Tom Nelson

I had the chance to interview Tom Nelson, who is positive that the debate on climate science is moving away from the alarmists to a more realistic approach that begins with there is no climate crisis. In his interview, he acknowledges that many on the skeptic side don’t universally agree on all issues including what the impact humans have as some don’t dispute human activity but wonder how much that impact is and others simply view natural events beyond human control. Regardless, there is no crisis existential or real as our planet has been warmer, colder (ice ages), and we had more CO2 in the atmosphere in the past and life flourishes. Nelson made an interesting point that many of climate alarmist scientists are the B team variety. I have seen a few debates where alarmist decide their science to the test, and they rarely win. Nelson himself noted he has challenged many to debate him and so far only three have shown up and as he quipped, “I am 3-0, undefeated.” If the pandemic showed us anything, scientists can be as much political whores as most politicians are. Most of the scientific community led by the likes of Debbie Birks (mediocre scientists) and Tony Fauci who basically hid the origin of the virus and were totally wrong on the lockdowns, lethality of the virus and hid the origins. Fauci and Collins went out of their way to destroy the careers of those opposed them and I might add climate alarmists have done the same. The pandemic skeptics were right about the big issues and the climate skeptics are equally correct in their science. The big story about the pandemic is that many scientists privately told Fauci that the virus was man-made but publicly say the opposite but many of them either had relations with Wuhan laboratories or grants not yet approved by Fauci. They were willing to prostitute themselves and their science for continued money flowing.

Certainly, if you are in climate science, want grants for research, tenure, and opportunity to move up the academic ladder, then you know which side you need to be on. While back a climate scientist admitted that he manipulated data to get published because if he had not, the article would have been rejected. Americans will not accept a lower standard living to “save the planet” and the Chines and Indians are building coal plants quicker, ignoring the wisdom of the climate alarmists. Tony Heller told me in a interview, when you debate alarmists, you need to understand they lie, and the best way is to emphasis energy production, which Trump is doing. As Tom Nelson observed, there is no crisis.
