Rodney completed a BSc in Physics from the University of New Brunswick and subsequently worked as a research assistant for UNB in a CO2 laser lab before attending University of Toronto on an NSERC scholarship where he completed an MASc in electrical engineering.  His graduate work was modeling and simulation of a semiconductor device-physics industrial problem, a solution he later presented at an international modeling and simulation conference in Pittsburg.  He has spent over 35 years working in industry in telecom chip design, fiber-optics, computing, and LED lighting.   He was involved in modeling and simulation activity for some of the projects he worked on including writing an Excel-based simulator 15 years ago to solve a complex electrical network problem.   In 2022, Rodney took on a personal challenge to see if he could calculate the temperature rise for an increase in GHGs.   His interest became an obsession which led to his development of a comprehensive tool he calls GHG Lab that implements his understanding of the GHG physics and a website called Climate Bell to share it with others.   Now, anyone even without any physics understanding, can use his GHG Lab tool to compute Earth’s temperature change from a change in GHG levels.  The tool has produced interesting and good-news results that he wishes to share with threatened industries so they can defend their interests against unnecessary climate-change mandates.  He has also setup an open peer review forum so scientists can publicly comment too. 00:00 Meet Rodney McInnis: A Journey from Physics to Climate Modeling 00:40 Introducing Climate Bell: A New Approach to Greenhouse Gas Modeling 01:31 The Science and Skepticism Behind Climate Bell 01:58 GHG Lab: A Revolutionary Tool for Climate Analysis 03:02 Shifting Perspectives on Climate Change Over 25 Years 03:25 The Making of GHG Lab: From Inspiration to Innovation 04:28 Demystifying the Greenhouse Gas Effect: A Deep Dive 06:04 Puzzle Pieces of Climate Modeling: Building a New Framework 36:13 GHG Lab in Action: Demonstrating Precision in Climate Modeling 41:28 Debunking Climate Change Myths with GHG Lab 42:00 Exploring the Impact of Methane and Nitrous Oxide 42:43 The Complexities of the Water Cycle and Climate Modeling 46:40 Live Demo of GHG Lab: A Deep Dive 51:00 Addressing Climate Change Industry Flaws 52:39 Revisiting Venus: A New Perspective on Greenhouse Effects 56:32 Engaging with the Community: Peer Review and Educational Tools 58:33 Debunking Popular Climate Change Alarms 01:00:50 GHG Lab: A Tool for Change and Education 01:03:16 Final Thoughts and Call to Action Slides for this podcast: https://tomn.substack.com/p/a-novel-engineering-approach-to-precision Climate Bell’s learning center:  https://www.climatebell.org/learn.html Download GHG Lab:  https://www.climatebell.org/calculator.html Climate Bell’s peer review forum:  https://climatebell.createaforum.com/index.php X: https://twitter.com/ClimateBell ========= AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries About Tom Nelson: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89cj_OtPeenLkWMmdwcT8Dt0DGMb8RGR X: https://twitter.com/TomANelson Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about

Kevin Kirchman is editor of the Climate Science Journal, which he founded in 2017. He developed a broad-based new epistemological view (theory of knowledge), including new theories of deduction (the first since Aristotle), validation (a much-improved scientific method), induction (how we form ideas, or the basis of a science of innovation), lexicology (meaning), and symbolic representation (grammar). 00:00 Introduction: Challenging the Greenhouse Gas Theory 00:40 Exploring the Scientific Inconsistencies of Greenhouse Gas Theory 02:51 The Role of CO2 in Earth's Energy Spectrum 03:57 Revisiting Fundamental Physics: From Newton to Einstein 04:11 Empirical Evidence Against the Greenhouse Gas Theory 10:41 Thermodynamics and the Earth's Temperature 13:53 The Moon Made of Green Cheese: A Lesson in Epistemology 14:28 Applying a New Theory of Validation to Climate Science 20:58 The Effective Temperature Argument and Its Flaws 25:20 Challenging Prevailing Climate Science Theories 28:33 The Misinterpretation of CO2's Role in Climate 35:44 Concluding Thoughts and the Importance of Scientific Integrity 40:18 Q&A: Addressing Other Theories and the Future of Climate Science Slides for this podcast: https://tomn.substack.com/p/why-the-greenhouse-gas-theory-is https://twitter.com/ClimSciJournal https://www.climatesciencejournal.com/ ========= AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries About Tom Nelson: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89cj_OtPeenLkWMmdwcT8Dt0DGMb8RGR Twitter: https://twitter.com/TomANelson Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about
