Join us with environmental activist and barrister Polly Higgins to learn more! Polly Higgins (http://www.treeshaverightstoo.com) is an environmental activist, barrister, and international law designer who is about introducing the paradigm of Ecocide to the international courts of the world to stop corporations from being able to get away with the destruction of our planet, its resources and hold them accountable for their actions personally. She explains the personal responsibility side of environmental stewardship. We talk about many difficult and complex subjects, including governments, faulty and corrupt legislation, new consequences for committing ecocide and what a whole systems approach might bring to the overall perspective on climate and weather. Tune in and see what you think her perspective might bring to help make the world a better place. Back to Show Archive (http://itsrainmakingtime.com/category/shows/) Help this segment go viral.

Why don't modelers and empiricists see eye to eye on climate change? When one begins to examine climate science and politics, one awakens to the realization that there are essentially two types of climatologists: modelers (the simulators) and empiricists (the "data" people). These two camps examine data so differently that it is difficult to understand their views without knowing which method they use. This can drastically alter the information that is coming forth based on real or imagined/modeled data. Join us with George Taylor (http://appliedclimate.wordpress.com) as we discuss the differences between the two camps, why they are so critical in understanding the data we receive from climatologists around the world, and why it is so important to separate apples and oranges in the context of the climate change debate.

Peer review was established to ensure quality and accuracy of academic research and publications. As one university library tells students, “Peer review ensures that an article—and therefore the journal and the scholarship of the discipline as a whole—maintains a high standard of quality, accuracy, and academic integrity. When you consult peer-reviewed sources, you are tapping into a wealth of established, verified knowledge.” Does this mean non-peer reviewed materials have no value? What happens if academics refuse to peer review? Are they the only arbiters of quality and accuracy? Few people outside of academia know what it is or how it operates. Like most ideas and methods, Peer Review has evolved from its original purpose in ways that many academics never anticipated. Some of these were part of the scandals involving climate science and the perversion of scientific and academic method. While Peer-review has mostly been thought of as the way Ideas get their credibility, in fact, Peer Review has become an incestuous system that often invites corruption and territoriality so that most of the realm of new discoveries can't make their way to the world. The Peer Review Process is often antithetical to innovation and perpetuates prevailing knowledge. We need a new and better process and paradigm because of the hugely important implications for the betterment of all of society. Gavin Menzies (http://www.gavinmenzies.net), the author of 1421 and 1434 and Dr. Tim Ball (http://www.canadafreepress.com/writers/tim-ball.htm), a climatologist, teacher and writer from Canada joins us to lay out what we need to know about Peer Review to get us thinking about other ways of empowering discoveries throughout the modern world.

Lawrence Solomon shares a totally different perspective on the subject of climate change in his new book, the Amazon bestseller The Deniers: The World-Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political Persecution and Fraud (And those who are too fearful to do so). Mr. Solomon is a founder and managing director of Energy Probe Research Foundation (http://www.eprf.ca/eprf/index.html) and the executive director of Energy Probe (http://energy.probeinternational.org). He was instrumental in the founding of the World Rainforest Movement (http://www.wrm.org.uy/), Friends of the Earth Canada (http://www.foecanada.org/), and Lake Ontario Waterkeeper (http://www.waterkeeper.ca/). Dr. Solomon's 1996 model for the satellite tolling of roads has been adopted throughout the European Union. He holds patents for toll road technology for the EU, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Mexico, and Brazil. In this multifaceted segment, we discuss scientific consensus, what it means to be a "denier", simulations, peer review, carbon dioxide, Al Gore and his mentor Professor Roger Revelle, the climate of fear that permeates climate science, science funding, and toll roads.

Geologist and author Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner gives us the big picture. Perhaps the most graphically disturbing piece of information in the climate arena is the assertion that sea levels will rise to a catastrophic degree. An Inconvenient Truth scared many people, and the sea level issue continues to worry them. The imagery from the movie is still etched in our minds and hearts. Imagery is powerful even if it is untrue. It lingers in the subconscious mind, where it can affect our ability to think critically and receive whole-systems information. We must be vigilant to prevent this. In this show, Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner clarifies many misconceptions about rising sea levels (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/columnists/christopherbooker/5067351/Rise-of-sea-levels-is-the-greatest-lie-ever-told.html) and offers a comprehensive understanding of this subject. Dr Mörner is highly qualified to speak on the matter. He was the former President of International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA). Under his charge, when INQUA Commission on Sea Level Changes and Coastal Evolution, after deliberations and discussions at several international meetings, declared a possible sea level change of +5 cm ±15cm by the year 2100, it was based on a huge amount of world-wide data gathered by scientists from different parts of the globe. Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner got his Ph.D in geology in 1969, and has worked with sea level problems for 40 years in areas scattered all over the globe. As the head of Paleogeophysics & Geodynamics at Stockholm University, he worked with many different geological & geophysical problems. He organized two major international conferences: one on Earth Rheology, Isostasy and Eustasy in 1977 and one on Climate Changes on a Yearly to Millennial Basis in 1983. He has run several international field excursions through Sweedon and was President of the INQUA Commission on Neotectonics (1981-1989). He was President of INQUA Commission on Sea Level Changes and Coastal Evolution from 1999-2003. He headed the INTAS Project on Geomagnetism and Climate (1997-2003). In 2000, he launched an international sea level research project in the Maldives. Among his numerous publications, one may note the studies on: the interaction among isostasy and eustasy, the oscillating regional eustatic curve of NW Europe, the changing geoid concept, the redefinition of the concept of eustasy, the dynamic-rotational redistribution of oceanic water masses, the interchange of angular momentum between the hydrosphere and solid Earth, and finally the new sea level curve of the Maldives with an absence of signs of any on-going sea level rise. In 2008 he was awarded “The Golden Condrite of Merit” from University of Algarve (at an international sea level meeting in Portugal). Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner's (mailto:morner@pog.nu) extensive hands-on experience and 40 years of mindful focus bring valuable context to the climate change debate.

After spending hundreds of hours researching climate change and weather, it is clear that the climate debate is incomplete without acknowledging technologies in use worldwide that affect our atmosphere. In this fascinating interview, Angels Don't Play This HAARP author Dr. Nick Begich of Earthpulse Press (http://earthpulse.com) gives us the scoop on HAARP, energy weapons, and what happened to Nikola Tesla's inventions, patents, and information. He expands on the subject matter we first introduced in our December article on HAARP's disruption of the atmosphere with microwaves (../2009/haarp-microwaves/) and provides insight into its use for weather modification. HAARP, which operates below the radar of mainstream public awareness, has yet to emerge within the context of the Global Declaration of Climate Emergency. If more people were aware of these technologies, we would stop vilifying carbon dioxide (the breath of life (http://itsrainmakingtime.com/2009/co2/), according to Dr. Sherwood Idso) and redirect our focus on the misuse of electromagnetic and pulse energy weapons, the harmful radiation they emit, the havoc they wreak upon the environment, and how (amongst other technologies) it will alter and ruin this planet for generations to come.

We have heard plenty about diminishing polar bear populations and the loss of their habitats due to melting sea ice. I thought it was about time that we defined an initial frame of reference for polar bears in order to empower personal inquiry into their status. Dr. Mitch Taylor has 30 years of professional experience studying polar bears firsthand in the field. Consider this segment an introduction to polar bears through one man's professional life amongst them. Now more than ever, anyone doing this kind of work is worth listening to and learning from. Mitch Taylor's perspective is refreshing and rare. Despite the confusion and conflict surrounding climate, one thing is for sure: many of us are concerned about our friends, the polar bears. Spend some time with us and learn about these beautiful animals that many of us have come to love.
