The MARTINZ Critical Review - Ep#56 - An in-depth look at climate alarmism - "Revenge of the D Students" - with Dr Willie Soon, PhD

The MARTINZ Critical Review

In today’s episode we continue our investigation into the actual science behind the Earth’s ever changing climate, and seek to provide clear evidence to counter the bogus mainstream narrative. As our previous guest Dr. Richard Linzden has declared, climate alarmists are pursuing their "Revenge of the D Students".

Today we are very fortunate to have Dr. Willie Soon, an renown astrophysicist and geoscientist, and a leading authority on the relationship between solar phenomena and global climate. Dr. Soon earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in Science and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the University of Southern California

Dr. Soon is an astrophysicist at the Solar, Stellar and Planetary Sciences Division of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, a position he has held since 1997. He has served as receiving editor for New Astronomy from 2002-2016, the contributing editor for Environment & Climate News from 1997 to 2000, and as an astronomer at the Mount Wilson Observatory from 1992-2009. He is also a policy advisor to The Heartland Institute.

His discoveries challenge computer modellers and advocates who consistently underestimate solar influences on cloud formation, ocean currents, and wind that cause climate to change. He has faced and risen above unethical and often libelous attacks on his research and his character, becoming one of the world's most respected and influential voices for climate realism.

Dr Soon has earned numerous awards during his career, and has been a prolific author of scientific literature. Dr. Soon's honors include a 1989 IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society Graduate Scholastic Award and a Rockwell Dennis Hunt Scholastic Award from the University of Southern California for the most representative Ph.D. research thesis of 1991.

In 2003, Dr. Soon received the Smithsonian Institution (Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory) Award in official recognition of work performance reflecting a high standard of accomplishment. In 2004, Soon received the Petr Beckmann award for courage and achievement in defense of scientific truth and freedom from the Doctors for Disaster Preparedness. In 2014, Dr. Soon received the Courage in Defense of Science Award from the George Marshall Institute. In 2017 he received the Frederick Seitz Memorial Award from the Science and Environmental Policy Project.

Dr. Soon is the author of The Maunder Minimum and the Variable Sun-Earth Connection (World Scientific Publishing Company, 2004). He is the coauthor, with Sebastian Lüning, of "Chapter 2: Solar Forcing of Climate" in Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science; the author of "Sun Shunned" in Climate Change: The Facts 2014; and coauthor, with S. Baliunas, of "A brief review of the sun-climate connection, with a new insight concerning water vapour" in Climate Change: The Facts 2017.
