New technologies demand a better imagination. Old models will break, and new, unexpected, and wild ideas will replace them. In this episode, I dive into David Bennett's wild “Forest Walker” concept. Can Bitcoin mining actually tip the scales on ideas that couldn't breach the barrier into economic sustainability? Could a fleet of autonomous, Bitcoin-powered forest robots be the answer to catastrophic wildfires, or is it too much complexity in a world that needs simple solutions? Let's dig in and see if this crazy idea is really as far-fetched as it sounds—or if it's exactly the kind of out-of-the-box thinking Bitcoin was made for.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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

In this episode we discuss Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters by Steven E. Koonin. Next time we'll discuss The Revolt of the Masses by José Ortega y Gasset.
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.

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.)

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. Today on AirTalk, we’re talking with Steve Koonin about his new book “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters.” Questions? Give us a call at 866-893-5722. GUEST: Steve E. Koonin, professor at New York University and author of the new book, “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters” (BenBella Books, May 2021)
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.
