David Jones: Failure of experts | Tom Nelson Pod #241

Meteorologist David Jones has been forecasting & broadcasting weather for decades. His passion is communicating weather to decision-makers. For his dedicated service to media and emergency managers in British Columbia, he was awarded the Rube Hornstein Medal for excellence in operational meteorology in 2015.  A keen powder hound, Jones was the Environment Canada lead for a collaboration with Avalanche Canada to help avalanche forecasters better understand the mountain meteorology of British Columbia. Avalanche Canada and Parks Canada avalanche forecasters now leverage the insights of Canadian meteorologists through online weather briefings and a website (https://avalanche.ca/weather/forecast) fed by weather service graphics. For his team’s efforts, Avalanche Canada presented him with their 2015 Service Award. In retirement, Jones created The Whistler Powder Picker, a daily social media video for hounds. The Picker is a seriously fun and educational 90 second video packed with key information for hard-core skiers, riders, & sledders in the Sea-to-Sky Corridor. Jones uses an unusual ensemble technique – the Super Dave Ensemble - to crush snowfall forecasts while wearing funny hats and delivering a one-of-a-kind service. 00:00 Introduction to David Jones 00:01 David's Meteorological Journey 00:48 The Failure of Expertise 02:24 Climate Resilience and Health 04:19 Misconceptions About Severe Weather 04:32 Extreme Weather Events and Protocols 08:20 The Role of Communication in Meteorology 09:08 Challenges in Modern Meteorology 09:36 Fire Weather Forecasting 10:35 Heat Waves and Public Safety 11:19 Atmospheric Rivers and Communication Failures 16:18 The Impact of Government Interference 17:46 The Importance of Accurate Weather Alerts 19:46 The Role of Media in Weather Reporting 28:06 Historical Weather Events 33:53 Debunking Climate Models and Predictions 34:49 The Role of Professional Storytellers in Weather Reporting 35:41 Challenges of Being a Spokesperson 38:54 Critique of Canadian Weather Services 42:33 Personal Reflections on Climate Change and Meteorology 47:12 Heat Waves and Public Perception 48:21 The Complexity of Weather Forecasting 52:46 The Impact of Media on Weather Communication 01:01:05 Final Thoughts and Future Directions Substack: https://powderpicker.substack.com/ Also: https://climatepicker.substack.com/ X: https://x.com/powderpicker ========= AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89cj_OtPeenLkWMmdwcT8Dt0DGMb8RGR X: https://twitter.com/TomANelson Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about

Paul Burgess: Fighting for climate/energy rationality | Tom Nelson Pod #238

Paul Burgess B.Sc, MS.C, a retired Chartered Water Resources Engineer was in charge of water resource planning for large sections of the UK and sat on national UK committees. Before he retired he represented the whole of the country of Wales where he was  responsible for planning water supply, flood protection, reservoirs, hydrological and weather monitoring. He built the first mathematical model of the climate back in 1971. Retiring early from the water industry, Paul set up his own business. In the early 2000’s, Paul became aware of the growing corruption of science by the climate alarmists and then started making videos to counter the alarmism. He now has over 80 videos on the subject. He gives talks all over the UK all at his own expense in order to further the cause he feels so passionate about. 00:00 Introduction to Paul Burgess  01:01 Challenges in Communicating Climate Issues 01:51 Debate and Opposition 02:35 Freedom of Speech Concerns 04:41 Local Community Efforts 06:17 Advertising Roadblocks 07:32 Isle of Man Campaign 13:15 Media and Public Reactions 19:05 Debate with Green Party Leader 35:55 Scientific Explanations and Public Talks 42:31 Explaining Climate Science with Robots 43:03 Satellite Measurements and Greenhouse Effect 45:05 Debating Climate Change Policies 48:30 Public Interactions and Challenges 49:30 Confronting Climate Activists 52:41 Podcast Discussion on Climate Change 01:03:12 Final Thoughts and YouTube Channel Paul Burgess’ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ClimateRealism ========= AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89cj_OtPeenLkWMmdwcT8Dt0DGMb8RGR X: https://twitter.com/TomANelson Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about

Suresh Bansal: “Biogenic and abiotic hydrocarbons“ | Tom Nelson Pod #237

Suresh Bansal has spent ~40 years investigating the topic of biogenic vs abiotic oil. Some of his conclusions: 1. ~80% of current fossil fuel theory and ~80% of current abiotic oil theory is correct. 2. Both sides are ignoring the scientific evidence of the opposite side for the SAME oil deposits—the SAME oil deposit often contains a mixture of biogenic hydrocarbons and larger percentage of abiogenic hydrocarbons. 3. People sometimes use the term “organic” to refer to complex hydrocarbons, but the assumption that all complex hydrocarbons are biogenic isn’t true. 4. *Before* there was any life on Earth, a series of asteroid strikes created lots of abiotic hydrocarbons on Earth. 5. In conjunction with the series of asteroid strikes, a “gigafactory” involving lots of chemical reactions in the Earth’s atmosphere resulted in simple hydrocarbons being transformed into complex hydrocarbons which then rained down to the surface of the Earth. 6. A key compound in #5 may be tholin, a complex organic compound formed through the irradiation of simple organic molecules like methane and nitrogen, typically by ultraviolet light or cosmic rays. It's believed to be common in the outer solar system, particularly on bodies like Titan. 00:00 Introduction to the Podcast 01:43 Suresh Bansal's Background and Research 04:19 Debunking Biogenic Theory 10:18 Explaining Abiogenic Theory 14:06 Balanced Hypothesis and Giga Factory Explanation 22:50 Source Rock Misconceptions 26:56 Deep Drilling and Hydrocarbon Reserves 43:12 Challenges in Scientific Consensus 46:39 The Balanced Hypothesis: A New Perspective 48:45 Challenges and Debates in the Scientific Community 51:40 The Conspiracy Theory Behind Oil Prices 52:25 Russia's Deep Drilling and Scientific Papers 54:14 Coal and Methane: Organic vs. Abiotic Origins 59:55 Sedimentation Process and Hydrocarbon Formation 01:14:49 Revisiting Fossil Fuel Theory and Kerogen 01:29:46 Future Prospects: Titan and Asteroid Collisions 01:33:23 Final Thoughts and Future Plans Suresh’s email: deepthinkers7777@gmail.com https://x.com/sureshbansal342 ========= AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89cj_OtPeenLkWMmdwcT8Dt0DGMb8RGR X: https://x.com/TomANelson Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about

Javier Vinós: Tonga Volcano Caused Record Warming | Tom Nelson Pod #236

- Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. School of Medicine. Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain) - Postdoctoral researcher at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Department of Biology, University of California, San Diego (USA) - Associate Researcher at the Medical Research Center, Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge (UK) - Staff Researcher at the Spanish Council for Scientific Research - Topics of research: molecular genetics, neurobiology, and cancer - Over 1200 scientific citations - Currently unaffiliated with academic institutions The main points from the presentation are: 1. Any annual deviation from the long-term warming trend is due to natural variability. It cannot be due to human causes. 2. Years that are warmer than the long-term trend are eventually compensated by cooler years, so the long-term trend remains, but only the warmer years become newsworthy. 3. The 2023-2024 climate event cannot be reproduced by models because they are notoriously bad at reproducing natural variability, and the Hunga Tonga eruption is unprecedented, so its full effects are unknown. The effect of the eruption is uncharted territory, not the current climate situation. 4. Although 2023 and 2024 are natural deviations from the long-term trend, there is a concerted effort by the UN and some scientists to blame them on human emissions in order to advance the energy transition agenda. 5. After a series of years that are warmer than the long-term trend, we should have a series of years that are cooler than the long-term trend because the cause of global warming responsible for the trend has not been affected. So just waiting will fix the volcanic anomaly. 00:00 Introduction and Importance of Climate Events 00:47 Analyzing the 2023 Climate Event 01:37 Temperature Records and Trends 03:24 Ocean Temperature Anomalies 05:28 Unprecedented Warming and Scientific Puzzles 06:22 Potential Causes of Abrupt Warming 12:27 Volcanic Eruptions and Climate Impact 19:46 Natural Variability vs. Human Impact 25:20 Future Climate Predictions and Adaptation 35:42 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Vinos’ “Science and Climate” YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ScienceClimate-uf4xm More of Javier’s work on Andy May’s site: https://andymaypetrophysicist.com/ ========= AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89cj_OtPeenLkWMmdwcT8Dt0DGMb8RGR X: https://twitter.com/TomANelson Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about
