I’ve been arguing with my husband. Not about anything important. Just about science, and in particular theories of climate change. He agrees with Dennis Armstrong who wrote me, “We are not aware that there is a current theory of human induced climate change. There are assertions that the burning fossil fuels by humans generates CO2 emissions, which is causing climate warming/change. … it can’t explain climate change past, present and future.”
In my next Zoom, Number 3, following on from interviews with Bill Kininmonth and Ivan Kennedy, I will explain why I disagree. I will make the case as follows and with examples:
- The current theory has a focus on radiative balance that is perceived to be perturbed by increasing levels of carbon dioxide.
- The current theory dominates thinking including by scientists who are darlings of conservative politics who often tangle themselves within its strictures.
- The current theory has been disproven over and over, but it doesn’t go away because rebuttals never win.
- The history of science shows that failed scientific theories are only ever replaced (never disproven), which is why there is such a pressing need for a new theory of climate change.
I am allowing 2 hours, with perhaps 30 minutes for my opening remarks and the rest of the time for questions and discussion.
I am planning this as three sessions to variously fit in with friends across different time zones.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
I have received requests for the audio/video of my interviews with Ivan Kennedy and Bill Kininmonth. I am learning how to edit audio and how to develop this and other interviews, including one I did with Alex Pope, into a podcast series. So, for everyone who did not attend previous webinars and meetings with Ivan Kennedy and Bill Kininmonth respectively, the information is not lost to you forever, but just until I launch my new podcast series that will perhaps be in July.
Thanks for your patience.
