Ron Davison received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemical Engineering (with distinction) in 1984 and began a long and successful career as a professional engineer in the energy industry.

In this episode, Ron Davison challenges the prevailing narrative about CO2 as a major climate driver, citing multiple data sources and his own analyses. Davison argues that CO2’s impact on climate is overestimated and that other factors like solar and oceanic cycles play significant roles. He also critiques current climate models and policies for their economic and scientific shortcomings.
