Tom Nelson Podcast #444: Thomas Kurz: “Why Warm Climates Moderate Severe Weather” is now published. Tom Kurz promotes his book Why There Is No Climate Crisis, and argues media and politicians wrongly claim warming increases weather catastrophes. He attributes major climate swings to the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and cites satellite-era hurricane data showing fewer hurricanes since 1990, with ACE and PDI declining and no meaningful trend in Category 4–5 storms. He says strong (EF2–EF5) U.S. tornadoes have declined since 1954, while weaker tornado counts rose due to better detection. Paleoclimate evidence (ice cores, dune sands, historical records) is cited to link colder periods to worse storms and droughts. He argues Arctic amplification and upper-troposphere warming weaken storm drivers, claims heatwaves/wildfires track natural cycles, droughts decline, greening and crop yields rise, climate- and famine-deaths fall, and IPCC finds no clear global flood trend. 00:00 Intro and Guest 00:39 Media Fear Claims 02:33 AMO Climate Cycles 07:27 Hurricane Trends Data 11:24 Tornado Strength Decline 14:52 Paleoclimate Storm Evidence 18:57 Why Warming Weakens Storms 26:02 Deaths Down With Warming 27:18 Heatwaves and Metrics 33:15 Wildfires and Greening 38:22 Drought History and Famine 46:13 Floods and Final Summary 48:20 Book Plug and Q&A Wrap

"No Boiling Planet", a new film from @freedom_rsrch, challenges the climate scam narrative. Scientists and experts featured in the film •William Happer – Physicist, Professor Emeritus, Princeton University. •Richard Lindzen – Atmospheric physicist, Professor Emeritus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). •Judith Curry – Climatologist, former Chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Professor Emerita. •Samuel Furfari – Professor Emeritus of Geopolitics and Energy Policy, Université libre de Bruxelles, and former senior official at the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Energy. •Lars Schernikau – Dr. Lars Schernikau is an energy economist, commodity trader, entrepreneur and author. Lars believes that energy should not be a political matter. His conclusions are based on how energy systems actually work, what they cost and what is needed to keep them running reliably. These views are not influenced nor do they change, regardless of one’s views on anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Providing reliable and affordable energy is a necessity, not a political angle. •Valter Kiisk – Associate Professor, Institute of Physics, University of Tartu. •Arne Ader – Biologist and renowned nature photographer.

Gerry Quinn on MRNA Covid "vaccines": "Now, if you get a big batch, there will be some kind of settlement. It's not a homogenous preparation, so some people will receive a weaker variety, with more RNA inside it and more contamination or less, and some people will receive more of the sludge that sinks to the bottom of these large vats where they make the processes in..." @1RonanConnolly @jercuinn

Ronan Connolly: "The actual clinical trials of the COVID vaccine were saying that this was 95% effective at stopping you getting symptomatic COVID, and a lot of people have forgotten that from the very beginning, but that was what it was approved on the basis, that it would stop you getting symptomatic COVID. And yet, after the first people had already gotten fully dosed and then they were getting COVID, there was this kind of after the fact shifting of the narrative saying, "Oh no, we never said it would stop you getting COVID," even though they did. "Maybe it'll reduce the severity of symptoms." @1RonanConnolly @jercuinn

James Kamis: El Nino and La Nina are generated by geological forces (magma and hot lava) beneath the Pacific Ocean.

100% BS from the UN. There is no climate crisis. There are no "frontlines". It's all a scam. @Refugees

Tom Nelson Podcast #443: Nicole Sachs: “The cure for chronic pain” is now published. === Tom interviews therapist and author Nicole Sachs about recovering from severe back pain diagnosed at 19 as degenerative spondylolisthesis. After learning surgery wouldn’t guarantee pain relief, she discovered Dr. John Sarno’s TMS model: chronic symptoms can stem from nervous-system dysregulation driven by repressed emotions and trauma. Sachs describes her work helping people worldwide, including Michael Porter Jr. and Steve Kerr, emphasizing three pillars: belief in brain science, doing “JournalSpeak” to make the unconscious conscious, and self-compassion. She explains symptoms as an “alarm,” not the “fire,” urges curiosity over fear, and directs listeners to resources at nicolesachs.com. 00:00 Meet Nicole Sachs 00:44 Back Pain Diagnosis Shock 03:03 Surgery Doubts Spark Curiosity 05:01 Discovering Sarno TMS 07:15 Recovery Stories Proof 09:47 Sarno Visit Trash Can 15:17 Growing Reach Younger Fans 20:39 Steve Kerr Turnaround 23:35 Pain Despair Hope 26:54 Mind Body Basics Explained 34:50 Fire Alarm Analogy 39:12 JournalSpeak Breakthrough 46:33 How To Start Today 47:19 Closing Curiosity Message

Hard pass: Every year, Bangladesh wants another 15,000 million dollars in carbon dioxide scam cash

Dave Burton on carbon budgets: "It's entirely based on the notion that once we've emitted it, its warming effect is permanent, right? That the removal doesn't matter. It's complete hokum. It might as well be astrology. It's got no scientific basis. But that's their rationale for their net zero campaign."

James Kamis on ocean floor geysers: They can emit fluid at 750 degrees, and there are over two million of them on the ocean floor.

Tom Nelson Podcast #442: Ronan Connolly/Gerry Quinn: “Assessing the Safety of the Modified mRNA Vaccine” is now published. Ronan Connolly and Gerry Quinn discuss their new peer-reviewed Journal of Toxicology paper assessing safety concerns around modified mRNA COVID vaccines. They criticize shifting claims about vaccine efficacy, difficulties publishing dissenting views, and argue the technology differs from traditional vaccines because it delivers genetic instructions via lipid nanoparticles with broad body distribution. They discuss potential issues including dosing and duration of spike protein production, microvesicle transport, pseudouridine-related frame shifting and protein misfolding, manufacturing differences between trials and mass rollout, and possible DNA contamination. They also review clinical trial criticisms, seasonality findings, and argue observational claims of lives saved rely on models and confounding. 00:00 Guests and COVID Paper Recap 01:32 New mRNA Vaccine Focus 03:22 New Toxicology Paper and Caveats 08:50 Why Discussing Harms Was Taboo 10:28 Old Vaccines vs Gene Tech 15:27 Testing Gaps and Gene Therapy Roots 23:42 Where It Goes and How Long It Lasts 28:27 Manufacturing Differences and Contamination 36:13 Nobel Prize and Pseudouridine 41:15 How Modified Bases Can Misread 42:13 Frameshift Proteins Found 43:08 Codons Explained Simply 44:57 Reductionism Meets Epigenetics 47:30 Codon Optimization Changes Folding 51:37 Why Spike Protein Matters 56:14 Long COVID vs Long Vax 58:40 Trial Efficacy Math 01:02:02 Whistleblowers and Unblinding 01:07:26 Seasonality and Lockdowns 01:11:10 Lives Saved Model Critique 01:15:26 Observational Study Confounding 01:18:37 Adverse Events and Gatekeeping 01:23:26 Final Takeaways and Resources

Carbon dioxide isn't the climate control knob, but it *is* very beneficial plant food. Dave Burton: "...if you add 10 parts per million, you get 2% increase in corn yields. Wheat was even more."

James Kamis on the huge contours under the oceans: "Some of these mountains are taller than Mount Everest, and some of the valleys, their size and depth are larger than the Grand Canyon. ....this is a very dynamic...geological system."

Dave Burton on the small scale of warming over the last 150 years: " If you climb a hill about 600 feet, that's about one to one and a quarter degrees of climate change. Or if you're in America's heartland and you drive 60 miles north or south, that's about a degree of climate change."

Tom Nelson Podcast #441: Anika Sweetland: “A Load of Bollocks?: The Trillion Dollar Climate Scare” is now published. @anika_climate Anika Sweetland describes becoming fearful of climate change after a school assignment, obsessively following catastrophic headlines, studying climate science, and suffering severe health issues she links to eco-anxiety. During lockdown and after observing net zero’s economic impacts in England, she began questioning claims, researching data on topics like sea levels, crop yields, and past cooling vs warming scares, and concluded she had been “brainwashed.” She discusses media ethics, impacts on children, and argues climate fears enable centralized control. Sweetland and host Tom discuss her new book, its humor, an upcoming Audible version, and support from physicist Will Happer, who wrote the foreword. 00:00 Doomsday Headlines Hook 00:57 Lockdown Rabbit Hole 01:36 Questioning The Narrative 01:56 Meet The Author 04:11 All In Research Mindset 05:01 Childhood Climate Fear 07:25 Skeptic Turn In Zurich 09:48 Checking Claims One By One 13:44 Old Scares Same Script 18:18 Eco Anxiety Health Crash 21:50 Are People Waking Up 24:10 Cargo Bikes Backlash 25:02 Finding Real Climate Data 25:53 Net Zero Meets Blackouts 26:32 Nuclear For Data Centers 28:50 Renewables Reality Check 29:29 Wind Turbine True Costs 30:35 Humor In The Book 31:14 Party Of Doom Story 33:01 Reaching True Believers 33:30 Sea Level Claims Tested 34:55 Climate Fear And Moving 36:16 Mind Body Healing 37:54 Handling Critics And Online 38:51 Audiobook And Happer Forward 40:46 Conference Protest Moment 41:20 Final Book Plug Thanks

This is fun: One extra CO2 molecule for every 10,000 atmospheric molecules was allegedly powerful enough to prevent an Ice Age, but "that doesn't mean global warming is a good thing". 😄 Seems to me that trying to live in the Chicago area would be a lot more difficult if it was once again covered with thousands of feet of ice.
