    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. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction 00:38 Global Temperature: Physically Meaningless 01:28 Thermodynamics and Its Importance 02:26 Disagreement in Science 02:58 Essex Etal 2007 Paper Discussion 04:25 Defining Global Mean Surface Temperature (GMST) 08:04 Temperature and Energy Relationship 15:43 Critique of Nikolov's Claims 34:26 Averaging Methods and Their Flaws 49:28 Debunking Global Temperature Myths 49:48 The Flaws in Global Temperature Estimation 51:23 Classical Realism and Thermodynamics 53:06 Critique of GMST and Climate Models 54:23 The Paris Agreement and GMST 55:47 Misconceptions in Climate Science 01:14:21 The Role of AI in Climate Research 01:20:03 Concluding Thoughts and Future Work https://jonathancohler.com/ https://x.com/cohler DDP July 2025 presentation: “The Father of Lies: Hijacking Climate Science - Jonathan Cohler”: https://youtu.be/o_YJgD5cy1I DDP July 2025 presentation: How well can we measure the Earth’s energy budget?

    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. 00:00 Introduction and Topic Overview 00:38 Questioning the Global Mean Surface Temperature 01:24 Review of Key Papers 02:23 Arguments Against Global Mean Surface Temperature 04:29 Analyzing the Validity of Temperature Averages 09:47 Kohler's Perspective on Temperature Measurement 19:03 Empirical Data and Model Comparisons 33:45 Understanding Temperature in Thermodynamics 37:49 Introduction to Temperature and Energy Concepts 38:09 Kohler's Statement and Its Flaws 38:34 Understanding Internal Energy and PV Energy 40:39 The Gas Law and Its Implications 43:08 Boltzmann Constant and Molecular Energy 44:11 Degrees of Freedom in Gas Molecules 45:06 Combining Equations for Total Energy 48:33 Temperature and Energy Relationship 49:11 Redefining Kelvin Using Boltzmann Constant 54:57 Global Mean Surface Temperature 57:55 Calculating Moon's Average Temperature 01:02:05 Latitude and Global Temperature Relationship 01:06:36 Critique of IPCC and Climate Skeptics 01:09:35 Q&A and Final Thoughts  Essex et al.

    Ralph Pezzullo: “Stolen Elections” | Tom Nelson Pod #368

    Author Ralph Pezzullo discusses his book 'Stolen Elections' based on a five-year investigation by government whistleblowers into the manipulation of elections via compromised software developed in Venezuela. The book details how this software, allegedly used to rig elections in 72 countries, was partly responsible for suspected fraud in U.S. elections since 2008. With insights from whistleblowers, computer experts, and endorsements from figures like Elon Musk, Pezzullo emphasizes the need to revert to paper ballots and ID-based voting to restore electoral integrity. 00:00 Introduction to Ralph Pezzullo and His Book 00:12 Whistleblowers and Their Backgrounds 01:25 Publicity and High-Profile Awareness 02:05 The Criminal Cartel and Election Software 05:36 Global Impact and Historical Context 08:53 Infiltration and Manipulation in the U.S. 12:47 Efforts to Expose and Combat the Fraud 23:43 Challenges and Resistance 27:01 The 2016 and 2024 Elections 38:42 Support and Skepticism 49:18 Conclusion and Final Thoughts https://x.com/RalphPezzullo https://linktr.ee/hbh_pod Stolen Elections book trailer: https://youtu.be/iEwa-SLnODY Stolen Elections on Amazon: https://a.co/d/cLBwpha https://stolenelectionsfacts.com/ ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
