Tom Shula and Markus Ott : The “Missing Link” in the Greenhouse Effect | Tom Nelson Pod #232
About Tom Shula:
• Academic training in theoretical physics. Disillusioned with the
community and left with a M.S. to work in tech industry.
• Primary work in semiconductor and disk drive component and system
development and manufacturing.
• Brief diversions into other industries including steel mills, refining,
food processing, and waste treatment.
• Exposed to a broad range of fluid dynamic systems with pressures
ranging from kpsi to 10-12 Torr, and temperatures from 77K (liquid
nitrogen) to >1000C
• I have been extremely curious from an early age, and was considered
a top problem solver in my professional technical career
• I’ve been following the “climate change issue since the “global
cooling” scare of the 1970s. More intently since 2009.
Markus Ott, a chemist with a PhD, has been working as a researcher and developer in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry since 1994. He has mainly worked on the development of photolithographic methods for the production of biochips and on the development of light-curing plastics. In addition to the theoretical basics, he has the necessary practical experience to assess the interaction of light with matter. As an enthusiastic aviator, he is deeply interested in the processes in the atmosphere since his youth. The present text "Dismantling The CO2-Hoax" or the German version "Demomtage des CO2-Betruges" were written from the practitioner ́s perspective who has to deliver reliable products and cannot hide behind computer models.

Vladislav Bogorov: When History Had Other Plans | Tom Nelson Pod #231
Vladislav Bogorov was drafted in the Bulgarian Army and had to serve as a tankman on a Soviet T-55, upon his discharge being promoted to a Junior lieutenant. Having practiced as a lawyer for 17 years, he is probably the only certified welder who has won four cases before the European Court of Human Rights. (The cases are published on the website of the Court.) Vladislav has an MSc in Law from Sofia University and an MSc in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies from the University of Glasgow. He has published 324 articles in different Bulgarian newspapers, among these the biggest ones in the country. Vladislav promoted himself as a lawyer and as an author which resulted in 44 articles in the Bulgarian press published about him. Having been born in Bulgaria, he now resides in Scotland and is a British citizen. Vladislav speaks Bulgarian, English, and Russian.

Alexander Pohl: The Green Industrial Complex | Tom Nelson Pod #229
Former London banker Alexander Pohl worked for years for one of the world’s greenest banks. Idealistically driven, he financed big wind and solar farms, genuinely convinced he was making the world a better place.
Gradually, he woke up to the fact that today’s green is a broken system. He gave up banking and emigrated with his family to his little forest paradise in remote, northern Sweden. The dream was to get back to Nature, start an eco-farm and put as much distance as he could between his family and the industrialization of nature.
Until a wind park was planned at the gates of his paradise garden.
