground coal gasification with carbon sequestration. We also cover the US's role in setting an example for energy policy and improving global energy access, Dr. Koonin's outlook for 2025, and more. It was a wide-ranging and insightful discussion. Thank you Dr. Koonin for joining! Mike Bradley kicked off the show by highlighting the performance of a handful of commodity and equity prices since Dr. Koonin last appeared on COBT (4/19/22). The 10-year bond yield (~4.4%) surged last week, sending it back to previous Trump post-election highs. It's consensus that the FED will cut interest rates by a quarter point at Wednesday's FOMC Rate Decision meeting, but what's not consensus and what bonds are trying to handicap, is the path forward for interest rates in 2025. On the broader equity market front, markets took a bit of a breather last week and are mixed/modestly lower this week given that investors are laser-focused on the FOMC Meeting, especially Chairman Powell's Post Conference dialogue on future interest rate policy. On the crude oil market front, WTI rallied ~$4/bbl (to ~$71/bbl) last week but continues to trade in a very tight trading band (~$68-$71/bbl) given that fundamentals still seem to point to a 2025 global supply surplus. On the gas market front, although the news came out after our COBT recording, the DOE's long-waited “Updated Final Analyses on LNG Exports” was released. The analysis stopp

Prof. Koonin is an American theoretical physicist and former director of the Center for Urban Science and Progress at NYU, as well as a professor in the Department of Civil and Urban Engineering at NYU School of Engineering. In the past he was the Chief Scientist of BP's oil and gas division, served as Under Secretary for Science in the Department of Energy, in the Obama administration, and was the vice-president of Caltech, one of the most prestigious scientific institutes in the world. Steven is the author of the book “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters”, where he argues that while there are some basic facts about climate change that experts agree upon, the meaning of those facts is not so settled, and mainstream scientific studies do not support the notion that there is any kind of climate crisis at all. From Efrat Fenigson: “I cover politics, health, climate, money, economics & bitcoin, propaganda, and more. From time to time I cover the state of affairs in Israel, the broader picture of global events, and our role as sovereign citizens.” This conversation discusses Climate Realism - the sane approach to the “Climate Change” alarmism, and the role of media in shaping public perception. We touched on topics such as the use of the term 'climate denier,' bias in the energy industry, the challenges faced by young scientists who question the climate narrative, the role of journalists in spreading misinformation, and the influence of organizations like the UN and Covering Climate Now. We talked about the viral documentary 'Climate the Movie' and censorship attempts. Lastly we touched on the funding dynamic in climate research, and geoengineering / chemtrails. Steven emphasizes the need for open scientific discussion and the importance of prudence in considering these interventions. We end with the challenges & optimism in maintaining integrity and truth-telling in a corrupted world.

Is climate science being politicized? Are facts being misrepresented and distorted to fit a certain narrative? Are climate scientists trying to dictate policy instead of investigating the actual truth? And what does it mean to be accused of being a global warming denier? Here today to discuss this controversial topic with me is no other than Steven Koonin! Steven is a renowned theoretical physicist and has recently been working on urban studies and government policies. He has also published a very provocative book, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters. The book caused a lot of controversy as it challenged the dominant narrative on global warming, and today, he is here to state his case!
Steven Koonin is one of America's most distinguished scientists, with decades of experience, including a stint as undersecretary of science at the Department of Energy in the Obama administration. In this wide-ranging discussion, based in part on his 2021 book, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters, Koonin gives a more refined look at the science behind the climate issue than the media typically offers, guiding us through the evidence and its implications. As Koonin explains in this interview, he was “shaken by the realization that climate science was far less mature than I had supposed” and that the “overwhelming evidence” of catastrophic implications of anthropogenic global warming wasn't so overwhelming after all.
Washington has spent nearly $2 trillion on “clean” energy incentives and is still pushing for a “Green New Deal”—all due to the prevailing concern about climate change. But what if they're wrong? Today, I'm sitting down with the Department of Energy's former Under Secretary of Science, Steve Koonin, to talk about the real facts behind modern climate science.Topics Discussed:An Introduction to Steven Koonin (00:00:00)Why Climate Change is a Hot-Button Issue (00:02:09)Rising Sea Levels and Melting Ice Caps (00:08:19)Hurricanes, Tornadoes and other Disasters (13:45)What's Causing Climate Change (00:19:53)Climate Science's Effect on Society(00:26:40)Changing Weather Challenges Global Warming (00:33:36)The Death of Fossil Fuels Has Been Greatly Exaggerated (00:38:41)Guest Bio: Steven Koonin is a theoretical physicist and former Under Secretary for Science at the Department of Energy.

Steven is a respected climate scientist. The book covers what climate science tells us, what it doesn't, and why it matters. This book will challenge what you think you know about climate science. For example, did you know forest fires have declined since 1998 when records were started? Did you know that bad storms are no more common than they were in 1900? Did you know human activity has had no impact on the number of hurricanes? Well, you are probably getting what you know about climate change from the media, not scientists. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ancienttexan/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ancienttexan/support
Presenters: Niall Ferguson, Milbank Family Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution; and Steven Koonin, Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution. Chair: Ronald Bailey, science correspondent, Reason Magazine. Steven Koonin argued that many advocates of sweeping mandates for climate change frequently peddle misinformation, promote extreme scenarios as the consequence of global temperature rises, and smear critics of their arguments as “deniers” and with other detractions. Koonin then presented several examples from his research that provide context for environmental trends that are usually omitted from the prevailing literature on the subject. Niall Ferguson examined the rhetoric of proponents of drastic action against climate change, many of whom assert that, if the policies they favor aren't adopted, the world will experience a catastrophe involving extraordinarily high temperatures, precipitation, and sea levels. __________________________ Click the following link for more information https://www.hoover.org/news/hoover-institution-hosts-conference-evaluating-market-driven-versus-regulatory-approaches

We are always delighted to hear from young people in energy and today's COBT session was a fantastic experience. This week's primary speaker is a longstanding friend and former COBT guest, Dr. Steven Koonin. Dr. Koonin is a Professor at the Stern School of Business at NYU, Nonresident Senior Fellow at AEI and the Author of "Unsettled." Prior to joining NYU, he served as the Under Secretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy under the Obama Administration and was formerly the Chief Scientist at BP. Today we had the pleasure of joining not only Dr. Koonin, but also a few of his students (Matt Mayeski, Alice Nuz, and Beniamin Strzelecki) for an engaging discussion around energy, climate, and the future.In our discussion with Dr. Koonin, we cover his course, the reception of "Unsettled" since its publication almost one year ago, and high-level takeaways from the IPCC's 2022 Report. Dr. Koonin's energy course is a "soup to nuts" analysis of the technology, economics, markets, regulation, public perception, and other forces shaping the future of energy. We discuss ideas, observations, and thoughts on solutions with his students and get their unique opinions on what the energy world may look like in ten years.Mike Bradley started the show with a look at equity and commodity performance from the past week as well as an analysis on the US natural gas curve, the European natural gas curve, and the potential interactions of the coal and gas markets. Colin Fenton expanded on the IMF Global Financial Stability Report from April with a handful of key takeaway points.Thank you to Dr. Koonin for arranging today's discussion at NYU and a special thank you to Matt, Alice, and Beniamin for joining the conversation! We hope you enjoy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrf7_isQNr4 In episode 37 of the PetroNerds podcast, Trisha Curtis sits down with Steven E. Koonin, the author of "Unsettled." Trisha and Steve discuss the premise of the book, the elevation of climate change in policy making, potential pitfalls in the data, and the controversial topic of understanding how much humans are influencing global warming and the certainty of that in the reports and analysis. This is a frank discussion about the cost of the energy transition and the certainty or lack thereof that climate change is indeed a "code red for humanity." This is a nerdy and controversial topic podcast filled with analysis and questions. Steve and Trisha discuss the definitions of "climate" vs. "weather," the the importance of having a proper discussion and debate on how to address concerns about climate change and global warming, the ability to accurately model and have high degrees of certainty, grid reliability, the IEA's net zero by 2050 report, monetary policy, Xcel's shutting down of coal fired power plants and rate hikes, and Steve's comment that "net zero by 2050 is a fantasy." This book is about "What Climate Science Tells Us, What it Doesn't, and Why It Matters." Steven is the former Undersecretary for Science at the US Department of Energy for the Obama Administration and the former Chief Scientist with BP. This is timely, nerdy, and a must listen to episode of the PetroNerds podcast.

While the scientific community has reached a broad consensus about climate change and the warming planet, just how well does the general public understand this consensus? In this week's episode of the podcast, Steven E. Koonin is here to discuss what we know about climate change, what we don't, and how we should respond to the warming planet. Steve is a professor at New York University and a nonresident senior fellow here at the American Enterprise Institute. Previously, he served as the Under Secretary for Science at the US Department of Energy under Barack Obama from 2009 to 2011. This year, he published https://www.amazon.com/Unsettled-Climate-Science-Doesnt-Matters/dp/1950665798 (Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters).

According to Steven Koonin, when it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” Koonin avers that the long game of telephone from research to reports, to the popular media, is corrupted by misunderstanding and misinformation. Koonin says that core questions about the way the climate is responding to our influence, and what the impacts will be remain largely unanswered. Koonin acknowledges that the climate is changing, and he claims the whyand how aren't as clear as you've probably been led to believe, and what the impacts will be remain largely unanswered. In this engaging conversation Michael Shermer challenges Dr. Koonin with many of the most common critiques of his book, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters, and Steven Koonin responds by drawing upon his decades of experience — including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration.
Climate change is real, it is caused by human beings, and it is an existential threat to humankind. Politicians and industry leaders now claim to be taking it seriously. Their performances often fall short of their promises. Theoretical physicist and author Steven Koonin, however, extends climate critique to scientists and the media, arguing that while climate change is real, the consensus conclusions we have reached are overstated, the science is often miscommunicated or misinterpreted, and our policies are headed in the wrong direction. At Open to Debate, we disagree with Dr. Koonin's thesis, but we ask nonetheless: What is to be done about climate policy?On this episode of Open to Debate, David Moscrop talks with Steven Koonin, University Professor at New York University and Director of the Center for Urban Science and Progress, former Undersecretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy under President Obama, and author of Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters.

John talks with Steve E. Koonin, a theoretical physicist and policymaker, about the future of energy and the politics of climate change. Steve reflects on how the politicisation of climate science has led to a lack of transparency regarding climate statistics.
Steven E Koonin -- undersecretary for science in the Obama administration and author of ‘Unsettled' -- talks to Brendan O'Neill about the dangers of politicising ‘The Science', the irrationality of Net Zero, and why humanity can adapt to a changing climate.

On April 27th, physicist Steve Koonin, who worked in the Obama Administration's Department of Energy, published a challenge to climate catastrophism called “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, what It Doesn't, and Why It Matters.” While the climate catastrophe movement usually ignores criticisms, Koonin's scientific standing, plus the fact that the book became a major bestseller, made this harder to do. Unfortunately, climate catastrophists have still tried their best to ignore Koonin's arguments, and when they have engaged him it is through scientific smearing—such as an attack in Scientific American that consisted largely of ad hominems and attacking summaries of his book by a Washington Post columnist. On this week's episode of Power Hour, Steve Koonin joins Alex Epstein to discuss not only the smears but much of what has been happening in the climate conversation over the last 5 months, including: - The recent IPCC report—including the curious absence of key graphs, the use of "attribution studies," and the methodology used to make climate models "hotter" even though they have typically over predicted warming in the past. - The media's exaggerated portrayal of the recent IPCC report. - The positive reaction to Koonin's book. - What scientists have told Koonin behind the scenes. - Koonin's upcoming debates.
We spoke with Dr. Steven Koonin about his new book, "Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters." Dr. Koonin is a former Undersecretary for Science in the US Department of Energy under President Obama and is currently a Professor at New York University, with appointments in the Stern School of Business, the Tandon School of Engineering, and the Department of Physics See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Dr. Steve Koonin, Obama's appointee as Undersecretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy, joins Jacki to discuss his new book, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters. Koonin dispels fear with facts as he reviews the most current climate science to show that the future is far better than the prevailing narrative suggests. With more than 200 peer-reviewed papers in relevant scientific disciplines, Dr. Koonin was a professor of theoretical physics and Caltech and now is a professor at New York University with appointments in the Department of Physics, Tandon School of Engineering, and the Stern Business School. If your friends or family are experiencing fear or anxiety about their climate future, this book is for them! Next, Jacki is joined by Brigham McCown, CEO of Alyeska Pipeline, supplying the U.S. west coast with the energy it needs to survive. McCown fact checks the false narratives of fringe media suggesting that climate change is creating challenges to pipelines, which could sink into the permafrost. Jacki and Brigham unpack the uninformed claims and give the true safety record of Alaska's famous pipeline which is soon to celebrate 45 years of safe operation. Pipelines are safe and green. Consider that trains transport hazardous materials safely about 99.997% of the time, and pipelines are about 50% safer than rail, with only a small fraction of the pollution by comparison. Mr. McCown is the former Acting Director of the Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and is a retired naval aviator. Then, Jacki is joined by Don Huffines, the businessman and former Texas State Senator who is running to unseat Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Huffines discusses the problems with ERCOT, the breakdown of the rule of law at our border – a problem for the entire country – and what leadership requires in times of uncertainty, such as when a virus strikes, and a governor must show the proper respect for both public health - and freedom. Texas shut down during the pandemic, unnecessarily devastating the oil patch and small business. Huffines has other ideas. We at The Jacki Daily Show are looking forward to watching this contest unfold! Our friends at Glenn Beck's Mercury One rose to the occasion in Afghanistan, saving 5,100 desperate people who fled for their lives. If you would like to help, consider Mercury One which works to “liberate the captive, to free the enslaved, and to rescue, rebuild and restore the lives of Christians and other persecuted religious and ethnic minorities wherever and whenever they are in need.” Visit MercuryOne.org for more information. Finally, friend of The Jacki Daily Show, Barbara Denson, is nominated for a Reader's Choice Award for her children's book, Wind Blows. Check it out, and we recommend a vote for Barbara's book at https://www.tckpublishing.com/2021-readers-choice-voting-page/ (page 11) Good luck, Barbara!

A 15-billion-dollar lawsuit has hit the Biden Administration after it cancelled the Keystone XL Pipeline. The Canadian developer claims massive damages from the reversal of the Trump policy to finish the pipeline… which was a reversal of the Obama policy. After more than eight years of study and hundreds of meetings with state, local, tribal, and federal officials, the developers had their contracts destroyed when Biden killed what was the most advanced and safely designed pipeline to date; the pipeline would have delivered crude with a tiny fraction of the carbon emissions of the alternatives (Buffet's crude-by-rail or crude-by-truck). Pipelines have a safety record that is 50% better than crude-by-rail, which delivers hazardous materials safely from point A to point B literally 99.9% of the time. Is the pipeline cancellation really about the environment and safety? Or a continuation of killing U.S. energy security? Climate change is real, and mankind plays a role, but is this a problem? Will climate change bring economic disaster? Is it an existential threat? Resoundingly “No,” according to Steven Koonin, the former Undersecretary of Science in the Obama administration's Department of Energy. He recently released Jacki's favorite new book, “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters." Koonin proves that sea levels are not surging, and that hurricanes and tornadoes have not become fierce and more frequent. Koonin is the author of more than 200 peer-reviewed articles in physics and climate science, and a professor of theoretical physics at NYU's Department of Physics, Tandon School of Engineering, and the Stern Business School. Jacki highly recommends this book. Can the judicial branch bend the executive branch to its will? Yes. “Sue and Settle” is back. When fringe elements of an activist movement cannot get their way legislatively - through the people's representatives - they forum shop for judges sympathetic to their cause. Activists sue friendlies inside the Biden administration … who then settle. This is an end run around the legislatures and a clear violation of our federal government's separation of powers, with judges usurping the legislature's lawmaking function. It is the judiciary's job to say what the law is - not what it should be. Then, Jacki talks with Chris Wright, CEO of Liberty Oilfield Services, a large hydraulic fracturing (“frac'ing”) company, whose ESG report is one of the few that properly gives credit to the oil and gas industry for lifting people all over the world out of poverty. Liberty's ESG report should be a model for all oil and gas companies. Finally, Jacki discusses cybersecurity with Morgan Luttrell, retired Navy SEAL who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Luttrell is running for Congress in Texas, and they talk about how hostile nations can mount a cyber corps to attack the vulnerable economic underbelly of the United States.

Popular and political discussions of the climate invariably invoke “The Science” as settled. But a careful reading of the research, literature, and government assessment reports shows a different picture. In this Federalist Society book event, Dr. Koonin will discuss his bestseller, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters. He will describe some of the surprises in the official science that he asserts belie the notion that the world has already broken the climate and faces certain doom unless we take prompt and drastic action. Dr. Koonin will also examine whether society's right to make fully informed decisions about climate and energy has been usurped in the assessment reports and media, and he will close with suggestions to improve the presentation of climate certainties and uncertainties to nonexperts. Finally, he will take audience questions. The event will be moderated by George Washington University Adjunct Professor of Economics Diana Furchtgott-Roth. Featuring: -- Dr. Steven E. Koonin, Author, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What it Doesn't, and Why it Matters; Professor, New York University -- Moderator: Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Adjunct Professor, George Washington University
Join Marty as he sits down with Dr. Steven Koonin, author of Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters, to discuss: - Looking into the climate data - What it tells us - How severe is climate change? - Why don't people actually look at the data? - Why has the narrative been pushed to the extreme? - much more Check out the book
More and more mainstream scientists are coming out saying that climate change is BS. After the last year, why should we believe anything "science" tells us?
Koonin is author of Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What it Doesn't, and Why It Matters. Koonin's WSJ non-fiction best-seller is one of a spate of books over the last year or so by Lomborg, Shellenburger, and Patrick Moore—all gold standard climate researchers—that argue that there is NO climate emergency, why this is so, and what little of the real science is actually settled at all. Koonin was Under Secretary for Science in the Dept of Energy in the Obama Administration, is a theoretical physicist, was Provost of CalTech, and has a prestigious scientific career.
On this week's COBT, we were very honored to be joined by Dr. Steven Koonin, author of a new book entitled "Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters." The title refers to the central thesis of the book... which is that in the rush to proclaim climate science definitive, we are glossing over and failing to speak honestly about so much that remains to be "settled." The book is a highly technical but also highly understandable tour of what we know, of the major studies that have been done by the UN, the US, and other bodies, of what the attempts at modeling the climate tell us and what the key assumptions really are. Along the way Dr. Koonin addresses many of the popular press-driven views on human-driven climate change and also offers his own thoughts about the right way forward. More than anything, he challenges us all to return to science and get away from "The Science"... his way of saying intellectual honesty and the pursuit of the truth must be made the primary goal. The stakes are high and we must stop the polarizing debate that's getting in the way of thoughtfulness as we approach all the choices before us.Dr. Koonin has an incredible background that has led him to write "Unsettled." A former Chief Scientist at BP from the "Beyond Petroleum" era, he served in the Obama Administration as the Undersecretary for Science in the Department of Energy. He is a graduate of both Caltech and MIT and today is a professor at NYU. The book has been a huge seller and it's clear that it has struck a chord with so many of us. TPH has purchased a very large order and will be making them available to guests at our upcoming "Hotter 'N Hell" energy conference in Houston on June 10th.We all read the book ahead of the discussion and wholeheartedly recommend it. It is very thought-provoking and does a great job laying out the complexity of the issues. We are most honored to have made a new friend in Dr. Koonin.We kicked off today with a quick discussion of the news and views of the last week. Mike Bradley touched on recent discussion around the JCPOA agreement and its effect on the market, Matt Portillo provided some background on TPH Research initiating coverage on Ford and GM, and finally Colin Fenton gave a brief market update and prepped us for the discussion with Dr. Koonin.Read "Unsettled" when you can. We learned a lot and had a ton of fun discussing it with Dr. Koonin!----------Copyright 2021, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.

Steven Koonin is a theoretical physicist who has had a long career in academia, business, and government. In this episode, Koonin talks with Robert about his new book, Unsettled, why he believes efforts to limit debate about climate science are “pernicious,” why he is concerned about the reliability of the electric grid, why he finds the “denier” term abhorrent, and why “we need slow, steady pressure” on our energy and power systems, “not crash decarbonization.”

Prominent politicians and the media have long stated that the science behind climate change is settled. However, in his new book “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters,” Obama administration scientist Dr. Steve Koonin dispels a number of misleading claims surrounding the climate change debate. On this episode, Dr. Koonin joins Dany and Marc to give his politics-free take. He reviews US government and UN climate assessments, explaining that the facts do not support climate change hysteria. While Dr. Koonin agrees that the climate is changing, he points out that the why and how are not as clear as you’ve likely been led to believe. And that the solutions being mooted won’t work. Dr. Koonin is a Professor at New York University, with appointments in the Stern School of Business, the Tandon School of Engineering, and the Department of Physics. Dr. Koonin served as Undersecretary for Science in the US Department of Energy under President Obama, where his portfolio included the climate research program and energy technology strategy. https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/5.12.21-Koonin-transcript.pdf (Download the transcript here.)
On this special edition of The Editors, Rich is joined by Steven Koonin to discuss his new book, 'Unsettled.'
Dr. Steven E. Koonin, former Undersecretary of Science in the US Department of Energy under President Obama, joins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss his new book, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters. In the new book, Dr. Koonin, currently a professor at NYU, explores the misconceptions about climate science that have come to dominate headlines. In the release, Koonin dispels popular myths, unveils little-known truths, and offers facts about climate science that you aren't getting elsewhere. Also, Koonin and Giordano discuss the idea of using climate as a vehicle to move forward political rhetoric and as a political tool.

Dr. Steven E. Koonin, an NYU professor who formerly served as the Department of Energy’s Undersecretary for Science during the Obama administration, talks about his new book, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters
In a new book out this month, author Steve E. Koonin argues that Earth’s climate is changing, but the scientific findings are more opaque than popular media often suggests. In his new book “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters,” the science policy expert argues that although climate is warming and humans are influencing it, many findings are more ambiguous than black-and-white public conversations on climate typically suggest. But why is that? Koonin focuses on the disconnect between researchers and popular media, which can cause inaccurate or uneven information to get through. It is the job of scientists, he argues, to make sure that the public is armed with the best information possible to understand our changing climate.

On this week's Power Hour, Alex Epstein interviews Steve Koonin, a highly accomplished physicist and author of the new bestselling book "Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't and Why It Matters" In 2014, Koonin, who had worked in the Obama administration, began to question climate catastrophism when he led a panel of physicists assessing the current state of climate science. In his new book he summarizes what he regards as the actual state of climate science--which does not support claims of climate catastrophe at all. In this interview, Koonin discusses: - His conclusion that "Humans exert a growing, but physically small, warming influence on the climate." - Why "The net economic impact of human-induced climate change will be minimal through at least the end of this century." - Why "Government and UN press releases and summaries do not accurately reflect" scientific research reports. - How the US National Climate Assessment manipulated data to create an extreme heat pattern in the US that doesn't exist. - Why "the working scientists are often embarrassed by the way the IPCC winds up describing the state of the science." - Why "many of the senior climate scientists think that by the time now we've gotten to the sixth [IPCC] assessment report, it's no longer the A team that is preparing the reports." - How Koonin's career has enabled him to do a deep dive both into climate science and into energy economics. - The private response Koonin has gotten from other scientists. - What Koonin thinks of Bill Gates's book ("I think Bill wrote a pretty good energy book...but I think Bill's discussion of the climate is wrong and I would relish the chance to point out to him at some point.") - Why Koonin is eager to debate any climate scientists who disagree with him.
In Episode 187 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Steven Koonin, author of “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters.” Dr. Koonin serves as Director of NYU's Center for Urban Science and Progress. He previously served as Undersecretary for Science in the U.S. Department of Energy under Barack Obama and as Chief Scientist at BP, where he was a strong advocate for research into renewable energies and alternative fuel sources. The science of climate change has become, like almost everything else, a matter of political identity in 21st century America. A recent Pew Research study found that Democrats are more than three times as likely as Republicans to say that dealing with climate change should be a top priority. And yet, if you ask people independent of party affiliation for their views on climate change and why they believe what they believe, most of them will struggle to give you a coherent answer. In fact, very few people, and this goes for politicians, journalists, and even academics, have actually read the reports put out by organizations like the IPCC and others responsible for doing the actual research that we all cite when we talk about “the science.” And to be honest, can you blame them? Afterall, why would anyone want to spend a minute of their time learning about exactly why we are so screwed? About how we’ve destroyed the planet and “broken the climate?” We’ve read all the headlines. “Climate Catastrophe.” “Climate Disaster.” “The earth is burning!” But how true is this, exactly? Are we really facing a “Climate Apocalypse?” Is climate science really “more reliable than physics,” something that journalist David Wallace-Wells said in a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Podcast. Not according to my guest, but more importantly, not according to the science, which, to borrow from the book’s title, is very much “Unsettled.” Before you react to that very provocative book title, you should know that no one is saying climate change is a hoax or that anthropogenic warming isn’t real. The purpose of this conversation is not to surreptitiously undermine the consensus view or to troll those who believe strongly in it. Rather, it is simply meant to help inform those of you who either haven’t read the reports or are simply skeptical about just how bad the situation is and what’s required from us in order to solve it. This is a subject that deeply concerns all of us, but the doom and gloom narrative surrounding it has arguably become counterproductive in helping us actually address the problem. Steven and Demetri spend two hours—between the first half and the overtime—working their way through the data, what it says, and what the models predict about not only future warming, but also the incidences of droughts, forest fires, hurricanes, rising sea levels, climate-induced migration, and pandemics driven by a warming planet. In the subscriber overtime, they focus most of their attention on the incentives that account for these widely divergent narratives on climate, the importance of morals and values in thinking about how to structure climate policy, and the missing components of costs and tradeoffs that we all need to think about when coming to decisions on how best to adapt our societies and ourselves to the changing climate. Kofinas and Koonin also discuss geoengineering, including carbon extraction and the use of aerosols to dampen the sun’s rays, as well as alternative sources of energy like wind, solar, and nuclear, and their respective roles as alternatives to fossil fuels in the coming decades.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.11.05.369512v1?rss=1 Authors: Mitrofanov, A., Alkhnbashi, O. S., Shmakov, S. A., Makarova, K. S., Koonin, E. V., Backofen, R. Abstract: CRISPR-Cas are adaptive immune systems that degrade foreign genetic elements in archaea and bacteria. In carrying out their immune functions, CRISPR-Cas systems heavily rely on RNA components. These CRISPR (cr) RNAs are repeat-spacer units that are produced by processing of pre-crRNA, the transcript of CRISPR arrays, and guide Cas protein(s) to the cognate invading nucleic acids, enabling their destruction. Several bioinformatics tools have been developed to detect CRISPR arrays based solely on DNA sequences, but all these tools employ the same strategy of looking for repetitive patterns, which might correspond to CRISPR array repeats. The identified patterns are evaluated using a fixed, built-in scoring function, and arrays exceeding a cut-off value are reported. Here, we instead introduce a data-driven approach that uses machine learning to detect and differentiate true CRISPR arrays from false ones based on several features. Our CRISPR detection tool, CRISPRIdentify, performs three steps: detection, feature extraction and classification based on manually curated sets of positive and negative examples of CRISPR arrays. The identified CRISPR arrays are then reported to the user accompanied by detailed annotation. We demonstrate that our approach identifies not only previously detected CRISPR arrays, but also CRISPR array candidates not detected by other tools. Compared to other methods, our tool has a drastically reduced false-positive rate. In contrast to the existing tools, our approach not only provides the user with the basic statistics on the identified CRISPR arrays but also produces a certainty score as a practical measure of the likelihood that a given genomic region is a CRISPR array.

In this podcast, returning guest and computational biologist and author Eugene V. Koonin and Richard examine intriguing angles of virus behavior. Dr. Koonin is a contributor to Richard's upcoming book on viruses, and Richard sees him as a cornerstone of his own biological knowledge. An expert on the origin and evolution of life, Dr. Koonin graces listeners with fascinating ideas, such as Where viruses sit in the continuum of the evolution of life on earth in relation to ancient replicons and the first cells, What his definition of a virus is and how that collides with the categories of living/nonliving, and How he describes the "sensing" abilities of viruses and explains virus competition and identity. Eugene V. Koonin is a senior investigator at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the National Library of Medicine, and the National Institute of Health. He's the author of several books, including Logic of Chance: The Nature and Origin of Biological Evolution. One of a series where Richard interviews contributors to an upcoming book, this conversation explores Dr. Koonin's early days of studying virology and how far science has since come in understanding the machinations involved. It was, in fact, his first studies on virus genomes and trying to decipher those codes that lead him into his present focus on computational biology. Richard steers him towards several important questions on the nature of viruses and this gives Dr. Koonin opportunities to speak on some of their most surprising characteristics. He asserts that viruses are an intrinsic part of the biological realm and have their own evolutionary fate or trajectory; in other words, they experience their own selective factors that in turn shape their evolution. In this sense, he adds, they are substantially independent from their host; however, they are also completely dependent on their host for energy production. Therefore, they have same characteristics of life and yet are missing others. It is the tension in this mix of evolutionary force and obligate nature that makes them worthy of such discussions. Listen in to enjoy this intelligent entry into virus behaviors.

Computational biologist and evolutionary genomics researcher Eugene Koonin touches on several timely topics about biology, evolution, and what computational biology can teach us. In this podcast, he discusses How the molecular clock works as a null hypothesis and enables deviation studies and a better understanding of functional and ecological changes, How comparative genomics provides specialized ways to understand similarities and differences and explains this in terms of coronaviruses, and What are the mechanics of evolution, theories of the beginnings of life, and the coevolution of viruses. Eugene V. Koonin is a Senior Investigator at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and an NIH Distinguished Investigator and works in evolutionary systems biology. This includes genomic comparative analysis of everything from the human genome to coronaviruses. He shares his vast knowledge with listeners and explains how the molecular clock functions in a computational role. He gives concrete ways this can be understood, such as comparing the same gene in an animal and a human genome. He explains the basics of comparative genomics, a key advancement of our era of biological evolution study, and how it allows for an alignment for scientists to maximize similarity comparisons. They can then compare nucleotide sequences directly with similar life forms and make conclusions about their relationships and functional predictions. He explains how this works using coronaviruses as an example: anything shared between highly virulent strains but is not present in milder strains gives researchers vital information. He also discusses various elements of evolution like punctuated evolution and the math of speciation. He also describes theories of the beginnings of life and Darwin's Last Universal Common Ancestor, or LUCA, as well as how the first genomes might have evolved from RNA and ribosomes that catalyzed various reactions including nucleotide polymerization. Finally, he addresses advancements in his field on the near horizon. For more, search for him in Google Scholar and see his NCBI web page: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/groups/koonin/.

As protests roiled Atlanta, thrusting the Southern capital back into the civil rights spotlight, Hawks CEO Steve Koonin had an idea -- turn his team's home into the largest polling station in the U.S. Now State Farm Arena may be the model for how the increasingly activist NBA can attack systemic racism, simply by making it easier and safer to vote. Koonin, a native Atlantan and former Coca-Cola and Turner executive, joins Jason Kelly and Mike Lynch for an exclusive conversation about his city's heritage, the power of players and teams, and the push to make Election Day a holiday, at least in the NBA.
The guys hit the Dawg Report We talked about the recent comments made by Matt Ryan in which he said that it’s not about the Bucs or the Saints but how the Falcons play which will determine their success. Atlanta Hawks CEO Steve Koonin joined Dukes & Bell for his weekly visit and talked about the relationship between the players and the league and how that helped with reaching an agreement to resume the season. Koonin talked about how good it is to have competition. “Each one of the sports has different relationships with their players, I happen to selfishly believe the NBA’s relationship is the best, and you can see that in the collaboration, cooperation.” Koonin said “It’s all on an individual basis but as long as people stay safe. I’ve got golf on in the background, I was watching it on another computer while doing three zoom calls yesterday, it’s just nice to have competition back in our lives.”

Atlanta Hawks CEO Steve Koonin joined Dukes & Bell to talk about the resuming of the NBA season, why they didn’t go straight to the playoffs, and can we do more as a society? Koonin talked about being able to make a difference in the world thru sports. “I’m blessed to be in an influential position, and I’m not going to be silent, I’m not going to be complicit.” Koonin said “It matters and we’re going to have to make change, we have to get people voting, you’ve got to inspire a generation to understand the sheriff’s race makes a difference, the district attorney’s race makes a difference.”
The guys hit the Falcons report. It was time for the “Strong Arm Story” Atlanta Hawks CEO Steve Koonin joined Dukes & Bell to talk about the resuming of the NBA season, why they didn’t go straight to the playoffs, and can we do more as a society?

On Tue.'s ep. of No Dunks, the guys discuss the Raptors attacking defense, Jamal Murray's dunk that wasn't, Hornets-Hawks, league's closing locker rooms over coronavirus concerns, and Koonin's plan to start the NBA season in December to help ratings. That, plus potential playoff matchups we'd like to see, and a debate about which surface is better to walk barefoot on: the beach or grass?
Scott Soshnick and Eben Novy-Williams discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the PGA Tour’s new media rights deals with NBC, CBS and ESPN, which will show events on its streaming service, ESPN+. Network coverage remains with CBS and NBC. The nine-year deal begins in 2022, and will pay the Tour about $7 billion, a hefty rights increase from its current agreement. Also talked about is the continuing effect of the coronavirus on sports. Most recently, the tennis tournament in Indian Wells, California, one of the sport’s biggest events outside of the four majors, was canceled because of the outbreak. Qualifying matches were scheduled to begin today. And also discussed is Atlanta Hawks Chief Executive Officer Steve Koonin’s suggestion that the league begin its season in December, two months later than it currently does. That way, Koonin said, the NBA wouldn’t compete for attention with the NFL.

The host dives into the Colin Karpernick controversy.
In this episode, we will be talking about the lack of care and medical resources for women, especially black women in low-income areas. In the United States, black women are 2 to 6 times more likely to die from complications of pregnancy than white women, depending on where they live (American Medical Association, 1999). Total maternal mortality rates ranged from 1.9 deaths per 100,000 in New Hampshire to 22.8 in the District of Columbia. When data from 1979 to 1992 were analyzed, the overall pregnancy-related mortality ratio was 25.1 deaths per 100,000 for black women, 10.3 for Hispanic women, and 6.0 for non-Hispanic white women (Hopkins et al., 1999). These rates have not improved between 1987 and 1996 (American Medical Association, 1999). The leading causes of maternal death are hemorrhage, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and embolism (Berg, Atrash, Koonin, & Tucker, 1996). Black and nonwhite women have almost 3 times the risk of death from hemorrhage than white women (Chichakli, Atrash, Mackay, Musani, & Berg, 1999). None of these authors can explain the racial differences in maternal mortality rates. However, “quality of prenatal delivery and postpartum care, as well as the interaction between health-seeking behaviors and satisfaction with care may explain part of this difference” (American Medical Association, 1999, p. 1221). The Center for Disease Control (1999), though, points to the fact that 50% of pregnancies are unplanned. These pregnancies are associated with increased mortality for the mother and infant. “Lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, drinking alcohol, unsafe sex practices, and poor nutrition) and inadequate intake of foods containing folic acid pose serious health hazards to the mother and fetus and are more common among women with unintended pregnancies” (Center for Disease Control, 1999, p. 849). In addition, the CDC estimates that half of the women that experience an unintended pregnancy do not seek prenatal care during the first trimester. To discover interventions that may diminish maternal mortality, 25 states have reestablished maternal mortality review committees to examine factors that may contribute to maternal deaths (American Medical Society, 1999). This is an ongoing epidemic that needs to end or else our whole African American race will eventually become extinct.

Touch HD — Ashley Koonin – Director of Rocker Distributors for Fentimens – a new range of tonics and mixers for gins
Steve Koonin became CEO of the Atlanta Hawks in April 2014. In his first full season, the Hawks led the NBA in attendance increase, setting franchise records for retail sales, sellouts and season ticket memberships, plus a 500% jump in season tickets. Steve’s late-day cold call to Coca-Cola’s marketing director in 1986 opened doors to 13 different positions in 14 years, including running Coke’s worldwide sports and entertainment marketing, and responsibilities that he never imagined. A call to a friend at Turner Broadcasting led to the top position at TNT for 14 years.

Steve Koonin is the president of Turner Entertainment Networks, where he oversees the programming, marketing, scheduling, strategy and operations for 4 of cable's strongest brands: TNT, TBS, truTV & Turner Classic Movies (TCM). Koonin came to Turner from The Coca-Cola Company in 2000 to head up TNT and recast the network as television's home for great drama, while launching one of the most popular cable series of all time, The Closer. His duties expanded to include TBS in 2003, paving the way for that station to become basic cable's #1 network with young adults and in 2010 he surprised the country when he closed the deal to bring Conan O'Brien to TBS late night. Along the way, TV Guide featured him in its "Power List" and Entertainment Weekly named Koonin one of the "Smartest People in Television."
Steven E. Koonin has served as chief scientist of BP, the world's second largest independent oil company, since 2004. As chief scientist, Koonin is responsible for BP's long-range technology plans and activities. (February 4, 2008)
