Episode #098: Solar Variability Ignored / IPCC Mandates AGW / Dark Age Cold Period / CO2 Fertilization Effect

Summary

In this episode, Randall Carlson discusses recent events surrounding climate change and the benefits of carbon dioxide. He analyzes historical adaptations of pre-Viking societies to climate fluctuations, particularly during the Dark Ages Cold Period. Carlson also critiques the reliance on steady-state solar output in IPCC climate modeling, arguing that a more nuanced approach is necessary.

Transcript excerpt

Hi, I'm Chandler Garcia. As a PICU nurse and global health advocate, I've cared for women and children all over the world, from Costa Rica to Egypt to Kenya and beyond. And no matter where I go or how tough the conditions get, I always wear my figs. These scrubs are lightweight, breathable, and super soft, perfect for long shifts in any environment. They've got pockets in all the right places, the fit is flexible, and they're durable through every admission, surgery, and post-op. But it's not just about the scrubs. Another big part of what I love about figs is when they say they're committed to supporting healthcare workers all over the world, they mean it. I recently joined them on an impact trip to India where I worked in triage, caring for babies in a mobile clinic. My figs aren't just what I wear. They're part of the impact I want to make. Wherever my work takes me, figs helps me show up ready to make a difference while looking and feeling my best. Get 15% off your first order at wearfigs.com with code FIGSRX.

This is Cosmographia, the Randall Carlson Podcast, and it has been quite a while since we've recorded. It's been a minute. Yeah, a regular episode. It's been a minute for sure. We've all been doing trips, touring. I think Brad is still on the road. Randall's had many appearances in different places, but we're all back, even Mike, which I don't think he's ever left his house. I'm in my bunker. He's in orbit. Oh, yeah. Mike is in orbit. He can't leave without a spacesuit. ...
