#29 - Willie Soon: “This CO2 stuff is…pure delusion. You cannot find any signature of that.”
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.
Dr. Soon was an astrophysicist at the Solar, Stellar and Planetary Sciences Division of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, from 1991-2022. He served as receiving editor for New Astronomy from 2002-2016, astronomer at the Mount Wilson Observatory from 1992-2009. He is also on the editorial board of Geoscience, an MDPI publication since 2020 as well as serving as Review Editor of Frontiers in Earth Science starting 2022. Dr. Soon has also held the role of visiting professors at various institutions including University of Putra, Malaysia, Institute of Earth Environment of Xian, China and State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science at Xiamen University. Since September 2021, Dr. Soon is also affiliated with Hungary’s Institute of Earth Physics and Space Science.
Dr. Soon earned bachelor's and master's degrees in science and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the University of Southern California.
"The whole point of science is to question accepted dogmas. For that reason, I respect Willie Soon as a good scientist and a courageous citizen.’’ — Freeman Dyson in the Boston Globe, November 5, 2013

#28 - Gregory Wrightstone: Celebrate the BENEFITS of modest warming & increased CO2!
Gregory Wrightstone is a geologist (BS and MS in Geology), bestselling author (Inconvenient Facts), and an Expert Reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (AR6).
His science and fact-based approach exposes many of the alarmist myths concerning our changing climate. Gregory is a strong proponent of the scientific process and believes that policy decisions should be driven by science, facts and data, not a political agenda. In addition, he believes that we should use all of the Earth's resources for the betterment of mankind and do it as good stewards.

#25 - Michelle Stirling on going viral pushing back against fake science and fake consensus
Michelle Stirling is the Communications Manager for Friends of Science Society. She has worked in marketing communications, advertising and film/video production most of her career. In 2005, she worked for a time at Alberta Environment as an Information Coordinator, the year that the Sierra Club gave Alberta an "F"...and Ontario a "B+". That jump-started her interested in climate change policies. Michelle was an op-ed writer for the Red Deer Advocate for several years, and has contributed articles to the Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, Troy Media and Medium. Several of her papers on 'consensus' thinking posted on the Social Science Research Network (SSRN) are in the top 10% of downloads. She is a member of the Canadian Association of Journalists and AAAS.

#24 - IPCC expert reviewer Kenneth P. Green on the IPCC and the climate "socialist amoeba"
Kenneth P. Green is a Fraser Institute senior fellow and author of over 800 essays and articles on public policy, published by think tanks, major newspapers, and technical and trade journals in North America. Mr. Green holds a doctoral degree in environmental science and engineering from UCLA, a master’s degree in molecular genetics from San Diego State University, and a bachelors degree in general biology from UCLA.
Mr. Green’s policy analysis has centered on evaluating the pros and cons of government management of environmental, health, and safety risk. More often than not, his research has shown that governments are poor managers of risk, promulgating policies that often do more harm than good both socially and individually, are wasteful of limited regulatory resources, often benefit special interests (in government and industry) at the expense of the general public, and are almost universally violative of individual rights and personal autonomy. Mr. Green has also focused on government’s misuse of probabilistic risk models in the defining and regulating of EHS risks, ranging from air pollution to chemical exposure, to climate change, and most recently, to biological threats such as COVID-19.
Mr. Green's longer publications include two supplementary text books on environmental science issues, numerous studies of environment, health, and safety policies and regulations across North America, as well as a broad range of derivative articles and opinion columns. Mr. Green has appeared frequently in major media and has testified before legislative bodies in both the United States and Canada.
