Peter Ridd is a geophysicist with over 100 publications and 35 years’ experience working on the Great Barrier Reef and developed a wide range of world-first optical and electronic instruments for measuring environmental conditions near corals and other ecosystems. He was head of Physics at James Cook University for over a decade before being fired, in 2018, for questioning the quality assurance systems used by reef science institutions. Some of the poor-quality work relates to the effect, or lack of effect, of climate change, and agriculture, on the reef. Ridd now works, unpaid, with agricultural organisations, and the Institute of Public Affairs to improve quality assurance systems of “science” used by Australian governments to make environmental laws and regulations.

About Chris: Former financial journalist and publisher. Founded and sold Evandale Publishing. Environment Editor of the Daily Sceptic - no "settled" science allowed.

In this episode, Tom interviews Chris Morrison about his work with the Daily Sceptic, highlighting the publication's role in challenging mainstream narratives on COVID-19, climate change, and net zero policies. Chris elaborates on their investigative efforts exposing flawed data and "junk science" used by institutions like the UK Met Office to justify climate agendas, while also discussing the broader collapse of net zero commitments worldwide. The conversation also touches on the political implications of these issues and the resistance they face from fact-checkers and mainstream media.

Roy Clark is a retired engineer with over 30 years of experience in new product and process development, including optical and spectroscopic measurements in adverse environments. He received his MA in chemistry from the University of Oxford University and his Ph.D. in chemical physics from Sussex University (UK; 1976).

He started his own independent research on climate change in 2007. His particular interest is time-dependent or dynamic-surface energy transfer and the calculation of surface temperatures from first principles. He has published several technical articles on climate change and co-wrote the book ‘Finding Simplicity in a Complex World – The Role of the Diurnal Temperature Cycle in Climate Energy Transfer and Climate Change’ with the late Prof. Arthur Rörsch.

After retiring from a career teaching physics, chemistry and biology, Lynne Balzer began organizing extensive notes from a decade-long investigation of the climate change issue. Considering all the facts and looking at the connection between the science, history and politics of this issue, Lynne reached the inevitable conclusion that “human-caused global warming” is one of the greatest hoaxes ever visited upon mankind. 

Working with Faraday Science Institute, a nonprofit organization, she has researched the topic of global climate change for thirteen years, sorting out fact from fiction.

I have a PhD and a Habilitation (the qualification in Germany which used to be the precondition for becoming a professor) in Physics.

In this episode, Joachim Dengler discusses the topic "Is Nature's Carbon Sink Failing?" Dengler explains his background and his research on climate modeling, highlighting recent theories about carbon sinks and emissions. He challenges mainstream views by asserting natural emissions' role and emphasizes the importance of considering temperature-dependent emissions when analyzing CO2 concentration data.

William (Will) Happer, the Cyrus Fogg Bracket Professor of Physics and one of the pioneers in the field of optically polarized atoms, transferred to emeritus status at the end of the 2014 academic year. Will is known for developing rigorous theories to analyze his elegant atomic physics experiments as well as for extensive service to Princeton and the U.S. government. His research has initiated several vibrant fields outside of atomic physics.

He has published over 200 scientific papers. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society and American Association for the Advancement of Science, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society. He was awarded the 1997 Broida Prize and the 1999 Davisson-Germer Prize of the American Physical Society.

In this episode, Will Happer discusses the controversial and often politically charged field of climate science, critiquing its strong alignment with political agendas and the suppression of dissenting voices. He expresses hope for more rigorous scientific reviews and red team analyses under new leadership, drawing parallels to historical examples of scientific suppression and resilience. Happer also highlights his own scientific achievements, including the development of adaptive optics using sodium guide stars, and underscores the importance of practical experience and genuine scientific inquiry in fostering a more scientifically literate society.
