    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

    Audrey Streb: “Asking the Right Questions” | Tom Nelson Pod #383

    Reporter Audrey Streb discusses joining the White House press pool for The Lion, aiming to ask energy-focused questions. Drawing on her work at the Daily Caller News Foundation, she argues corporate media fuels “climate doomsday” coverage by spotlighting supportive studies and ignoring contrary ones, and she outlines tactics like calling out bad data, highlighting underplayed leads, and framing stories for readers. She cites reporting on retracted climate research, sea-level findings, China’s coal use and its comments on EPA rule rollbacks, and national-security risks from Chinese solar inverters. Her questioning of EPA Administrator Zeldin helped spur Sen. Cynthia Lummis’ bill to block foreign adversaries from commenting on U.S. rulemaking. She also mentions Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund scrutiny, climate litigation “lawfare,” and trade-offs in wind/solar. 00:00 Meet Audrey Streb 00:38 Energy Reporter Origins 01:46 Climate Myth Machine 03:56 Calling Out Bad Data 05:53 China and Energy Security 09:04 Asking the Questions 14:19 Swampy Climate Funds 15:38 Tradeoffs of Wind Solar 21:01 White House Press Pool 23:35 Allies and Conferences 24:43 Scientists and Media Attacks 27:20 Who to Read Next 29:26 New Investigations Ahead 31:33 Climate Lawfare Explained 36:15 Grid Risks from China Tech 39:01 Will the Hysteria Return 41:17 Gas Prices and Politics 43:33 Closing Thoughts and Impact https://x.com/AudreyLStreb ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

    Matt Ridley | Tom Nelson Pod #382

    Matt Ridley discusses an NIH invitation from Jay Bhattacharya to speak on scientific freedom and argues the COVID-19 pandemic was more likely caused by a lab leak than a natural spillover, citing Wuhan research on engineered sarbecoviruses, lack of an infected animal host, and alleged cover-ups. He says scientific institutions resisted debate, harming trust in science, and notes historical lab leaks and ongoing biosecurity and bioterrorism risks. Ridley also critiques overclaims about COVID measures and vaccines and connects pandemic-driven skepticism to climate debates. He then explains themes from his books on progress and on bird sexual selection, lekking, bowerbirds, and how female choice drives beauty, plus brief Darwin and family-history anecdotes. 00:00 NIH Invite and Lab Leak 01:08 Evidence and Coincidences 02:50 Establishment Pushback 04:49 Science Trust Fallout 07:00 History of Lab Leaks 08:34 Biosecurity and Terror Risk 10:32 Defining Gain of Function 11:57 Pandemic Cynicism and Policy 14:14 Climate Debate Parallels 18:44 Rational Optimist Progress 21:12 Neanderthals and Exchange 25:36 Gene Culture Coevolution 31:33 Bird Sex and Beauty Intro 33:56 Sexy Son Hypothesis 36:14 Sexual Selection vs Natural 37:10 Why Birds Look Beautiful 40:27 Wood Thrush Song Evolution 41:28 Bowerbirds Invent Art 43:26 Peacock Tail Debates 45:33 City Life Drives Evolution 47:47 Traffic and Telegraph Selection 51:42 Birds Are Poetry 53:18 Irish Elk Mega Antlers 56:25 Black Grouse Lek Video 58:13 Darwin Marries Cousin 01:00:45 Family Estate Through Centuries 01:03:59 Wrap Up and Invitation https://x.com/mattwridley https://www.mattridley.co.uk/blog/ ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

    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. 00:00 Meet David Brett 00:26 Eco Fascism Origins 01:08 Mining Versus Activists 01:34 Patrick Moore Influence 04:06 Greenpeace Mind Bombs 07:14 From Whales to Politics 08:31 PR War Imbalance 11:59 Smearing Patrick Moore 16:04 Anthropocene Media Tactics 21:14 Critical Minerals Pivot 25:52 Pipeline Battles Canada 30:58 Greta Rally and Sacred Water 34:31 Climate Anxiety Messaging 36:04 Why No Pushback 36:52 Greenpeace Lawsuit Setup 37:35 Sue Big Oil Campaign 39:44 Fires and Weather Hype 44:37 Youthwashing at City Hall 47:00 How to Fight Back Locally 50:30 Human Stories Media Strategy 57:40 Eco Fascism Endgame 59:38 Climate Meets Indigenous Grievance 01:04:34 Media Gatekeepers and Alternatives 01:08:24 Wrap Up and Links The Eco-Fascist War on Private Property: https://x.com/NewWestTimes/status/2012650288553906493 https://x.com/NewWestTimes https://x.com/davidhbrett YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfsOXbN6XqqdL5v3ArKt-NA/videos ========= Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
