#49 Marc Morano: “bringing one party Chinese authoritarian rule to the once free west”
Marc Morano is the publisher of the award-winning ClimateDepot.com, a global warming and eco-news center founded in 2009. Morano was named one of only five “criminals against humanity, against planet Earth itself” in 2009 by the eco-magazine Grist.

#43 - Indur Goklany: “No empirical evidence that anything bad is happening b/c of climate change”
Dr. Indur M. Goklany, has 30-plus years in federal and state governments and the private sector, during which he has written more than one hundred monographs, book chapters, and papers on topics ranging from climate change, human well-being, economic development, technological change and biotechnology to sustainable development. He has been a visiting fellow with the American Enterprise Institute and was the first Julian Simon Fellow at the Political Economy Research Center in Bozeman, Montana. Working for the U.S. Department of the Interior, he has represented the United States at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and in the negotiations leading to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

#42 - Valentina Zharkova: “in next 30 yrs, global warming prob. will be last thing in our mind”
Graduated with first class with distinction degree in Applied Math from Kiev National University, Kiev, Ukraine (1975); did PhD in Astrophysics ‘Radiative transfer of solar prominences’ at Main Astronomical Observatory, Kiev, Ukraine, viva in 1984. Worked as Researcher/Lecturer/ Senior Lecturer at KNU (1975-1994). In 1992 moved to Glasgow University, UK as Senior Research Fellow to investigate energetic particles in solar flares. Discovered sunquakes induced by flaring processes, published a paper in Nature, 1998 with wide media coverage. In 2000 moved to Bradford University as Lecturer, then Reader (2002) and Professor of Applied Mathematics (2005). Joined Northumbria University in September 2013 as Professor of Mathematics. Taught the key Maths and Physics modules. Published more then 200 papers, from which 3 papers in Nature group journals (during work at NU), one of the papers was predicting the modern Grand Solar Minimum (2020-2053). Published a monograph on particle kinetics, was an Editor a book on automated recognition and classification of digital images and the RHESSI book on high energy particles. Also published 18 chapters in other books. Received funding from European Commission, EPSRC, STFC, the Royal society, the RAS and US Airforce. At NU was the MPEE department Lead in international affairs (2014-2016) and in Equality and Diversity (2018-2020).

#41 - John Droz: “Science is being very systematically and aggressively attacked”
John received undergraduate degrees in Physics and Mathematics from Boston College, and a graduate degree in Physics from Syracuse University. He subsequently worked for GE (Aerospace Electronics: Utica, NY), Mohawk Data Sciences (Herkimer, NY), and Monolithic Memories (Cupertino, CA).
After retiring at 34 (due to his successful investment program) he was actively involved in various community activities. In 1984 John and his wife Elaine bought a rental property in Emerald Isle, NC (sold in 2015). In 2009 they sold their primary residence in NY and moved to Morehead City, NC. Throughout this period they have kept a Summer Adirondack (NY) cottage.
As a resident of the Adirondacks, he has been a participating member of several environmental organizations (e.g., the Adirondack Council, Association for Protection of the Adirondacks, Residents’ Committee to Protect the Adirondacks, Sierra Club, NYS Federation of Lakes).
This led to a 40+ year commitment as a Science advocate. During the initial years John was a leading individual on three NY state-wide issues: electrical energy options, water extraction, and water quality. He received no funding for any of this activity. In subsequent years, his areas of interest and expertise expanded to include climate change, COVID-19, and election integrity.
John’s main focus is about implementing genuine science as the basis of our technical policies. Unbeknown to most, real Science is under an incessant assault by self-serving lobbyists (e.g., renewable energy lobbyists). His belief is that this undermining of Science (replacing it with political science) will have catastrophic effects on the success and security of our society.

#40 - Jim Steele: “Wrong analyses produce bad remedies”
Jim has a Master’s degree in ecology from San Francisco State University where he was appointed the Director of its Sierra Nevada Field Campus. He served in that capacity for 25 years, building its environmental education program and researching the effects of regional climate change on bird populations as part of the Sierra Nevada Neotropical Migratory Bird Riparian Habitat Monitoring project for the United States Forest Service. Jim’s research culminated in the successful restoration of the Carman Creek watershed and its wildlife. In addition to lecturing at the university, he also taught science at inner-city schools.
