Andy May: “Suppression of Science and Inconvenient Truths” | Tom Nelson Pod #251
Andy May is a writer.
He is a retired petrophysicist and has published four books. He worked on oil, gas and CO2 fields in the USA, Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, China, UK North Sea, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and Russia. He specialized in shale petrophysics, fractured reservoirs, wireline and core image interpretation and capillary pressure analysis, besides conventional log analysis.
In this episode, climate science writer Andy May highlights his criticisms of mainstream climate change consensus and the suppression of non-consensus ideas. May discusses historical and recent examples of censorship in scientific publishing, arguing that peer review is broken and that important dissenting voices are often silenced. He concludes with skepticism about the effectiveness of the IPCC and COP meetings, emphasizing the need for open scientific discourse free from political influence.

Joel Gilbert: The Climate According To AI Al Gore | Tom Nelson Pod #248
Joel Gilbert, a filmmaker and political commentator, discusses his film 'The Climate According to A.I. Al Gore.' He delves into Al Gore's complex relationship with climate scientist Roger Revelle and critiques Gore's claims, raising questions about the authenticity of his environmental advocacy. Gilbert highlights the influence of financial ties on climate narratives and challenges mainstream science, particularly regarding carbon's role in global warming. The conversation also touches on historical political motivations and the evolving landscape of climate advocacy.

Steven Koonin and Efrat Fenigson: Climate Realism: A Sane Approach | Tom Nelson Pod #247
Prof. Koonin is an American theoretical physicist and former director of the Center for Urban Science and Progress at NYU, as well as a professor in the Department of Civil and Urban Engineering at NYU School of Engineering. In the past he was the Chief Scientist of BP’s oil and gas division, served as Under Secretary for Science in the Department of Energy, in the Obama administration, and was the vice-president of Caltech, one of the most prestigious scientific institutes in the world.
Steven is the author of the book “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn’t, and Why It Matters”, where he argues that while there are some basic facts about climate change that experts agree upon, the meaning of those facts is not so settled, and mainstream scientific studies do not support the notion that there is any kind of climate crisis at all.
From Efrat Fenigson: “I cover politics, health, climate, money, economics & bitcoin, propaganda, and more. From time to time I cover the state of affairs in Israel, the broader picture of global events, and our role as sovereign citizens.”
This conversation discusses Climate Realism - the sane approach to the “Climate Change” alarmism, and the role of media in shaping public perception. We touched on topics such as the use of the term 'climate denier,' bias in the energy industry, the challenges faced by young scientists who question the climate narrative, the role of journalists in spreading misinformation, and the influence of organizations like the UN and Covering Climate Now. We talked about the viral documentary 'Climate the Movie' and censorship attempts. Lastly we touched on the funding dynamic in climate research, and geoengineering / chemtrails. Steven emphasizes the need for open scientific discussion and the importance of prudence in considering these interventions. We end with the challenges & optimism in maintaining integrity and truth-telling in a corrupted world.
