Will Happer: CO2, the Gas of Life | Tom Nelson Pod #158
William (Will) Happer, the Cyrus Fogg Bracket Professor of Physics and one of the pioneers in the field of optically polarized atoms, is transferring to emeritus status at the end of this 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.

Jon Pepper: Missy’s Twitch—new satire book on climate alarmism | Tom Nelson Pod #154
Jon Pepper is a novelist, entrepreneur, and business consultant based in New York City.
Missy’s Twitch is the fourth novel in his series, Fossil Feuds, centering on the bickering descendants of industrialist Homer Crowe and their battles with politicians, activists, competitors, and one another. Jon’s previous books were recommended by Kirkus Reviews (Green Goddess is “a rollicking ride” and Heirs on Fire is “wickedly funny”) and the New York Post (Heirs on Fire is “a clever corporate satire”).
A native of Michigan, Jon won numerous awards as a national writer and business columnist for The Detroit News. He was also a radio talk show host, president of a media firm focused on nanotechnology, and an executive for energy and automotive companies. He is president of the strategic communications agency, Indelable, which he co-founded in 2014.
Jon’s career as a journalist, executive, and entrepreneur affords him an inside view on the pressures of running an enterprise in a contentious world. With an eye for comic absurdities, colorful characters, and telling detail, Jon brings readers inside a fictional c-suite for an entertaining story.
“I’ve been a fan of satire since I opened my first copy of MAD Magazine as a kid,” Jon says. “Since then, I’ve gravitated toward send-ups of business and politics such as the movie, Office Space, the TV show, Veep, and the novels of Tom Wolfe and Sinclair Lewis. The biggest challenge in writing satire these days is staying ahead of the parody found in real life, which keeps catching up with my books.”
Jon and his wife Diane, a graphic artist who designed the covers of his books, reside in Manhattan.

Soon/Connollys: Challenges of the detection and attribution of global warming | Tom Nelson Pod #153
Dr. Willie Soon, an astrophysicist and geoscientist, is a leading authority on the relationship between solar phenomena and global climate. In this 32+ years of singular pursuit, he seeks to understand the Sun-Earth relations in terms of not only meteorology and climate, but also in terms of orbital dynamics of Sun-Earth-other planets interactions, magmatic (volcanoes) and tectonic (earthquakes) activities. His discoveries challenge computer modelers and advocates who consistently underestimate solar influences on cloud formation, ocean currents, and wind that cause climate to change. He has faced and risen above unethical and often libelous attacks on his research and his character, becoming one of the world's most respected and influential voices for climate realism. In 2018, he founded the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES-science.com) in order to tackle a wider range of issues and topics without fears nor prejudices.

Dr. Michael Connolly is an independent scientist, based in Ireland.
Lecturer and tutor at third level in the fields of physics, chemistry, electronic engineering, computer science, mathematics, and statistics.
I qualified as a plasterer in 1969, as an electrician in 1970 and have experience in all building trades. In 1975, I built our first house entirely on my own. The last time this house was sold it went for approx. $1 million. Since then, I have designed and built hundreds of buildings and houses.

About Ronan Connolly:
I am an independent scientist, environmentalist and writer.
My primary university degree was in Chemistry, and my PhD in computational chemistry/polymer physics. However, in 2004, I shifted to environmentalism, and began working with my father, Dr. Michael Connolly, on developing sustainable methods of fish-farming, aquaponics and waste-water treatment. We also carried out research into developing low-cost heat exchanger systems and new energy efficient building materials and techniques.

Gavin Noonan: Climate Change for the Lay Person | Tom Nelson Pod #152
About six years ago I set a goal to read 100 books for my own personal development and education. Two years later it became a 1000 book goal to educate and learn about the world and life.
Initially massively orientated around my professional life as a personal trainer I always want to still learn a far and wide as possible in all aspects to the human experience.
As a personal trainer I have studied over 15 000 hours on both my career and in my life passion of martial arts. However I have always tried to learn as broadly as possible about everything else I find interesting.

Jeremy Nieboer: The Greatest Deception | Tom Nelson Pod #151
JEREMY NIEBOER was educated at Harrow School and Oriel College Oxford. After a period practising as a member of the Bar in Kings Bench Walk he was later admitted as a solicitor becoming a partner in two City law firms. He specialised in corporate work, including mergers and acquisitions, capital market public offerings, private equity transactions and commercial law. Hestill acts for a few long-standing clients. His first encounter with any challenge to the accepted doctrine of ‘global warming’ came through his contact with Christopher Booker, whom Jeremy first met when acting as lead solicitor on the application by Lord Rees-Mogg to restrain ratification of the Maastricht Treaty. Christopher himself published his essential work The Real Global Warming Disaster in 2009. Just at the time of its publication, there was a public meeting in Church House addressed by Professor Plimer in which he succinctly set out the fundamental scientific flaws of alleged CO2 driven global warming. It was this that set Jeremy on a path of enquiry and research. Jeremy has since spoken at numerous meetings as to the want of any tenable scientific basis forthe vast proposed expenditure on the folly of de-carbonisation. He published his first booklet on climate alarmism with the Bruges Group in 2010, A Lesson in Democracy, and has been a leadspeaker at public meetings and debates on the subject.
Nieboer’s Climate trilogy, available on Amazon:
All is Well, All Will Be Well
CO2 Nature’s gift
Eco-Socialism
