Gilles Bourgeois: “Flat-Earth Cold Sun Religion” | Tom Nelson Pod #345
Gilles Bourgeois argues that the greenhouse effect is a deceptive construct and not based on real science. He emphasizes the importance of objectivity and rational egoism over mysticism, particularly in the context of climate change discourse. Bourgeois presents scientific principles and philosophical ideas, primarily referencing Ayn Rand and Aristotelian logic, to counter what he terms 'climate religion' and advocate for a clearer, rational understanding of science and morality.00:00 Introduction and Purpose00:34 The Concept of Mysticism and Secular Religion01:44 Morality and Rational Egoism02:46 Personal Background and Relevance04:59 Philosophical Foundations: Plato vs. Aristotle07:52 The Role of Altruism and Rational Egoism in Society11:12 Historical Context: Rome and Western Civilization16:45 The Influence of Aristotelian Philosophy20:19 Critique of the Greenhouse Effect25:00 Correcting the Misconceptions27:03 Debunking the Greenhouse Effect28:16 Thermal Energy Transfer in the Troposphere32:08 The Role of Water Vapor34:53 Refrigeration and Energy Balance37:24 Concluding Thoughts on Climate Science40:51 Philosophical and Moral Implications43:12 Final Remarks and Recommendationshttps://x.com/Gilles_Borghese—Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1

Donna Laframboise: Thank You, Truckers! | Tom Nelson Pod #343
Independent journalist/photographer. A career challenging dogma re climate, feminism, Canada's legal system. Grew up working class (dad: auto mechanic, mom: never finished high school). Never been politically correct, never been a member of the media inner circle.Donna Laframboise discusses her latest book, 'Thank You Truckers Canada's Heroes,' which chronicles the 2022 trucker convoy in Ottawa against COVID-19 mandates, highlighting the misrepresentation by mainstream media and the heartwarming solidarity among ordinary Canadians. She explains the hardships faced by the truckers, the public's overwhelming support, and the subsequent mistreatment by the government, including the freezing of bank accounts and severe penalties for non-violent protesters. Additionally, Laframboise provides insights into her previous investigative work on the IPCC's climate change reports and raises concerns about the current media landscape and political dynamics in Canada.00:00 Introduction to Donna Laframboise01:15 Media Coverage and Public Perception01:50 Writing the Book: Thank You Truckers04:23 Impact of the Trucker Convoy05:25 Freezing Bank Accounts: A Civil Liberties Issue08:12 Distrust in Media and Government09:05 Class Divide in Journalism11:44 Protesters' Motivations and Stories16:07 Support from Ordinary Canadians19:19 Mark Carney and Canadian Politics24:19 Climate Change Skepticism27:03 Crowdsourcing the IPCC Report28:53 The Delinquent Teenager Book31:10 Current Projects and Book Promotion33:29 Heartwarming Stories from the Freedom Convoy38:55 Legal Battles and Government Response46:35 Comparisons and Broader Implications52:05 Concluding Thoughts and Reflectionshttps://x.com/NOconsensushttps://thankyoutruckers.substack.com/Donna’s books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00EZWIV7S/allbooks?ccs_id=07ceaeb3-071d-4bb2-91cc-106c0fa6753c=========My Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
