From July 13th 2013 in Houston. I was invited to give a presentation, and I adapted Dr. Matt Ridley’s excellent essay: A Lukewarmer’s Ten Tests and added supporting graphs and commentary along with my own work and findings. The video follows.
The video is 53 minutes long including Q&A.
I’m sure some people won’t like what I have to say, and/or will take issue with it. For those that will immediately pounce on the location, Houston, to suggest “big oil” was involved, I’ll provide full disclosure. There was mostly an aerospace interest due to Houston’s role in the space program, there was not a hint of the oil industry there.
I received airfare compensation, meals, and lodging, plus $250 for my three days of time (two of which were travel) for speaking. Compare that to what Al Gore gets.
I welcome suggestions readers might have for improvements to the presentation.

Is there any part of climatology that DOESN’T have Catastrophic Failures of Quality Control?
Seems to be something that climos aren’t much concerned about….But bad data —> bad science.
Thanks Anthony. I really enjoyed your presentation. You should do more of them.
Looking forward to your paper. Go Thorium!
Many thanks to Anthony for this worldclass talk.
I sometimes have the feeling, that our fight against this CAGW-scam might be in vain. There is a strong catholic church despite losing one fight about truth after the other. Homoepathy is stronger than ever, at least in germany, and people believing in it, don’t care at all, if there is any scientific disproval or not! This might sound a bit pessimistic, but I won’t give up arguing.
Wow! Anthony…HOME RUN with regard to calm, sensible, referenced, and well put together
presentation. And NO don’t apologize in the least for pointing out the “end game” (i.e., the economic consequences of “shutting down” the current oil/gas/coal run systems!!!)
That was a great and entertaining talk!
Could that soot also be from volcanic ash?
Anthony,
Thanks for posting this video and thank you for your efforts on behalf of honest science. The world truly owes a debt of gratitude for WUWT!
Thanks!
The truth will out.
More, please.
Very impressive presentation Anthony. More convinced than ever that siting is a HUGE issue.
Thank you Anthony, an excellent presentation.
Hi Anthony- A very valuable and informative presentation. I hope you do more of these!

Anthony, very interesting talk. Nicely tailored to the MDs.
Expand your communications reach, and that of cogent correspondents to your blog (like WE) even if we have fundamental disagreement on other energy matters.
Easy admonition, harder in reality…but vital. Your recently posted Paucheri’s misrepresentation of his own SREX findings is a good example that this is just now a PR war. (Extremes were among the last refuges for climate scoundrels until the SREX findings published saying they were not). Your recently posted expose (aided by WE) of U. Arizona climate change study along AFH 39 (despite devastation by two famous forest fires) is another.
This used to be a ‘battle’ about the scientific data. That is over. Skeptics have won based on facts like your biased US stations. Now it is a political PR battle to preserve a meme justifying political actions. You have one of the very powerful platforms opposite Obumer. Lets all figure out how to usefully extend your platform to help conclude this ‘war’.

Excellent job.
Anthony,
Excellent presentation, I enjoyed it immensely as did my daughter who is starting college this year. Thanks!

Having spent all (or most) of my life as profesional salesman, I am not scientifically educated.
However, I was able to follow your presentation very easily.
The inescapable conclusion (in my opinion) is that regardless of any data or measurements of any kind, the band waggon will continue to roll and the cliff over which it will eventually fall, seems further away than ever.
Latching on to CO2 pollution (Obama’s term, I think) will be very difficult to counter.
Well done. A calm, rational approach to the climate “problem”. Or, as Zero would put it, “a meeting of the Flat Earth Society”.
What an excellent presentation, Anthony. I really enjoyed it thoroughly – easy to understand and presented very well.
I am intrigued though by your mention of the change of the temperature screens in 1979, from being whitewashed to being painted. I believe you mentioned that the tests you ran showed that this meant a 1 degree increase in heat from whitewash to paint, and that it was in 1979 that global warming took off as a measurable “fact.” I wanted to hear more about this area.
Still watching and enjoying the presentation.
$2,500 dollars for a battery after two years sounds expensive. 10¢ per mile in battery costs alone?
An excellent presentation Anthony. As far as any suggested improvements, the section (7) on adaptation might have been a bit short but heck, detailed coverage of each section along could take up considerably more time that the entire presentation.
Well done Anthony. I vowed the whole presentation in New Zealand, just 3 hours after your posting. Another example of how communication is happening so fast these days. And not only that. I am now communicating back to you! I am sure you have been told many many times how important your blog is. it is indeed of international significance. God bless and keep up the good work.
Excellent presentation. Your posts accelerated my transition from alarmist to skeptic.

A fine presentation that is clear and thoughtful. If only you would make a rebutal for theatrical release titled “Some TRULY Inconvenient Facts, (or how I learned to stop worrying about the weather and love life)”
Reblogged this on TrueNorthist and commented:
Some Truly Inconvenient Facts.
Great stuff! I like the intro, that solar stuff / electric car / early Warmist activism disarms a lot of potentially hostile people.
