Tony Thomas: Don't trust the media on climate | Tom Nelson Pod #108
TONY THOMAS has been a journalist in Australia since 1958 when he went straight from school at 18 to The West Australian newspaper, doing news and light features. He concurrently studied literature at university for eight years. In 1971 he switched to Economics coverage in the federal press gallery in Canberra, and a decade later he moved to Melbourne writing for the magazine Business Review Weekly for 20 years. He retired from paid journalism in 2001 but continues writing for the right-of-centre blog Quadrant Online. In the past ten years his output there has been 450-plus essays totalling about a million words. All up he’s been reporting for 65 years.
He’s authored close to a dozen books on anthropology, business, history, current affairs and climate, including five collections of his Quadrant essays in the past six years. See
https://www.connorcourtpublishing.com.au/Tony-Thomas_bymfg_59-0-1.html
Tony’s style is forensic and often humorous. He figures the most effective weapon against climate cultists is to ridicule them via their own overblown words and nonsense — with academics as one of his favourite targets. He continues to be amazed at how much incriminating material the climate cultists publish to their own detriment.
Tony turns 83 in June 2023 but has still not reached Shakespeare's finale of "second childishness and mere oblivion;
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.”
Preferred pronouns: Ze, Hir, Zir.
“Ze is a writer and wrote that book zirself. Those ideas are zirs. I like both zir and zir ideas.”

Harry Decker: Climate realism from a longtime Arizona resident | Tom Nelson Pod #103
After graduating from high school, HARRY DECKER spent ten years in the U.S. Air Force working with computers in military intelligence. He has lived in ten different states and took college classes in five of them. He never completed a college degree, however, due to changing his mind about his career. He has attended various technical schools over the years to keep up with the changing industry. In civilian life, he worked as a computer operator, programmer, technical writer, and tech support specialist for various companies such as Maricopa County, St. Joseph’s Medical Center, Information Network Corporation, and Charles Schwab International. His hobby at one time was tournament chess, but he dropped that and took up creative writing and filmmaking. He had a short story published five years ago titled “A. I. Gone Amok,” a fictional tale about the dangers of artificial intelligence and that the deep state was planning on releasing a virus that would kill millions. Now retired, he writes and directs plays. And he’s working on a short film. He has also written numerous technical reports over the past three years that challenge climate alarmist claims and the green agenda.
