    Brenda Shaffer | Tom Nelson Pod #391

    Brenda Shaffer discusses her Wall Street Journal piece arguing that current renewable-driven policies undermine energy security by making Western systems less reliable, more expensive, and dependent on concentrated supply chains, often tied to China. She says maritime security failures (Red Sea, Russia-Ukraine, Strait disruptions) show poor preparation, and argues fossil fuels still dominate the global energy mix (87%) despite decades of subsidies, while wind/solar remain limited and require backup baseload. She criticizes restricting fossil-fuel finance, especially in Africa, for worsening energy access and development. Shaffer claims UN climate institutions are political, seek taxation power withouBt representation, and that climate movements often oppose both fossil fuels and nuclear. She highlights Germany’s costly energy transition, emphasizes operational energy in warfare, and calls to restore energy security as national security and enable open debate. 00:00 Renewables and Crisis 00:57 Energy Security Failures 03:04 Emperor New Clothes 05:36 China and Methane Politics 10:32 Climate Narratives vs Reality 12:33 Myths of Transition 16:26 Cutting Supply Hurts Poor 19:50 Africa Needs Real Power 26:36 Germany Energiewende Fallout 29:21 Climate Activism and Anti West 30:33 Hydrocarbon Roadmap Skepticism 31:19 UN Climate Taxes and Power Grabs 33:18 Transparency and Budget Secrecy 34:39 Trump Era Workarounds and Lawfare 38:08 Gatekeepers and Speaking Freely 39:13 Languages and Middle East Shifts 44:07 Operational Energy in Warfare 47:53 Military Electrification Limits 51:52 IPCC Politics and Carbon Markets 55:27 Extreme Weather Narratives 58:01 Energy Realism Closing Message https://x.com/ProfBShaffer ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

    Samuel Furfari: “The Truth About the COPs” | Tom Nelson Pod #390

    Former European Commission energy official Samuel Furfari recounts COPs from the 1992 UN climate convention through recent meetings, arguing the process became propaganda-heavy, expensive, and ineffective as global CO2 emissions rose 66% since 1992. He cites Glasgow as a turning point when China and India blocked anti-coal language, and notes recent COPs hosted by fossil-fuel producers and growing pushback from Africa and others seeking development. He criticizes “technology transfer,” NGO influence (especially in the EU), and anti-nuclear sentiment, discusses synthetic fuels as too costly until oil/gas decline, and describes shifts at the IEA and oil firms like BP back toward oil and gas. 00:00 Meet Samuel Furfari 01:02 COP Zero Origins 02:38 Berlin COP and Merkel 04:14 Glasgow Turning Point 06:11 Fossil Fuel Host COPs 09:39 Brazil COP Contradictions 10:46 Money and Degrowth Agenda 12:49 Nuclear and Synthetic Fuels 15:03 Cuckoo Takes the Nest 17:19 COP Spectacle and Emissions 20:07 Africa and Tech Transfer 22:44 Papua New Guinea Shifts 24:09 Polar Bear Messaging Fades 25:40 IEA From Oil to Renewables 29:03 US Pressures IEA 30:05 Oil Chokepoints Reality 31:08 Inside IEA Ideology 32:00 BP Retreats to Oil 35:21 Subsidy Driven Renewables 35:57 NGOs Power Shift 38:04 UN Leadership After Guterres 40:32 Africa Needs Electrification 43:06 Leaders Doubt Climate Agenda 46:57 China Emissions Outsourcing 49:31 COP Hosting Politics 53:39 COP15 Failure and Wrap The Truth About the COPs: 30 years of illusions: https://a.co/d/05AuqsJE https://x.com/FurfariSamuele ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

    Andy May: “The Sun vs CO2” | Tom Nelson Pod #389

    Andy May discusses how Earth’s energy imbalance and ocean heat content relate to solar radiation versus greenhouse-gas downwelling IR. He argues IR photons are lower energy and absorbed in the ocean’s top micrometers–millimeter (thermal/electromagnetic skin), so it cannot directly heat the mixed layer; instead it may reduce upward heat loss by altering the skin-layer temperature gradient, while sunlight penetrates meters to greater than 100 m and warms the bulk ocean. He critiques NASA-style energy-flow diagrams for confusing one-way radiative fluxes (e.g., 340 W/m²) with net heat (e.g., 58 W/m²). He highlights large uncertainties in EEI and OHC due to sparse, inconsistent datasets, cool-skin effects, short Argo-era records, and oscillations like AMO/ENSO, making partitioning of causes uncertain. 00:00 Sun vs CO2 Setup 00:35 Why IR Differs 02:52 Ocean Skin Layers 05:48 Photon Energy Debate 07:55 Cool Skin Impacts 10:01 Energy Diagram Myths 13:33 EEI and OHC Limits 18:17 Ocean Data Disagreements 23:55 Surface EEI Variability 26:38 IR Cannot Heat Deep 29:51 Bottom Line Uncertainty 31:18 Q&A and Critiques 34:52 Modeling and Coverage 36:41 Regional Trend Map 41:21 Closing Takeaways https://x.com/Andy_May_Writer https://andymaypetrophysicist.com/ ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

    Kevin Mooney: “Climate Pxrn” | Tom Nelson Pod #388

    Kevin Mooney discusses his book “Climate Pxrn,” inspired by climate propaganda in classrooms and a push to restore the scientific method. He critiques polar-bear and other climate messaging, argues funding and politics suppress skeptics, and describes threats to prosecute dissent via RICO-style lawfare. He highlights Trump-era moves such as leaving the Paris Agreement and efforts to reverse the EPA’s 2009 endangerment finding on CO2, calling it a major deregulatory change. Mooney cites Canada’s carbon tax costs and bureaucracy as warnings, alleges Russian and Chinese money influences anti-fracking activism, and raises national-security concerns about China-linked energy supply chains and offshore wind. He also criticizes EV lithium-battery fire risks, climate activism in healthcare, carbon-tracking credit cards, and argues AI power demand is undermining wind/solar claims. 00:00 Meet Kevin Mooney 01:13 Acorn to Green Groups 01:54 Polar Bear Myth 03:27 NASA vs Climate Models 06:57 Solar System Climate Clues 07:50 Silencing Skeptics 09:39 Criminalizing Dissent 11:36 Paris Deal and Lawfare 12:24 EPA Endangerment Fight 15:00 Canada Carbon Tax Reality 17:53 Foreign Money and Fracking 21:14 China Grid Security Risks 22:17 Offshore Wind and Security 24:29 Wind Groups vs Locals 24:54 EV Battery Fire Risks 26:21 Climate Policies in Healthcare 28:36 Carbon Tracking Credit Cards 29:56 Second Amendment Backstop 31:08 ESG Retreat and BlackRock 32:37 COVID and Classroom Climate Push 34:23 Young Men Shift and Faith 35:23 Climate Agenda and Marxism 36:41 Herding Rural America to Cities 38:16 Union of Concerned Scientists 39:46 Government Science Funding Distortion 40:46 AI Power Demand and RGGI 43:28 Greenwashing and Energy Reality 44:28 Offshore Wind and Whale Deaths 45:58 Heartland Conference Takeaways 48:36 Closing Thoughts and Book Plug https://x.com/KevinMooneyDC https://kevinmooney.info/ Climate Pxrn: How and Why Anti-Population Zealots Fabricate Science, while Targeting American Capitalism, Freedom, and Independence: https://a.co/d/05Cd61cX ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

    Vladislav Bogorov: “Glasgow City Council blowing billions on the climate scam” | Tom Nelson Pod #387

    Vlad Bogorov talks about Glasgow City Council’s plans to spend tens of billions to pursue net zero and Bogorov’s three YouTube videos from public meetings where officials gave vague, cliché answers, asked for written questions, and objected to being filmed. Bogorov argues such environmentalism is “low resolution thinking,” primarily about power and public money, and claims renewables and policies like EVs can increase CO2 when accounting for grid losses, mining, and transmission. He cites Germany closing nuclear and burning more coal, contends nuclear is safest and necessary for net zero, and urges critics to focus on whether environmentalism raises or lowers CO2 rather than debating global warming itself. 00:00 Glasgow Net Zero Meetings 01:07 YouTube Complaint Fallout 02:00 Vague Answers No Details 03:54 Renewables And Public Trough 04:35 Low Resolution Thinking 05:02 History Slavery Nuclear Examples 09:36 Sahara Solar Fantasy 11:53 Environmentalism Blocks Nuclear 14:24 Wrong Conversation On Costs 16:31 Electric Vehicles Emit More 20:06 Germany Coal After Nuclear 24:34 Politics Is About Power 27:31 Debating CO2 And Focus 28:45 Environmentalism Backfires 30:11 EV Batteries and Tradeoffs 31:15 Glasgow Council Push 32:28 Power Without Accountability 34:29 Why Facts Dont Persuade 39:23 Placards and Public Reactions 41:15 Change the Battlefield 42:04 Anti Nuclear Contradiction 46:46 Winning and the Real Cost 47:48 Social Movements End Hard 49:45 Closing Thanks His YouTube channel, “Buchanan Street is my pub.”: https://www.youtube.com/@Buchanan1111 When History Had Other Plans, 2025: https://a.co/d/4ykoJrJ ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

    Julian Morris | Tom Nelson Pod #386

    Julian Morris presents slides on climate change: global temperatures have risen since 1850 and human greenhouse gas emissions plausibly contribute via radiative forcing, but he argues harms are not worsening. Using the EM-DAT disaster database, he notes reported extreme-weather disasters rose while geophysical disasters rose similarly, suggesting reporting and population effects; meanwhile climate-disaster mortality has fallen over 90% since the 1920s due to adaptation, technology, trade, infrastructure, warnings, and better buildings. He highlights long-term declines in energy and CO2 per GDP and potential decoupling, attributing progress to innovation and institutions like free markets and property rights. He critiques democratically unaccountable NGO–foundation–intergovernmental coalitions, discusses perverse incentives in conservation (rhino horn trade bans), ethanol mandates, and possible blockchain tracking for wildlife products. 00:00 Meet Julian Morris 01:02 Is the World Warming 01:33 Are Humans Causing It 02:24 Disaster Counts Rising 04:51 Why Disasters Get Counted 06:21 Deaths From Disasters Fall 07:46 How Humans Adapt 11:03 Should We Worry Next 11:34 Efficiency Cuts Emissions 13:57 Energy Decouples From CO2 16:20 Fuel Shifts Over Time 21:13 Tech Efficiency Breakthroughs 23:18 Projecting To Net Zero 24:37 Environmental Kuznets Curve 27:24 Institutions Drive Decoupling 29:48 Policy Takeaways And Tradeoffs 31:54 Global Carbon Intensity Trends 32:22 Hurricanes And Alarmism 32:47 Lighting Progress Metrics 33:44 Segmented Sleep Debate 35:07 Democratic Deficit Ecosystem 37:32 Climate Coalition Incentives 39:39 Declining Climate Credibility 42:13 Availability Cascades Explained 43:35 Perverse NGO Incentives 46:10 Rhino Horn Trade Ban Fallout 50:42 Saving Species With Trade 51:59 Ethanol Baptist Bootleggers 54:54 Blockchain For Provenance 57:26 Wrap Up And Resources https://reason.org/author/julian-morris/ https://x.com/Julian_Morris Defending Democracy from the DoDOs: How Power Escapes Democratic Control: https://laweconcenter.org/resources/defending-democracy-from-the-dodos-part-i-how-power-escapes-democratic-control/ ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

    Demetris Koutsoyiannis: “The political origin of the climate change agenda” | Tom Nelson Pod #385

    Professor Demetris Koutsoyiannis presents a 2020 talk arguing the “climate change agenda” is political, tracing it to Henry Kissinger’s 1974 UN speech and subsequent WMO, CIA, U.S. agency actions, leading to the CO2 program, world climate conferences, and the IPCC’s 1988 creation. He reviews Time magazine’s shifting narratives from global cooling to warming and CO2, then describes elite networks and philanthropy—especially Rockefeller-linked funding—aimed at moving climate from science to policy, promoting carbon pricing, and expanding global governance. He draws a historical analogy to Rockefeller-supported eugenics and warns of emergency politics limiting rights. In discussion, he contrasts Greek and U.S. belief levels and says COVID fears waned in Greece while climate remains influential. 00:00 Intro and Talk Setup 01:43 Roadmap and Sources 03:15 1973-74 Power Players 05:45 Kissinger Career Background 06:44 Five Labors Overview 10:16 Climate Alert at UN 12:38 Cooling Scare and Agencies 14:38 CO2 Program to IPCC Birth 16:42 Climategate and IPCC Politics 19:00 Time Magazine Narrative Shift 19:30 From Ice Age to CO2 Villain 22:57 Rio to Kyoto Green Industry 24:47 Panic Marketing and Activism 26:38 Greta and Climate Migration 28:15 COVID vs Climate Messaging 31:09 Part Three World Saviors 31:30 Rockefeller Web of Influence 33:34 Money Geography and Oil Roots 35:32 Big Oil Meets Big Green 37:11 Grantmaking and Consensus 37:56 Rockefeller Climate Strategy 39:29 Divestment and Multi Agenda Grants 41:14 Foundation Funding Machine 42:53 Podesta Emails Elite Coordination 44:26 Big Green Mega Projects 45:27 Climate Emergency State 48:35 Climate as Global Governance Vehicle 51:58 Supranational Solutions Go Mainstream 55:12 Paris COP Influence Network 56:53 Eugenics Historical Parallel 59:25 From Consensus to State Policy 01:02:31 Epilogue Doom Predictions 01:04:09 COVID Pivot and World Order 01:08:56 Closing Truth and Freedom 01:11:22 Q and A Wrap Up Home page: https://www.itia.ntua.gr/en/dk/ Substack: https://climath.substack.com/ The political origin of the climate change agenda: https://www.itia.ntua.gr/en/docinfo/2035/ ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

    Jules de Waart: “Crisis or Hoax?: Climate Change in Science, Media, and Politics” | Tom Nelson Pod #384

    Jules de Waart, an 84-year-old former geologist, Dutch parliamentarian, civil servant, and physical geographer, discusses returning to climate topics after retirement and writing his skeptical book, "Crisis or Hoax," after an article was refused. He describes translating it to English using translation software and later joining the CO2 Coalition. Using geological and satellite-temperature slides, he argues Earth’s climate has long cycled through icehouse/greenhouse periods, the Holocene had earlier warm periods, and recent temperature spikes align with natural factors rather than CO2. He disputes claims of a strong scientific consensus, cites studies showing few papers explicitly quantify IPCC dominance, critiques alarmist messaging, and urges defending the scientific method and caution on geoengineering. 00:00 Meet Jules de Waart 02:49 Why He Wrote The Book 03:08 Research And Translation Process 06:13 Two Big Climate Questions 10:26 Deep Time Climate History 14:32 Holocene Warm Periods 18:25 IPCC 1990 And Hockey Stick 21:02 Satellites Spikes And Natural Drivers 25:43 Debunking The 97 Percent Consensus 30:59 Scary Messaging And White Lies 34:19 Is The Narrative Cracking 42:49 Power Politics And Global Reset Claims 49:00 Closing Advice And Scientific Method Amazon link for “Crisis or Hoax?: Climate change in science, media and politics”: https://a.co/d/0hF1Dizd Tilak Doshi: “This Book by a Dissenting Climate Scientist is the Perfect Red Pill for the Curious”: https://tilakdoshi.substack.com/p/this-book-by-a-dissenting-climate?publication_id=2241724 ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
