Tom Nelson Yong Zhong: Basic Issues in the IPCC CO2 Narrative | Tom Nelson Pod #93
About Yong Zhong:
1) Originally trained as a physics teacher.
2) Taught thermodynamics for undergraduates at age of 21.
3) Got in 1991 from Monash University.
4) Made several original contributions to electron and nuclear spin resonance spectroscopy*.
5) Invited to write a chapter in a handbook for researchers in the field.
6) Irritated by the ABC’s interviews on climate change.
7) Started presenting talks on climate physics on Yong Tuition at Youtube in 2019.
*Resonant absorption and emission of microwave by electron and nuclear spins in the presence of magnetic field.
