![Award-winning physicist Will Happer on the Joe Rogan podcast today: "The theory that the [climate] control knob is CO2 doesn't work; it's completely clear. It doesn't work. ...Dick [Lindzen] would've made a lot more progress and his colleagues would've made a lot more progress if they hadn't been forced to deal with this CO2 cult."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1980701842926362950/amplify_video_thumb/1980701710327668736/img/KMsUpf5hu5Hr_ek-.jpg)

Tom Nelson Podcast #427: Jonathan Cohler: “ Fossil fuel combustion drove essentially none of the atmospheric CO2 growth” is now published. Jonathan Cohler 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 Claim 01:29 Three Inputs Setup 03:25 Isotope Signatures 101 06:05 Keeling Relation Explained 10:17 Datasets And Intercepts 13:38 Solving For Fossil Fraction 22:22 Why Fossil Dominance Fails 25:16 Rejecting The Conclusion 28:04 Carbon Cycle Turnover 31:45 What Drives CO2 Rise 33:56 Ancient CO2 And Whataboutism 36:53 CO2 Coalition Errors Teaser 37:38 Accounting vs Causation 39:23 Feynman on Conservation 40:37 What Proves Causality 41:37 Atmospheric Balance Equation 42:53 Coalition Paper Misreads 46:25 Molecules Not Labeled 48:08 Residuals Aren't Attribution 49:56 Isotopes Discriminate Sources 51:27 Airborne Fraction Fallacy 53:41 Retention and Cycle Time 56:02 Harassment and Resignation 01:03:18 CO2 Forcing and Policy Costs 01:08:51 X Feedback and Contact 01:13:38 Wrap Up and Links

.Sonia Elijah: "You have a very infamous study that was published in The Lancet, this is the main study on why Hydroxychloroquine is dangerous and it can cause heart attacks, cardiac arrests. And it was this study, it was based on 96,000 patients. So it had a huge data set. But this data set all came out of a small company, an unknown company from Chicago called Surgisphere. And it was proven that all the data was faked. So that study actually had to get withdrawn. But even though it was withdrawn, it was still pushed as hydroxychloroquine is dangerous."

.Jim Lakely: "The mandate of the IPCC was not to examine climate science. Its mandate from the very beginning was to figure out how much human activity is affecting the climate. That's a very big and important distinction. So from the beginning, the United Nations and the scientists they pulled together are not interested in pursuing open inquiry about climate science. They had already established a crime, that crime being human activity and the emission of CO2 is destroying the planet, and the mandate of the IPCC was basically to indict humanity for that crime. It's not to pursue science."

Award-winning physicist Will Happer: "Princeton has jumped into the climate religion with all of its resources. ...we covered once green fields of soybeans with solar panels. We'll regret it at some point, probably after I'm gone, but we've caused I think a lot of damage that future Princetonians will have to repair." Princeton University

MIT climate scientist (and former IPCC lead author) Dr. Richard Lindzen on peer review: "It's treated in the popular press as though it's a certification...No, it's a device to maintain groupthink. And in the case of climate, there will be gatekeepers; people who will reject anything."

Tom Nelson Podcast #392: Thomas Kurz: “Why There Is No Climate Crisis” is now published. 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 Intro 00:24 Why He Dug In 01:46 Focus On Climate Cycles 03:44 Paleoclimate Proxies 04:57 Isotopes And Temperature 06:48 Cosmic Rays And Solar 07:56 Milky Way Climate Cycle 12:17 Milankovitch Ice Ages 14:28 CO2 Follows Temperature 17:10 Holocene Cooling Trend 19:29 Schwabe Solar Cycles 21:42 Millennial Solar Cycles 23:14 Temperature Reconstructions 25:04 Glaciers Treelines Seas 28:44 Historical Freeze Evidence 32:27 Farming And Wildlife Clues 37:06 Warm Vs Cold Impacts 41:28 Storm Evidence In Proxies 44:44 Civilizations And Climate 45:48 Holocene Optimum Prosperity 47:42 2200 BC Collapse Event 48:18 Minoan Warm Period Boom 50:47 Greek Dark Ages Breakdown 52:53 Roman Warm Period Growth 54:23 Late Antique Cooling Plagues 56:50 Medieval Warm Period Golden Age 59:11 Little Ice Age Hardship 01:06:46 Witch Hunts Climate Blame 01:09:16 Modern Warming Attribution Debate 01:12:17 Ocean Oscillations AMO PDO 01:15:44 No Climate Crisis Wrap Up

.Matt Ridley: "The pandemic led me to wonder what other subjects scientists were being less than honest about, or were using motivated reasoning, where what really mattered to them was the grants they got rather than the truth they discovered. That has made me, I'm afraid, into something of a cynic, and I now look at a scientific paper and think, right well: A, does it add up? And B, hang on, what's the motive behind this research and have they really been fair in the way they've set around doing this experiment or making this recommendation?"

MIT climate scientist (and former IPCC lead author) Dr. Richard Lindzen: "Temperature's changing, climate is changing, man plays some role. There's not much disagreement. With the predictions of disaster that are not connected clearly to warming or to our activities or to anything else, and leaving people with the thought that if the first part is true, the second part must be true. And this is certainly not the case. And then to add insult to injury, to propose policies that would have nothing to do with any of it, but involved trillions of dollars and harm to many people, is I think crossing the line."
