I have an MS degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
I was involved in tech and software for many years. In 2005, as an avid bird-watcher, I became heavily involved in debunking a high-profile, but bogus “Ivory-billed Woodpecker” rediscovery that opened my eyes to the problems with blindly trusting “peer-reviewed science”.
Then a meteorologist pointed out lots of parallels between that woodpecker debate and the climate change debate, and I have been debunking climate change/energy claims almost daily since then. First on Blogspot, then on Twitter, then on tens of podcasts on YouTube here (and on many other platforms).
My podcast guests have included Richard Lindzen, Will Happer, Marc Morano, Judith Curry, Carl-Otto Weiss, Valentina Zharkova, Christopher Essex, Henrik Svensmark, Patrick Moore, Ross McKitrick, Willie Soon, Susan Crockford, Peter Ridd, and Christopher Monckton

Some background: Jack Hitt of the New York Times wrote about my ivory-billed woodpecker work in his book “A Bunch of Amateurs” (see excerpt here):
Key sentences from Hitt: “When you watch a real amateur assault on an academic and government fortress, it’s not hard to understand the pleasure..Amateurs are more likely to see what is actually there because there’s no money, no power, no prestige (at least not immediately) attached to seeing anything else. Amateurs mainly just want to know.”

Fact 1: Remove the Earth’s atmosphere or even just the GreenHouse Gases and the Earth becomes much like the Moon, no water vapor or clouds, no ice or snow, no oceans, no vegetation, no 30% albedo becoming a barren rock ball, hot^3 (400 K) on the lit side, cold^3 (100 K) on the dark. At our distance from the Sun space is hot (394 K) not cold (5 K).
That’s NOT what the Radiative GreenHouse Effect theory says.
EVIDENCE:
RGHE theory “288 K w – 255 K w/o = a 33 C colder ice ball Earth” 255 K assumes w/o keeps 30% albedo, an assumption akin to criminal fraud.

Fact 2: The GHGs require “extra” energy upwelling from a surface radiating as a black body.
EVIDENCE:
According to the K-T atmospheric power flux balance, numerous clones and SURFRAD the GHGs must absorb an “extra” 396/333/63 W/m^2 LWIR energy upwelling from the surface allegedly radiating as a black body. These graphics contain egregious arithmetic and thermodynamic errors. See https://youtu.be/0Jijw7-YG-U
Fact 3: Because of the significant non-radiative, i.e. kinetic, heat transfer processes of the contiguous participating atmospheric molecules the surface cannot upwell “extra” energy as a black body.
EVIDENCE:
As demonstrated by experiment, the gold standard of classical science.

CONCLUSION:
No RGHE, no GHG warming, no CAGW or mankind/CO2 driven climate change.
I am currently having my mind blown by these presentations that you are putting together. However, (following #35 - Lennert den Boer: “It's The Sun, Not Us”) I take umbrage at Den Boer Cold-War-throwback, sketchy notions about what he calls 'Socialism' (leaving 'Communism' aside for a moment). There is no consensual definition of Socialism but at its base it contains the idea that government and policy should be exercised for the whole community and that they should prioritise helping the poor, the weak, the disabled, the disadvantaged, etc. to lead a decent life at the expense of the lucky and the rich's desire to accumulate resources according to their whims and desires (which are acquisitive by nature – due to certain aspects of human nature, mechanisms of completion, etc.). Of course, sometimes competition of a selfish nature can have some beneficial outcomes (think of how much we enjoy sports competition) and should in such cases be encouraged by policy.
The point is that Den Boer’s reading of the IPCC, Greenpeace, the Greens, etc. is wrong. It is not that Global Warming policy is a Trojan horse for ‘Socialism’, as Den Boer fears (although this may be the case for a few individuals who are not thinking things through or are kidding themselves); rather that they are co-opting Socialism to their cause because Left-Wing activist muscle is useful to them (a lot of Socialists are disillusioned by the dominance of Neo-liberalism, the decline of Unions, etc. since the 80s). But investors and, thus financial Capitalism and its activists, are getting in on the act.
The point is that if you are right about global warming being a kind of public security scare (one can think of recent reactions to certain viruses that have practically zero impact on the healthy and below 70s and even the alarmism about the millennial bug – remember that?) then you are right –period. Caricatures about a sinister invasion-of-the-body-snatchers plot by devious (partly imaginary) political opponents are not helpful. This is about having an incorrupt public discussion about science that should welcome those of all political persuasions.
Thanks for what you do, learning a ton

"Remove the Earth’s atmosphere or even just the GreenHouse Gases and the Earth becomes much like the Moon, no water vapor or clouds"
<- A false scenario. To make earth like the moon we must remove all the oceans and all the atmosphere, and give it a 24-hour rotation. The moon's current rotation is more like 672 hours not 24.
Oceans are responsible for 50% of earth surface cooling because they provide nearly all the water for latent heat transport - which is a big wack of surface cooling. The trick of the greenhouse gas fraud is to con us with their model and its initial assumptions. The model only looks at surface radiation - which we know is a bit part player. Convection and conduction cause most earth surface cooling. But they can't model that. So they model what they can - like a blind man looking for keys he dropped underneath a street lamp at night.
We should not need to take the modellers, incompetent, dishonest models seriously. But they command influence due to the lies they mandate. Their models of a greenhouse gas effect are Mickey Mouse lies.
