Matt Ridley discusses an NIH invitation from Jay Bhattacharya to speak on scientific freedom and argues the COVID-19 pandemic was more likely caused by a lab leak than a natural spillover, citing Wuhan research on engineered sarbecoviruses, lack of an infected animal host, and alleged cover-ups. He says scientific institutions resisted debate, harming trust in science, and notes historical lab leaks and ongoing biosecurity and bioterrorism risks. Ridley also critiques overclaims about COVID measures and vaccines and connects pandemic-driven skepticism to climate debates. He then explains themes from his books on progress and on bird sexual selection, lekking, bowerbirds...

David Brett, founder of The New Westminster Times, discusses a talk he gave on “eco fascism,” which he says originated with Greenpeace founders. Citing Patrick Moore’s book and his work at Green Spirit Strategies, he argues environmental activism is “90% communications,” using media “mind bombs” (dramatic imagery, celebrities, and litigation) to shape public opinion against mining, oil, forestry, and pipelines. He says Moore, a Greenpeace co-founder, has been “airbrushed” and smeared as disinformation. Brett critiques films like Anthropocene, “Sue Big Oil,” climate-emergency messaging, Greta Thunberg rallies, and NGO “youth washing,” and says activists link climate to Indigenous grievance. He urges industry to invest i...

Robert Cutler argues that climate patterns repeat about every 3,560 years (and 7,120), based on shifting proxy reconstructions—especially high‑resolution Greenland ice cores—and confirming with correlation analysis across Greenland cores, an Antarctic core, and lake sediment records from China and Alaska. He notes phase inversions possibly tied to ~2,400‑year Bray and Bond cycles and highlights alignments among events like the Younger Dryas, the 8.2 ka and 4.7 ka events, and the Dark Ages cold period. Cutler connects 3,560 to harmonics/subharmonics of Jovian-planet conjunction timing, the Jose cycle, and other periodicities (e.g., ~1,850 and ~890 years), suggesting strong non-subtle forcing possibly involving solar activity...

Randall Bock, a primary care physician and writer, discusses science as both knowledge and method, warning that post-COVID dissent can harden into new dogma. He argues the autism “epidemic” is confounded by shifting definitions, DSM changes, diagnostic substitution (notably from intellectual disability), incentives, and social context, making single-cause claims unreliable. Bock describes internal conflict with Brownstone and criticizes Toby Rogers’ vaccine-centered, revolutionary framing, including calls for massive reparations and abolishing vaccines, as unscientific moral certainty. He supports case-by-case risk–benefit thinking on vaccines and urges precise classification and evidence-led inquiry, comparing autism debates to oversimplified climate debates.

Author Peter Bailey, president of the Prouty Project in Minneapolis, discusses formative travel and life experiences that shaped his leadership work and book, "The Epic of You." He recounts teenage journeys to India and a six-month overland trip across Africa featuring malaria, scarce roads in the Sahara, forged passports, wildlife in Tanzania and Kenya, and a flash flood. He describes early struggles with low self-esteem, addiction and sobriety at 22, risky subway riding, and later adventures like a Wyoming rodeo fall and learning polo at 55. Bailey explains using Joseph Campbell’s heroic journey to reframe adversity, details his 13-minute TEDx ta...

Tom interviews British doctor Clare Craig about her new book (including a newly released audiobook) and her involvement in a European Court of Human Rights case. Craig describes being smeared and censored during COVID, alleging UK information operations involving the 77th Brigade and a Counter Disinformation Unit, and cites claims of UN/UNICEF-funded influencer campaigns and problematic WHO priorities. She argues COVID policies (lockdowns, masking, distancing) and vaccines failed to stop infection, severe disease, or death, critiques scientific publishing and peer review, and recounts a dispute with The Lancet over a myocarditis paper she says misused data. Craig discusses...

David Dilley, a former NOAA and Air Force meteorologist, says climate is driven by natural “climate pulse” cycles from Earth–Moon–Sun gravitational/electromagnetic interactions, not human CO2. He argues warming and cooling have repeated for centuries and claims Arctic ice loss since 1990 is mainly from periodic surges of warm Atlantic subsurface water about every nine years. He critiques NOAA temperature averaging and ice-core CO2 estimates, citing fossil leaf stomata to claim CO2 often exceeded 300 ppm and that most post-1850 CO2 rise is natural. He forecasts a global cooling cycle starting around 2030 lasting 60–75 years, with shorter growing seasons, possible food short...

Paul Burgess presents updates to his Burgess Oceanic Solar CO2 index, claiming it precisely matches satellite temperatures from 1982–2025 without changing its fixed formula, including UAH v6.1 and final 2024–2025 data despite a record-low PDO. He says the index is not a forecasting model and implies ECS is 1°C, with ~25% warming from CO2 and ~22–23% from human CO2 after outgassing. A second paper argues oceans drive low-cloud changes (1–3 year lag), with ~2% cloud decline explaining warming, challenging IPCC positive feedbacks. He previews an extension back to 1900 with ~0.96 correlation using a UHI adjustment (Connolly 2021) and invites critique by email.

Joseph Fournier presents “part two” on how Pacific Walker circulation controls Earth’s largest greenhouse effect: cloud longwave radiative forcing. He explains cloud radiative forcing terminology, cites literature claiming cloud greenhouse warming dwarfs CO2 forcing, and shows satellite-era links between trade winds, cloud shifts during ENSO, outgoing longwave radiation, and global/tropical temperature anomalies. He contrasts absorbed solar radiation, OLR, and Earth energy imbalance, arguing global averages can be dominated by regional Pacific dynamics. He reviews multidecadal “dimming/brightening” sunshine trends in Europe, Japan and the U.S., discusses aerosols vs natural drivers, and briefly addresses future uncertainty, AMO/IPO impact...

Jamie Andrews discusses his journey from geology to virology, questioning the mechanisms and validity of virus transmission and pathogenic theories, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on historical and contemporary controlled human infection studies, Andrews suggests that viruses do not spread as traditionally believed and criticizes the reliance on PCR tests for diagnosing viral infections. He also questions the role of global institutions in shaping scientific narratives, proposing that environmental factors and industrial toxins may play a more significant role in disease than viruses.

Jonathan Cohler and Willie Soon present a rebuttal to assertions made by Ned Nikolov about the physical meaning of global mean surface temperature (GMST). They argue that GMST is a physically meaningless statistical construct that cannot represent the Earth's thermal state or energy content due to its basis in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. They emphasize that temperature is an intensive property and its aggregation across different systems is fundamentally flawed from both mathematical and thermodynamic perspectives.

Author Ralph Pezzullo discusses his book 'Stolen Elections' based on a five-year investigation by government whistleblowers into the manipulation of elections via compromised software developed in Venezuela. The book details how this software, allegedly used to rig elections in 72 countries, was partly responsible for suspected fraud in U.S. elections since 2008. With insights from whistleblowers, computer experts, and endorsements from figures like Elon Musk, Pezzullo emphasizes the need to revert to paper ballots and ID-based voting to restore electoral integrity.
