Errata: About 38:20, Shula mistakenly said "speed of light" when he meant "speed of sound". About Tom Shula: • Academic training in theoretical physics. Disillusioned with the community and left with a M.S. to work in tech industry. • Primary work in semiconductor and disk drive component and system development and manufacturing. • Brief diversions into other industries including steel mills, refining, food processing, and waste treatment. • Exposed to a broad range of fluid dynamic systems with pressures ranging from kpsi to 10-12 Torr, and temperatures from 77K (liquid nitrogen) to >1000C • I have been extremely curious from an early age, and was considered a top problem solver in my professional technical career • I’ve been following the “climate change issue since the “global cooling” scare of the 1970s. More intently since 2009.

Professor David Dilley is a Meteorologist-Climatologist-Paleoclimatologist and a former NOAA National Weather Service Meteorologist.  Professor Dilley is the founder and CEO of Global Weather Oscillations (GWO), a company heavily involved in research and development of technology for prediction of natural climate and weather cycles. Professor Dilley has 54 years of experience ranging from the Air Force to NOAA National Weather Service and GWO.  As the senior research scientist and forecaster for GWO, Mr. Dilley developed ClimatePulse Technology based on Geomagnetic Cycles of the earth-moon-and sun, and how these cycles align with historical, present day and future cycles of climate and weather.

I have a Bsc in Physics and a PhD in High Energy Physics and have worked as a research fellow at CERN for 3 years, Rutherford Lab for 2 years and the JET Nuclear Fusion experiment for 5 years. Thereafter I worked at the Joint Research Centre in Italy until April 2008 working on Nuclear safety. Remote Sensing, and web technologies. I led the team developing media monitoring software  for the EU which summarised daily reports.  This then led on to a health threat monitoring  system tracking Avian Flu. We developed this further to monitor any unusual health scare in multiple languages including Chinese. It was then a successful commercial spin off until  2010 and would surely have detected Covid early in  2019. I was  seconded to the African Union in Addis Ababa from  Nov 2007 until March 2008. I originally started this blog to record my experiences in Ethiopia. It started out as a travel blog, but has now morphed mainly into a science blog on climate. All results, views, opinions and errors are entirely my own fault and in no way reflect any stance of any previous employer. I became interested in understanding the physics behind climate change after getting fed up with being told that the debate is over. Science is never a closed book and has a habit of turning round and biting those who think so.  This  explains why the blog now focuses on climate science. I am basically a scientific sceptic but with a deep interest in other opinions and cultures. 00:00 Introduction 02:01 Nuclear fusion 04:33 Calculating Earth's temperature 04:58 Moon affects the climate? 06:55 Main presentation starts 07:09 Politicized science 07:59 Earth's atmosphere is unique because of life 09:10 Greenhouse effect is very complicated 12:51 Temperature dependence on CO2 14:00 Clouds as negative feedback 14:20 Measuring Earth's temperature 15:40 Getting rid of the hiatus 17:03 Homogenization 18:39 Best's own global temperatute "anomalies" 20:33 "Incredible" disagreement about Earth's temperature 23:09 IPCC scaremongering 25:19 Another ice age would be devastating 30:04 Britain's climate change act 31:49 The future must be nuclear 33:36 Conclusion 36:10 Little Ice Age:A sort of failed glaciation? https://twitter.com/clivehbest https://clivebest.com/blog/ Slides for this presentation: https://tomn.substack.com/p/long-term-future-of-humanity David MacKay - final interview and tribute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCyidsxIDtQ  —— https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 Tom Nelson's Twitter: https://twitter.com/tan123 Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomnelson.blogspot.com/2022/03/about-me-tom-nelson.html Notes for climate skeptics: https://tomn.substack.com/p/notes-for-climate-skeptics ClimateGate emails: https://tomnelson.blogspot.com/p/climategate_05.html
