Willie Soon: Bad Data: Are NASA, NOAA and EPA Violating the Data Quality Act? | Tom Nelson Pod #169

Dr. Willie Soon, an astrophysicist and geoscientist, is a leading authority on the relationship between solar phenomena and global climate. In this 32+ years of singular pursuit, he seeks to understand the Sun-Earth relations in terms of not only meteorology and climate, but also in terms of orbital dynamics of Sun-Earth-other planets interactions, magmatic (volcanoes) and tectonic (earthquakes) activities. His discoveries challenge computer modelers and advocates who consistently underestimate solar influences on cloud formation, ocean currents, and wind that cause climate to change. He has faced and risen above unethical and often libelous attacks on his research and his character, becoming one of the world's most respected and influential voices for climate realism. In 2018, he founded the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES-science.com) in order to tackle a wider range of issues and topics without fears nor prejudices. — Slides for this podcast: https://tomn.substack.com/p/bad-data-are-nasa-noaa-epa-and-ipcc Willie Soon on my podcast #29: “This CO2 stuff is...pure delusion”: https://youtu.be/SWox_kECjfM?si=iVOqBumAgq01sEbG Willie Soon on my podcast #79: “Global warming: Mostly human-caused or natural?” https://youtu.be/djvfutJWRhY?si=Ad9JBbJocaXsU2mL Soon/Connollys: Challenges of the detection and attribution of global warming | Tom Nelson Pod #153: https://youtu.be/yu_7lbXD3e0?si=ABsbrUwOpgZzJmOY 00:00 Introduction and Presentation Overview 00:25 Understanding the Climate Narrative 00:59 The Role of NASA, NOAA, EPA, and IPCC 03:11 The Importance of Data Quality and Compliance 04:59 The Problem with Current Climate Models 12:42 The Impact of Urbanization on Climate Data 22:46 The Inconsistencies in NOAA's Adjustments 24:26 Comparing Urban and Rural Climate Data 25:39 Understanding Rural Record and Sea Surface Temperature 26:01 Attribution Cost and Climate Change Causes 26:33 The Role of the Sun in Climate Change 26:41 The Impact of Volcanoes on Climate 27:48 The Influence of Solar Energy on Climate 28:32 The Underestimated Role of the Sun 28:46 The Dynamic Nature of Solar Energy 29:32 The History of Solar Activity 30:22 The Influence of Solar Activity on Climate 31:00 The Consequences of Misinterpretation of Data 35:21 Conclusion and Final Thoughts CERES news: https://www.ceres-science.com/news Please help support independent science by donating to CERES-science.com: https://www.ceres-science.com/support-us https://globalwarmingsolved.com/ ========= About Tom Nelson: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89cj_OtPeenLkWMmdwcT8Dt0DGMb8RGR Twitter: https://twitter.com/tan123 Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about
