MIT climate scientist (and former IPCC lead author) Dr. Richard Lindzen: "You know, when you hear, for instance, a scientist saying the science is settled, you know that person has stepped out of the science. I think that registers with ordinary people. And whenever you see someone say, instead of answering arguments, how could so many people agree if it weren't true? It should be a red flag."

.@TomHarrisICSC on the age-old insanity of blaming bad weather on people that you don't like: "Dr Baliunas, she talks about the witchcraft trials because the common belief was that the really severe weather during the 1600s and 1500s, it was being caused by witches working, weather cooking with Satan, okay? They're working in conjunction with Satan. And any men who supported those women, who spoke out in favor of them not being executed, they were considered warlocks. So even back then, they were blaming us for the changes. And of course, killing all those ladies didn't actually have any impact on the weather"

Tom Nelson Podcast #425: Tom Harris: “Pushing back against climate hysteria in Canada” is now published. @TomHarrisICSC Tom Harris argues Canada’s claim of warming twice the global average is unreliable because northern data coverage is sparse and “homogenized” station adjustments may exaggerate trends. He questions the meaning of average temperature and says Canada’s record shows a step change around 1998, consistent with El Niño and possibly the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, not steady greenhouse-gas forcing. He cites extreme-weather records peaking in the 1930s and references Heartland’s Climate Change Reconsidered and Roger Pielke’s datasets as showing little detected change in many extremes. Harris then describes organizing local activists, using Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, rehearsing questions, and bypassing media censorship to challenge municipal climate policies. 00:00 Meet Tom Harris 00:19 Canada Warming Claims 00:41 Is Warming Bad 03:21 So Called Averages 05:13 Overlapping Ranges 08:06 Why Start 1948 11:08 Heat Records Evidence 11:54 Sparse Arctic Stations 14:39 Homogenized Adjustments 17:00 Step Change Not CO2 18:57 Hickey Speaks Out 21:59 Natural Cycles Theory 22:59 PR Versus Evidence 24:22 Extreme Weather Database 25:56 Heartland Reports 28:32 Warmer Means Milder 31:07 Pielke Teaser 31:19 Global Extremes Database 31:51 P Factor Explained 32:30 Translator Not Climatologist 33:33 Drilling Into Continents 34:48 Wildfire History Context 37:23 Heatwave Data Concerns 38:31 Local Activism Playbook 40:06 Alinsky Rules In Action 42:49 Debate Questions And Ridicule 47:16 Training Volunteers Nationwide 51:59 Beating Media Censorship 53:55 Groups Funding And Contact 56:17 Practice Sessions And Wins 57:43 Wrap Up Resources
