Nov 25, 2023 No TWTW this weekend.
TWTW will resume the weekend of December 2. One event of particular interest is the posting of the talk by John Clauser, 2022 Physics Nobel Laureate, a retired experimental and theoretical physicist. See link below
  Challenging Climate Change
With John Clauser, Deposit of Earth Coalition, Nov 14, 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsXipMz2seY
[SEPP Comment: John Clauser’s talk starts about 33 minutes in – The planet is not imperiled. Recognizes the work of Will Happer, Arthur Robinson, Willie Soon, Fred Singer, Richard Lindzen, Judith Curry and many others. And the work of a growing list of advocacy groups including the Heartland Institute, the Non-Governmental International Panel on Climate Change, Access to Energy, the CO2 Coalition, Doctors for Disaster Preparedness, and Clintel’s World Climate Declaration.]

Feb 25, 2023 There will be no TWTW this week.

I'm returning from the superb 15th International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC) that concluded last night in Orlando. The conference featured excellent presentations on diverse topics by knowledgeable speakers who understand the strengths and weaknesses of different views on climate change and energy policy. The speakers encouraged individual thought, rather than reinforced groupthink. This was the best ICCC conference yet!  

TWTW will resume on March 4 with discussion on some of the 15th ICCC topics key to TWTW.
