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.00:00 What Science Really Is03:30 From Dissent To Dogma05:48 Blind Men And Autism09:04 Defining Autism First10:49 Why Autism Looks Bigger15:50 Genes Epigenetics And Timing18:36 Twin Studies And Disputes21:32 Diagnostic Drift And Labels26:24 Mental Health Incentives29:47 More Analogies Chrysalis30:11 Butterfly Spectrum Metaphor31:12 Gala Night Confrontation35:01 Amateur Versus Expert37:06 Autism Tsunami Claims39:32 Marxist Vaccine Narrative41:45 Denialism and Data43:49 Monocausal Vaccine Thesis45:59 Anger and Overcorrection48:08 Amish and Diagnosis Context51:44 Climate Analogy and Precision55:48 RFK Memory and Institutions57:25 Case by Case Conclusionhttps://x.com/@DrRandallBockAutism, Vaccines, and the Diagnostic Empire: https://randoctor.substack.com/p/autism-vaccines-and-the-diagnosticThe Truth About Autism and Vaccines Doesn’t Suit Either Side: https://dailysceptic.org/2026/02/14/the-truth-about-autism-and-vaccines-doesnt-suit-either-side/The Hidden Cost of Mental Health Parity”: https://brownstone.org/articles/the-hidden-cost-of-mental-health-parity/Unraveling Autism’s Surge: Genetics, Environment, and the Expanding Diagnostic Net https://randoctor.substack.com/p/unraveling-autisms-surge=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

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 ethical drift toward utilitarian public health, revisits historical narratives on smallpox vaccination and the 1918 “Spanish flu” (including a possible aspirin-toxicity role), and outlines the Finnish “Mika” case over vaccine restrictions.00:00 Meet Clare Craig09:26 Losing Trust In Institutions18:42 Ethics Nuremberg To Helsinki24:51 Smallpox Vaccine Origins29:10 Crude Early Vaccines29:58 Pushback and Belief30:49 Smallpox Vaccine Reality31:59 Monkeypox Emergency Politics33:57 Spanish Flu Numbers36:02 Two Pathologies Explained38:12 Aspirin Toxicity Theory42:24 Covid Wave Math45:00 Aerosols Everywhere48:05 Household Data and Vaccines52:18 Where Did Flu Go54:03 Dashboards and Modeled Data56:20 Human Rights Case Closinghttps://x.com/ClareCraigPathSpiked: A shot in the dark: https://a.co/d/4W8P2JD========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

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.00:00 Paul Burgess Returns: Introducing the Oceanic Solar CO₂ Index Update00:24 How the Index Matches Satellite Temps (and Why That’s Unusual)01:02 No Curve-Fitting: Validation, Critiques, and Why It’s Public02:19 Completing 2024–2025 + Switching UAH v6.0 to v6.103:42 Index vs Model: Fixed Formula, Inputs, and What It Can (and Can’t) Forecast05:01 CO₂ Contribution & ECS = 1°C: What the Index Implies07:01 Paper #1 Results: Record-Low PDO Stress Test and Fit Metrics11:43 From Statistics to Physics: Paper #2 on Oceans, Clouds, and Sunlight13:03 Clouds as Earth’s Thermostat: The ~2% Low-Cloud Change Claim15:58 Cloud Layers & Evidence: Low Clouds Drive the Signal17:58 IPCC Feedback Story Explained (and Critiqued)21:31 Chicken-and-Egg Problem: Ocean–Cloud Coupling and the 1–3 Year Lag22:00 Paper #3 Teaser: Testing Water Vapor, Albedo, and Cloud Feedbacks27:21 Key Takeaways: Albedo/Ice Changes Follow Warming + Better Cloud Observations28:19 Cloud Cover vs. Shortwave Radiation: What the Satellite Data Shows28:59 Takeaway #3: Low Clouds as an Ocean-Driven “Sunshade” (Not a Warming Amplifier)29:37 Four Key Lessons: Ocean Leads Clouds, and the Radiative Effect Matches30:57 Implications for Climate Sensitivity: Why Models May Overstate CO₂ Feedbacks32:07 How to Critique the Framework: Falsification Tests and Evidence Chain34:57 Extending the BOI Back to 1900: Data Limits, UHI Adjustments, and Out-of-Sample Logic36:12 Sneak Peek Results: BOI 1900–2025 and the 0.96 Correlation Claim40:23 Q&A: How the BOI Coefficients Were Built (Covariance Fitting, Weights, Inputs)43:51 Testing and Next Steps: Volcano Signals, Ocean Mechanisms, and Future Projections47:02 Forecast vs. IPCC + Wrap-Up: Cooling Possibility, Politics, and Contact InfoEmail: svsuliere@gmail.comExplaining Every Temperature Change from 1983 to 2025 - My Most Important Work Ever: https://substack.com/home/post/p-182701114Linking Ocean Heat, Low Clouds, and Sunlight In Burgess Oceanic index: https://paulburgess3.substack.com/p/linking-ocean-heat-low-clouds-andTesting Water Vapour, Albedo and Cloud Feedback with the Burgess Oceanic Index: https://paulburgess3.substack.com/p/testing-water-vapour-albedo-and-cloudClimate Realism by Paul Burgess: https://www.youtube.com/@ClimateRealism=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

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.00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:20 Journey into Virology and 2020 Events01:21 Geology Background and Climate Data04:48 Skepticism and Investigations10:28 Controlled Human Infection Models11:25 Spanish Flu and Historical Experiments15:42 Modern Virology and Contagion Studies31:36 Court Cases and Legal Battles39:01 Realizing the Potential of Independent Research40:21 Crowdsourcing and Engaging CROs41:16 Following Standard Laboratory Protocols41:56 Unexpected Findings in Cell Cultures45:22 Microscopy and Viral Morphologies49:36 Challenges with Mainstream Virology54:58 Genetic Sequencing and Future Research01:02:05 Debating Historical Disease Outbreaks01:10:20 Concluding Thoughts and Future Directionshttps://x.com/JamieAA_Againhttps://substack.com/@controlstudies=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

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.00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction00:38 Global Temperature: Physically Meaningless01:28 Thermodynamics and Its Importance02:26 Disagreement in Science02:58 Essex Etal 2007 Paper Discussion04:25 Defining Global Mean Surface Temperature (GMST)08:04 Temperature and Energy Relationship15:43 Critique of Nikolov's Claims34:26 Averaging Methods and Their Flaws49:28 Debunking Global Temperature Myths49:48 The Flaws in Global Temperature Estimation51:23 Classical Realism and Thermodynamics53:06 Critique of GMST and Climate Models54:23 The Paris Agreement and GMST55:47 Misconceptions in Climate Science01:14:21 The Role of AI in Climate Research01:20:03 Concluding Thoughts and Future Workhttps://jonathancohler.com/https://x.com/cohlerDDP July 2025 presentation: “The Father of Lies: Hijacking Climate Science - Jonathan Cohler”: https://youtu.be/o_YJgD5cy1IDDP July 2025 presentation: How well can we measure the Earth’s energy budget?

Steve Davies discusses the major themes of his new book ‘The Great Realignment: Why the New Right Wing Politics is Here to Stay,’ which analyzes the political upheaval since the mid-2000s. He explains how traditional left vs. right economic issues have been replaced by a new alignment based on nationalism vs. cosmopolitanism, driven by deep structural changes in the global economy and political landscape. Davies also touches on topics like digital IDs, the future of climate change policies, open borders, and the impact of emerging geopolitical shifts.00:00 Introduction to Steve Davies and His New Book01:32 The Great Realignment: Political Upheaval Explained03:17 The Collapse of Traditional Major Parties04:54 The Permanent Nature of New Right Politics05:35 Understanding Political Realignment09:40 The Shift from Economics to Globalization vs. Cosmopolitanism15:48 Material Causes Behind Political Changes16:44 Impact of Global Investment and Migration19:46 The Role of Meritocracy and Cultural Splits21:39 Climate Change in the New Political Divide27:09 Alternative Solutions to Global Problems29:41 The Future of the United Nations31:08 Global Power Shifts and the Decline of the UN33:49 The Looming Debt Crisis34:59 The Impact of Aging Populations on National Budgets37:12 Potential Solutions to the Debt Problem38:07 The Future of the US Dollar and Global Finance40:21 Public Spending and Corruption42:39 The Threat of Digital Dystopia47:14 Open Borders and Immigration Policies58:48 Final Thoughts on Future Political Landscapeshttps://x.com/SteveDavies365========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Alvin Wong, a researcher from the University of Hong Kong, discusses the significant yet often underestimated impact of volcanic eruptions on global weather patterns and climate change. Highlighting studies from various volcanic events, including the 1982 El Chichon and the 2021-2022 Tonga eruptions, Wong explains how volcanic materials and geothermal heat released during eruptions can alter atmospheric and oceanic systems, leading to extreme weather phenomena like heavy rainfall and altered ocean circulation. Wong calls for a greater consideration of volcanic activity in climate models to improve weather prediction and understanding of climate variability.00:00 Introduction to Alvin Wong and Volcanic Eruptions04:13 Hong Kong Rainfall Records and Volcanic Eruptions29:22 Geothermal Heat from Volcanic Eruptions32:48 The 2021-2022 Hunga Tonga Eruption46:50 Global Impact of the Hunga Tonga Eruption01:02:04 Short-term and Long-term Effects of Volcanic Eruptions01:10:14 Volcanic Eruptions and Extreme Weather Events01:17:03 Future Research and Predictions01:24:17 Conclusion and Final Thoughtshttps://volcanostudygrouphk.wordpress.com/author/taipofo/========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
