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.

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
