Roy Clark: A Nobel Prize for Climate Model Errors | Tom Nelson Pod #271

Roy Clark is a retired engineer with over 30 years of experience in new product and process development, including optical and spectroscopic measurements in adverse environments. He received his MA in chemistry from the University of Oxford University and his Ph.D. in chemical physics from Sussex University (UK; 1976). He started his own independent research on climate change in 2007. His particular interest is time-dependent or dynamic-surface energy transfer and the calculation of surface temperatures from first principles. He has published several technical articles on climate change and co-wrote the book ‘Finding Simplicity in a Complex World – The Role of the Diurnal Temperature Cycle in Climate Energy Transfer and Climate Change’ with the late Prof. Arthur Rörsch. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Introduction 00:01 Background on Climate Modeling Errors 01:31 Manabe's 1967 Climate Model and Its Impact 03:42 Historical Context of Climate Models 08:07 Modern Climate Models and Their Flaws 12:47 NASA's Role in Climate Modeling 20:09 DOE and National Labs' Involvement 29:20 Critique of Global Mean Temperature Record 35:44 Radiative Forcing and Surface Temperature 53:16 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Slides for this podcast: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries A Nobel Prize for Climate Model Errors: https://scienceofclimatechange.org/wp-content/uploads/Clark-2024-Nobel-Prize-Errors.pdf About Roy Clark: https://co2coalition.org/teammember/roy-clark/ Reject NCA5: https://venturaphotonics.com/research-page-23.html ========= AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89cj_OtPeenLkWMmdwcT8Dt0DGMb8RGR X: https://x.com/TomANelson Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about
