Judith Curry on climate science and her new book
Dr. Judith Curry is President and co-founder of CFAN. Following an influential career in academic research and administration, Curry founded CFAN to support the management of weather and climate risk. She is Professor Emerita at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she served as Chair of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences for 13 years. Curry is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Geophysical Union. She is frequently called upon to give Congressional testimony and serve as an expert witness on matters related to weather and climate.

John McLean: Putting the IPCC in Context | Tom Nelson Podcast #76
My full time occupation is in Information Technology but it brings the following skills
* the ability to read and process digital data (and there's plenty of that in climate research)
* the ability to analyse data
* skills in logical thinking
Compare those skills to the skills(?) that some other voices on climate have, like biologist or politician, and to Phil Jones, head of the UK's Climatic Research Unit, who was ranked as one of the UK's top 100 scientists in 2010, but admitted in a Climategate email that he had no idea how to use Excel to calculate a trend.

Climate Brawl III: Gerald Kutney vs Dale Johnson | Tom Nelson Podcast #75
Gerald Kutney (@geraldkutney) is a professor, journalist/speaker, author and founder/consultant of 6esm, a C-level consulting firm focused on the bio-economy, renewable energy and the politics of the Kyoto Protocol and others like it.
Gerald’s a frequent contributor to the HuffingtonPost, Canada’s National Observer and is the author of the peer-reviewed: Carbon Politics and the Failure of the Kyoto Protocol – in search for an answer to the failure of the international community to act on climate change.
Dale Johnson: Former alarmist (cooling world 1970s) Ozone (1980s) global warming (2000s)
I read the first batch of leaked emails 2009 just out of curiousity, reading the first 100 changed my alarmism into skepticism. I did read them all but just absorbed the information and started to post a few things on Twitter about it but kept getting banned. I used one ban from Twitter to take 4-5 months to read everything in ClimateGate 2.0 including Harry Read Me file, then started a new account and had a good friend that I met in the Philippine (graphics art background) team up with me and we become Dawn.
She's being stalked for our views so she can't post personal pics.
My background - high school (accounting) college (accounting) but dropped out; numbers were boring. I worked for Northern Telecom for a decade (world's top 3 telecom manufacturer - PBX, cell site equipment etc, several years quality control and ISO900 auditor for one line of cell site equipment. Other job opportunities since then included long haul truck driver (Canada - USA) Public works foreman (small municipal government in Alberta) water and waste water certified, current occupation professional driver for a local tourist related company.

Einar R. Bordewich: “The green industry wants the $ from the oil industry” | Tom Nelson Pod #73
I am a multidisciplinary engineer within electrical engineering, electronics/IT and construction. Also has a study in physics and astronomy at the University of Tromsø.
Knowledge and rational thinking are the basis for understanding what is actually going on. By not accepting anything, but verifying everything - or at least checking out - when I find strange claims.

Critical Sway: A criminal investigator’s perspective on the climate scam. #69
"I’ve hung out with money launderers in luxury apartments and met drug dealers in grimy hotel rooms.
I've been a criminal investigator and survived the high-stakes world of covert intelligence operations.
Sitting in boardrooms with corporate executives, breaking bread with organised crime bosses, and briefing high-ranking officials...
My whole professional life has been a search for the truth.
I used to generate intelligence for the government.
Now I generate intelligence for the people."

#68 Dr Matthew M. Wielicki: A climate realist in academia
Dr. Matthew M Wielicki is a research assistant professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Alabama.
Prior to his work at the University of Alabama, he was a post-doctoral research scientist in the Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences and the Institute for Planets and Exoplanets at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Dr. Wielicki's research interests include conditions of early Earth during the initiation of life, constraining the amount of continental lithosphere through time; understanding the flux and timing of asteroids impacting the Earth-Moon system and the association with major extinction events;
medical mineralogy and the evolution of the Himalaya and the Tibetan Plateau.
Dr. Wielicki also enjoys musing about climate on social media.
