Maaneli (Max) Derakhshani is a postdoctoral researcher currently based at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. He completed his Ph.D. in the Foundations of Physics at Universiteit Utrecht, and works in the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Gravity. Maaneli has published his research in journals such as Physics Letters A, Journal of Physics, Pure and Applied Mathematics Quarterly, Entropy, and Symmetry, and has served as an anonymous referee for Physical Review A, Foundations of Physics, Fluctuations and Noise Letters, Studies in the History and Philosophy of Modern Physics, The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, and Cambridge University Press; his work has also been covered in Science, New Scientist, EurekaAlert!, Phys.org, and the Clubhouse show It's About Time!, among other media outlets. Outside of physics, Maaneli has contributed a philosophical essay, “Another Thing in This Universe that Cannot Be an Illusion,” to the volume, Sam Harris: Critical Responses, and will contribute an essay to the upcoming volume, Steven Pinker: Critical Responses. Maaneli is also a member of the Manhattan Institute and Adam Smith Society therein, and works with them to advocate for free markets and limited government. His shift to a more sensible view about climate change was initiated by reading Thomas Gale Moore's, Climate of Fear: Why We Shouldn't Worry About Global Warming, a book enthusiastically endorsed by his favorite economist, Milton Friedman, for making a compelling case that global warming will most likely bring net benefits to the general public.

Former London banker Alexander Pohl worked for years for one of the world’s greenest banks. Idealistically driven, he financed big wind and solar farms, genuinely convinced he was making the world a better place. Gradually, he woke up to the fact that today’s green is a broken system. He gave up banking and emigrated with his family to his little forest paradise in remote, northern Sweden. The dream was to get back to Nature, start an eco-farm and put as much distance as he could between his family and the industrialization of nature. Until a wind park was planned at the gates of his paradise garden. — Headwind 21 documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RgyLDVlAg4 Q&A - HEADWIND"21, with Alexander Pohl and Marijn Poels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXEQEZS4000 Alexander mentions this short video: “Allen Savory - What Is Science?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGDbpg1nG8Y 00:00 Introduction 02:46 Learning how the world works 06:00 Leading Climate Business for HSBC 06:54 Sometimes you get blinded by your passion 07:53 Escape to Sweden 09:45 Headwind 21 13:50 Wind power propaganda 16:45 Insane amounts of money wasted 21:42 Wind farm fraud led Alexander to many other places 24:17 UN/WEF partnership 27:09 Myriad of green fraud 29:00 Do wind turbines create millions of jobs? 31:16 Politicians are like actors with scripts 31:55 Who funds The Guardian? 35:23 Rockefellers 37:11 Conflicts of interest 38:43 Wallenberg family 40:23 Strange influence of Sweden on global views 45:20 Alexander's journey 46:56 Talking to 350.org folks 48:01 Greta protesting wind power 50:49 What is climate justice? —— https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 Tom Nelson's Twitter: https://twitter.com/tan123 Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomnelson.blogspot.com/2022/03/about-me-tom-nelson.html Notes for climate skeptics: https://tomn.substack.com/p/notes-for-climate-skeptics ClimateGate emails: https://tomnelson.blogspot.com/p/climategate_05.html

Edward J. Calabrese is a professor of toxicology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s School of Public Health and Health Sciences. Calabrese has done extensive research in the area of host factors affecting susceptibility to pollutants and is the author of over 750 papers in scholarly journals, as well as more than 10 books. He has been a member of the US National Academy of Sciences and NATO Countries Safe Drinking Water committees and on the Board of Scientific Counselors for the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. Calabrese also serves as chairman of Biological Effects of Low Level Exposures and as director of the Northeast Regional Environmental Public Health Center at the University of Massachusetts. He was awarded the 2009 Marie Curie Prize for his body of work on hormesis and is the recipient of the International Society for Cell Communication and Signaling–Springer award for 2010. He was awarded an honorary doctor of science Degree from McMaster University in 2013. His research has led to important discoveries that indicate that the most fundamental dose response in toxicology and pharmacology is the hormetic-biphasic dose response relationship. These observations are leading to a major transformation in improving drug discovery and development and in the efficiency of the clinical trial, as well as in the scientific foundations for risk assessment and environmental regulation for radiation and chemicals.

Simon Smith is the CEO and Founder of Excalibur.FM - the decentralised podcasting/audio platform.  Simon has had a career that has included many things. Starting out his career, working for a bank as a systems developer, he managed to escape the corporate world in 2004 and start making a living as a private trader in the futures market. He also became an Angel Investor in early stage tech and has been running the two investment strategies successfully alongside each other for the last 19 years. Having had multiple exits for the start ups he invested in and ridden out some very hairy investment cycles, he has achieved financial freedom, but still continues to work hard. Simon started investing in Crypto in 2013 and took a deep dive down that rabbit hole over the years to get a really good understanding of the technology and what it can do for us all. Bringing together his understanding of economics, finance, technology and the psychology of human incentives, he holds high hopes that decentralized systems can create a revolution in money, media applications and governance structures. He now runs a team of developers that he funds from the money that he has made out of crypto investing. They are building user applications on top of the block chain. The main application they are working on right now is Excalibur.FM, a decentralised audio application that enables creation of NFTs of their audio content.

Richard was born and raised in Stratford, Connecticut. As a combination of the Great Depression and WW II, it was a time of economic hardship as well as national wartime mobilization. Richard’s upbringing was deeply affected by “the war,” as well as the glory of living in a booming post-war period. Americans were the good guys – we had defeated fascism and imperialism. In 1950, a thing called The Korean War changed all that. After three years of lackluster police action, America accepted a stalemate. Richard by his own admission is an incurable romantic and altruist. America’s lack of outright victory in Korea deeply impacted Richard’s world view. Nonetheless, Richard’s writings and musings are filled with hope and bright horizons as he points the way towards a better internal mindset and a better world. Richard earned his Ph.D. in engineering from Purdue University, 1969. In terms of higher education, Richard was a product of the post-Sputnik era. He was trained to use science and mathematics to solve problems. Richard taught systems theory for three decades at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. Richard has researched and written about the causation of Earth’s periodic glaciations, i.e., ice ages. Richard authored and submitted his first peer-reviewed paper on glacial causation in 1972. His interest in ice age causation was prompted by an early report of Earth’s temperature history based on a Greenland ice core drilling. Richard has steadfastly and doggedly formed a working hypothesis that Earth’s periodic glaciations are internal to the earth and thus self-generating. His self-generating climate hypothesis stands in stark contrast to virtually all other candidate explanations. Most other candidate explanations start with the presumption that periodic glaciations result from external drivers. To date, all candidate external driver theories have failed to explain the extant climate history. The matter of explaining Earth’s periodic ice ages represents one of mankind’s most pressing and yet unsolved mysteries. Richard asserts that the present-day concern and alarmism concerning carbon emissions impacting Earth’s climate are without basis; as any discussion of climate alteration is pointless absent an understanding of Earth’s cyclical glaciation causation. Richard and his wife of 59 years reside in the St. Louis area. They have two grown children and six grandchildren.
