Live at 1 PM ET: Climate Scientist Fired. Was It For Countering the Narrative? — The Climate Realism Show #210

One of Denmark’s most internationally recognized climate researchers, Dr. Henrik Svensmark, was just sacked from his long-time position at the Technical University of Denmark. Unlike many climate scientists, Svensmark conducted actual science experiments, and his work on the effects cosmic rays and clouds have on the climate was leading edge. He was fired after years of moves that look like they were purposely trying to push him out. What happened? Is it because his work didn’t support the alarmist climate narrative? We will have Dr. Svensmark on the program to get the story directly from him.

On Episode 210 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Sterling Burnett, Jim Lakely and Henrik Svensmark will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week. Is climate change ruining summers for kids? Can wind farms help real farms? Is the best way to fight Net Zero through comedy?

Svensmark: Clouds are the mechanism

“During the last 100 years cosmic rays became scarcer because unusually vigorous action by the Sun batted away many of them. Fewer cosmic rays meant fewer clouds – and a warmer world.” [en.wikipedia.org], [quotefancy.com]

More important scientifically is Svensmark’s research conclusion:
“A large fraction of earth’s clouds could be controlled by ionization.” [climatedis…nnexus.com]

And from his 2000 review paper:
“During the last solar cycle the Earth’s cloud cover underwent a modulation in phase with the cosmic ray flux.” [ftp.space.dtu.dk]

That’s not what the alarmist climate industrial/university complex wants to hear. Cosmic rays aren’t taxable but CO2 emissions from FF sources are. Result, no research funding for Svensmark’s employer, no job for Svensmark. The surprise is his research lasted as long as it did. Good for him that he wasn’t in the USA.

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and swims like a duck, chances are very good that it’s a duck. His research threatened the now-struggling Climate Industrial Complex, so he had to go.
