Dear Maria,

This kind and nature of commentary does not inform the public about the facts that the guest presented, nor the issues about of the subject matter that are very deserving of immediate attention. What your comment does do is to attempt to discredit our guest and to subvert the guests input, experience and unsettling professional disenfranchisement and turn it into something it is not. People on many sides of the issue in so many professions either know someone, are funded by an institution, organization or, have some affiliation with others that do not 100% represent where they stand. This show is meant to engage a kind of dialogue that expands the commentary to go beyond the typical “so and so is in the pocket of so and so”. This just doesn’t fly here. What would be more useful to people is to specifically engage the guests points that you have issues with or thoughts about. This will inspire listeners to think more deeply about the matter. Thank you for commenting, but, please try to use the comment section in a more empowering way. If I have invited them on as our guest, I have already made the decision that they have something of vital importance to share with us. You may want to listen to The Whole Enchilada of work we have done on Climate.

Unsurprisingly, it’s been revealed that Dr. Soon, an astrophysicist with no climatology training, has been in the pocket of petroleum companies for at least a decade. To date there has not been a single contrary study on the subject of climate change that has stood up to scrutiny. I sincerely hope you will act responsibly and air an update.

I very much enjoyed the interview. My hat off to Kim for asking some good questions. Dr. Soon is a passionate and extremely bright truth seeker. I am very impressed. It’s difficult to imagine a more simplistic “scientific” approach to global warming than to say “Co2 is a greenhouse gas, the planet’s climate is changing (getting warmer), humans release a lot of Co2 into the environment, so therefore global warming is being caused by humans.” It seems to make some sense (to a child) when looked at very simplistically, but it obviously completely skips the scientific method and is complete pseudo-science. Real science will take into account all of the climate influences and drivers and all the evidence. It doesn’t pick and choose which evidence to use and how to present it in such a way so as to demonstrate a conclusion based on a predetermined agenda.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Willie and have read some of David’s material also. To me it seems that we are dealing with multiple things – climate change as a belief system in itself (it’s assumptions cannot be questioned) and a crisis in science bought about by the skewing influence of funding, where funding is dependent upon findings that fit the prevailing social/political and ideological views of the time. This is also a moral issue (not so much spiritual in my book). If scientists like Dr Soon back down to the pressure being exerted then debate is over and science is lost. He represents something bigger and that is the basis of human knowledge. I can see why Galileo is his hero.

Dear Dr. Willie Soon,
You are my new hero. You are a humble human of true and incalculable worth. May you live long and be heard. If only, IF ONLY! there were more of you …what a wonderful world this would be.

I have to say this interview was very unique. It was very informative and it has merit on that fact alone. (I am so relieved to know the polar bears are not suffering from a loss of ice in their environment.) BUT that is not the main reason that this interview held my attention. What really held me in awe was the soulful, intimate and passionate candor of Dr Willie Soon. I have a new hero. Although he has been ridiculed, marginalized, set up, silenced and thwarted time and time again by the (anti scientific) radical priests and followers of the Co2 religion, he continues to stand for conclusions based on hard scientific evidence. I also appreciate the supportive and candid comments by Dr David Legates. In a truly free and open society these men would be considered merely brilliant but in these strange days where talking about climate change is taboo, these men are are the real heroes and I salute their courage and commitment to speaking their personal truth which is NOT at all convenient! Thank you Kim for another outstanding show!

Jeff, isn’t it interesting to see Real Climate pointing out the “controversial record of past editorial practices” of Climate Research, when the recent Climategate scandal has shown much the same thing, only *worse*, occurring amongst pro-AGW publications and websites such as Real Climate. As a scientist myself, the suppression of alternative view points, not to mention the deletion and fabrication of climate data, ranks as some of the most disturbing things I’ve seen in my life — all of which has been revealed by the leaked CRU emails. Real Climate is very much the pot calling the kettle black, and Climategate has now proven that Real Climate has *zero* credibility, since it has long been supported by Michael Mann, a scientist who has engaged in extremely unscientific and totally unethical practices.

To Jeff Aitken,

I see plenty of ‘reputations tarnished’, and ‘editorial boards resigning’ but not one fact. Lots of important sounding journals, hungry for funding and advertising dollars, but where’s the beef?

Where is your argument, besides making this somehow about Dr’ Soon’s socio-economic status, and social standing amongst a funding cabal of liars and data fudgers who construct whatever model they need to sell at the next global climate conference.

I’m with the intelligent, meaningful discussion from these two men, and I’d bet anyone who took the time to listen to this would agree.

Besides, if CO2 is a pollutant, then we should all just kill ourselves before we wreck the planet.

Saw this link over on sott.net and checked it out. Excellent interview of professionals with the interviewer’s common touch of the public’s perspective in that all these lies and their messengers do serve to ‘wake us up’. I too came across much of this with what was called ‘Peak Oil’, and now we have global warming, ‘terrorists’ etc. It’s all a farce, and a lesson in awareness as some have put it, we live in a Purgatorial Maze that each of us has to learn to get out of for ourselves, and these liars serve as obstacles in our paths. They do serve a purpose. So let’s all thank Al Gore and his NWO friends for teaching us about their very real conspiracy against the rest of us that they consider ‘sheep’. It’s nice to know that not all sceintists are under the spell of the ‘dark’ crystal, as that kids movie put it. I find it necessary to keep this farce in perspective and such interviews as this one (Part 1 and 2) help.
Thank you.
