David Brett: “Ecofascism” | Tom Nelson Pod #381

David Brett, founder of The New Westminster Times, discusses a talk he gave on “eco fascism,” which he says originated with Greenpeace founders. Citing Patrick Moore’s book and his work at Green Spirit Strategies, he argues environmental activism is “90% communications,” using media “mind bombs” (dramatic imagery, celebrities, and litigation) to shape public opinion against mining, oil, forestry, and pipelines. He says Moore, a Greenpeace co-founder, has been “airbrushed” and smeared as disinformation. Brett critiques films like Anthropocene, “Sue Big Oil,” climate-emergency messaging, Greta Thunberg rallies, and NGO “youth washing,” and says activists link climate to Indigenous grievance. He urges industry to invest in human-interest counter-messaging and local civic pushback.

Robert Cutler: “A 3560-Year Jovian Solar and Climate Cycle” | Tom Nelson Pod #380

Robert Cutler: “A 3560-Year Jovian Solar and Climate Cycle” | Tom Nelson Pod #380

Robert Cutler argues that climate patterns repeat about every 3,560 years (and 7,120), based on shifting proxy reconstructions—especially high‑resolution Greenland ice cores—and confirming with correlation analysis across Greenland cores, an Antarctic core, and lake sediment records from China and Alaska. He notes phase inversions possibly tied to ~2,400‑year Bray and Bond cycles and highlights alignments among events like the Younger Dryas, the 8.2 ka and 4.7 ka events, and the Dark Ages cold period. Cutler connects 3,560 to harmonics/subharmonics of Jovian-planet conjunction timing, the Jose cycle, and other periodicities (e.g., ~1,850 and ~890 years), suggesting strong non-subtle forcing possibly involving solar activity.

Randall Bock: “Autism Dissent” | Tom Nelson Pod #379

Randall Bock: “Autism Dissent” | Tom Nelson Pod #379

Randall Bock, a primary care physician and writer, discusses science as both knowledge and method, warning that post-COVID dissent can harden into new dogma. He argues the autism “epidemic” is confounded by shifting definitions, DSM changes, diagnostic substitution (notably from intellectual disability), incentives, and social context, making single-cause claims unreliable. Bock describes internal conflict with Brownstone and criticizes Toby Rogers’ vaccine-centered, revolutionary framing, including calls for massive reparations and abolishing vaccines, as unscientific moral certainty. He supports case-by-case risk–benefit thinking on vaccines and urges precise classification and evidence-led inquiry, comparing autism debates to oversimplified climate debates.

Clare Craig: “Spiked” | Tom Nelson Pod #377

Tom interviews British doctor Clare Craig about her new book (including a newly released audiobook) and her involvement in a European Court of Human Rights case. Craig describes being smeared and censored during COVID, alleging UK information operations involving the 77th Brigade and a Counter Disinformation Unit, and cites claims of UN/UNICEF-funded influencer campaigns and problematic WHO priorities. She argues COVID policies (lockdowns, masking, distancing) and vaccines failed to stop infection, severe disease, or death, critiques scientific publishing and peer review, and recounts a dispute with The Lancet over a myocarditis paper she says misused data. Craig discusses ethical drift toward utilitarian public health, revisits historical narratives on smallpox vaccination and the 1918 “Spanish flu” (including a possible aspirin-toxicity role), and outlines the Finnish “Mika” case over vaccine restrictions.

David Dilley: “Food shortages looming?” | Tom Nelson Pod #376

David Dilley: “Food shortages looming?” | Tom Nelson Pod #376

David Dilley, a former NOAA and Air Force meteorologist, says climate is driven by natural “climate pulse” cycles from Earth–Moon–Sun gravitational/electromagnetic interactions, not human CO2. He argues warming and cooling have repeated for centuries and claims Arctic ice loss since 1990 is mainly from periodic surges of warm Atlantic subsurface water about every nine years. He critiques NOAA temperature averaging and ice-core CO2 estimates, citing fossil leaf stomata to claim CO2 often exceeded 300 ppm and that most post-1850 CO2 rise is natural. He forecasts a global cooling cycle starting around 2030 lasting 60–75 years, with shorter growing seasons, possible food shortages, and greater energy needs. He advocates shifting climate research funding and expanding thorium/molten-salt nuclear power.

Paul Burgess: “Burgess Oceanic-Solar-CO2 Index Follow-Up” | Tom Nelson Pod #375

Paul Burgess: “Burgess Oceanic-Solar-CO2 Index Follow-Up” | Tom Nelson Pod #375

Paul Burgess presents updates to his Burgess Oceanic Solar CO2 index, claiming it precisely matches satellite temperatures from 1982–2025 without changing its fixed formula, including UAH v6.1 and final 2024–2025 data despite a record-low PDO. He says the index is not a forecasting model and implies ECS is 1°C, with ~25% warming from CO2 and ~22–23% from human CO2 after outgassing. A second paper argues oceans drive low-cloud changes (1–3 year lag), with ~2% cloud decline explaining warming, challenging IPCC positive feedbacks. He previews an extension back to 1900 with ~0.96 correlation using a UHI adjustment (Connolly 2021) and invites critique by email.

Joseph Fournier: “There is not one greenhouse effect; there are two” | Tom Nelson Pod #374

Joseph Fournier presents “part two” on how Pacific Walker circulation controls Earth’s largest greenhouse effect: cloud longwave radiative forcing. He explains cloud radiative forcing terminology, cites literature claiming cloud greenhouse warming dwarfs CO2 forcing, and shows satellite-era links between trade winds, cloud shifts during ENSO, outgoing longwave radiation, and global/tropical temperature anomalies. He contrasts absorbed solar radiation, OLR, and Earth energy imbalance, arguing global averages can be dominated by regional Pacific dynamics. He reviews multidecadal “dimming/brightening” sunshine trends in Europe, Japan and the U.S., discusses aerosols vs natural drivers, and briefly addresses future uncertainty, AMO/IPO impacts, and solar/cosmic-ray hypotheses.

Jamie Andrews: “Control Studies” | Tom Nelson Pod #373

Jamie Andrews discusses his journey from geology to virology, questioning the mechanisms and validity of virus transmission and pathogenic theories, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on historical and contemporary controlled human infection studies, Andrews suggests that viruses do not spread as traditionally believed and criticizes the reliance on PCR tests for diagnosing viral infections. He also questions the role of global institutions in shaping scientific narratives, proposing that environmental factors and industrial toxins may play a more significant role in disease than viruses.

Cohler/Soon: “Rebuttal to Nikolov on global temperature” | Tom Nelson Pod #371

Jonathan Cohler and Willie Soon present a rebuttal to assertions made by Ned Nikolov about the physical meaning of global mean surface temperature (GMST). They argue that GMST is a physically meaningless statistical construct that cannot represent the Earth's thermal state or energy content due to its basis in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. They emphasize that temperature is an intensive property and its aggregation across different systems is fundamentally flawed from both mathematical and thermodynamic perspectives.

Ned Nikolov: “Meaning of global temperature” | Tom Nelson Pod #370

Ned Nikolov discusses the physical meaning of the global mean surface temperature, addressing critiques by papers from Essex et al. (2007) and Jonathan Cohler (2025) that question its validity. Nikolov argues that these critiques misunderstand thermodynamic principles, and presents his own analysis, supported by satellite data, which shows a meaningful correlation between global mean surface temperature and energy fluxes. He emphasizes the importance of using accurate scientific principles when critiquing climate science to maintain credibility.

Donna Laframboise discusses her latest book, 'Thank You Truckers Canada's Heroes,' which chronicles the 2022 trucker convoy in Ottawa against COVID-19 mandates, highlighting the misrepresentation by mainstream media and the heartwarming solidarity among ordinary Canadians. She explains the hardships faced by the truckers, the public's overwhelming support, and the subsequent mistreatment by the government, including the freezing of bank accounts and severe penalties for non-violent protesters. Additionally, Laframboise provides insights into her previous investigative work on the IPCC's climate change reports and raises concerns about the current media landscape and political dynamics in Canada.
