#58 Gerald Pollack: “Electrical charge is absolutely central to all of weather"
Gerald Pollack received his PhD in biomedical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. He then joined the University of Washington faculty and is now professor of Bioengineering. He is also Founding Editor-in-Chief of the journal, WATER, convener of the Annual Conference on the Physics, Chemistry and Biology of Water, and Executive Director of the Institute for Venture Science.
His interests have ranged broadly, from biological motion and cell biology to the interaction of biological surfaces with aqueous solutions. His 1990 book, Muscles and Molecules: Uncovering the Principles of Biological Motion, won an “Excellence Award” from the Society for Technical Communication. His 2001 book, Cells, Gels and the Engines of Life, and his newest book, The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor won that Society’s “Distinguished Award,” their highest distinction. The latter book went on to receive the World Summit Excellence Award.
The underlying background appears in my book, "The Fourth Phase of Water", which has become popular: http://www.amazon.com/The-Fourth-Phase-Water-Beyond/product-reviews/0962689548 . Details of the application to weather will appear in my forthcoming book, to be published ~mid 2023. -- "Charged: The Unsuspected Role of Electricity in the Workings of Nature"

#55 Terry Gannon: Keeping science unsettled
About Terry Gannon: “I have a PhD in Device Physics in Semiconductors. It actually turns out to be a combination of technical abilities that serves well the study of climate. Quantum mechanics, optical physics, computer modelling, complex systems and analysis. It has served me well in my education on climate science of what we know and do not know.”

#54 Jerome Corsi on abiotic oil
Dr. Corsi received his Ph.D. from Harvard University’s Department of Government in 1972, when he was 20 years old. From 1972-to 1982, he worked as a university professor, with his final faculty appointment at the University of Denver. There, Dr. Corsi conducted a National Science Foundation randomized field test proving telephone hearings met due process standards in unemployment and welfare fair hearings. He also published game-theoretic articles in scientific journals and received a national security clearance to work with the U.S. State Department on terrorism. For the next 25 years, Dr. Corsi worked in financial services, where he created two bank marketing companies that each reached sales totals of $1 billion a year in annuities and $1 billion in mutual funds. Since 2004, Dr. Corsi has written 30 books on politics and economics, two of which were #1 New York Times bestsellers. He has retired from active involvement in day-to-day politics to devote more time to writing. He is also currently working with his wife, Monica Corsi, to create HablaConUnMD.com, a telemedicine Internet company providing Spanish-speaking medical doctors to conference remotely with Spanish-speaking patients.
Author of the 2022 book: The Truth About Energy, Global Warming and Climate Change: Exposing Climate Lies in an Age of Disinformation."

Corsi mentions Thomas Gold’s "The Deep Hot Biosphere: The Myth Of Fossil Fuels". Foreword by Freeman Dyson.

#53 William M. Briggs on fixing broken science
About William M. Briggs:
====
I am a wholly independent vagabond writer, statistician, scientist and consultant. Previously a Professor at the Cornell Medical School, a Statistician at DoubleClick in its infancy, a Meteorologist with the National Weather Service, and a sort of Cryptologist with the US Air Force (the only title I ever cared for was Staff Sergeant Briggs).
My PhD is in Mathematical Statistics, though I am now a Data Philosopher (I made that up), Epistemologist, Probability Puzzler, Unmasker of Over-Certainty, and (self-awarded) Bioethicist. My MS is in Atmospheric Physics, and Bachelors is in Meteorology & Math.

#50 Kevin Kirchman: Challenging greenhouse gas theory
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).
These theories were confirmed as an emerging science of epistemology by demonstration as the basis commercial artificial intelligence software for natural language reasoning, sold to businesses such as P&G, Litton Aerospace, and Baxter Healthcare, in a company he founded that was subject to an acquisition offer by a G200 firm. This technology was the first in the world to deliver direct answers to live questions from unstructured, random text from the internet.
Mr. Kirchman has been an entrepreneur for 30+ years, is a non-fiction author and speaker, with degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering (Cornell) and computer science, and was a graduate student at the London School of Economics in philosophy of science, before withdrawing to found his software firm. He has written many articles at the request of leading magazines and newspapers, and two books, and is preparing his third, “If Earth Warms 1°, Let It Cool 30 Minutes”.
Regarding his climate science papers,
“...seems to be path-breaking research in the domain. The paper reads nice and the science involved is analogous and clear. This paper is a hallmark and would benefit the advances in science, government planning as well as policy makers for the next course of action. I congratulate you for this great work and thank for giving me an opportunity to read it and enlighten myself.”
PhD, Atmospheric Science and Meteorology, IISc M.Sc., Geophysics, ISC, BSc., (Hons) Physics, Delhi U
“You have found a promising approach to demonstrate successfully that the long-suspected culprits of global warming, e.g., CO2, CH4, are actually not!"
