Summary of Einar R. Bordewich: “This is a climate scam and it's a total hoax” | Tom Nelson Pod #73

00:00:00 - 00:35:00

Einar R. Bordewich, a Norwegian engineer with a background in astrophysics, discusses the climate realism movement in Norway and corruption within the education system in a recent episode of the Tom Nelson Pod. He is critical of the IPCC's messaging in books and plans to combat misinformation with interviews featuring a professor who points out these errors. Bordewich also talks about the negative impact of electricity market regulations and subsidies on those dependent on electricity, such as farmers. He argues that there are no real solutions to climate change and that access to the cheapest possible energy, whatever the source, is the solution to solving poverty. Bordewich believes that Western attempts to prevent bad weather and stop climate change by denying hydrocarbon energy to Africans are "straight up evil."

• 00:00:00 In this section, Einar R. Bordewich, a multi-disciplinary engineer from Norway, discusses his background in astrophysics and his education in high power electricity systems, computer science, microelectronics, and building engineering. He explains that he got interested in climate realism about five or six years ago due to his interest in astrophysics. Bordewich was previously part of a group of climate realists in Norway, but after the leader passed away and people took over with a different approach, he is no longer connected with them. Bordewich started the website facta360.no, which translates posts automatically into other languages, as he finds it interesting to keep updated on science news.
• 00:05:00 In this section, Einar R. Bordewich discusses the climate realism movement in Norway and the corruption within the education system, where books have been changed to align with the IPCC's messaging. He mentions plans to combat this with a future interview with a professor who has gone through the books and found misinformation, but also notes that academia and politicians are all promoting the same climate hysteria, and anyone who does not align with it is excluded or pushed aside. Bordewich also mentions the electricity cables established from Norway to Germany and England causing price increases, despite being assured by national institutions that prices would not go up.
• 00:10:00 In this section, Einar R. Bordewich discusses the negative impact of electricity market regulations and subsidies on farmers and people dependent on electricity. He talks about the political party he is a part of, Norgis Democrat, which aims to demolish every wind turbine in Norway and restore nature while dismissing the Paris agreement. He also mentions the increasing use of solar panels in new buildings but highlights that Norway's northern location makes it not the best place on Earth to use solar panels. Additionally, he discusses his article on the greenhouse effect and shares his findings on the logical errors in the energy balance equation used to calculate the greenhouse effect caused by CO2 and water vapor molecules.
• 00:15:00 In this section, Einar Bordewich discusses how the Stefan-Boltzmann law, originally developed for physical objects, cannot be applied to gases such as the atmosphere. Bordewich claims that there are many errors in the basic calculations of climate change and that the foundation for the calculations is totally wrong. The calculations rely on an idealized perfect black body radiation, which does not exist in the atmosphere or on any physical object. Bordewich is currently writing an article about the errors in the application of the Stefan-Boltzmann law, and emphasizes the importance of correctly calculating emissivity and not assuming that the Earth's emissivity is one.
• 00:20:00 In this section, Norwegian blogger Einar R. Bordewich talks about his enjoyment in engaging in conversations and writing articles about climate change. He notes that the arguments from the other side are based solely on politics, with no real scientific basis. Bordewich finds it amusing how those on the other side twist everything around, including referring to science pioneers, Galileo and Einstein, as science deniers. He also shares his experience with being censored on Facebook after publishing articles criticizing emotional political statements. While he has promoted his website on LinkedIn, there is no climate debate or sharing of information happening there according to Bordewich.
• 00:25:00 In this section, the speaker talks about Einar R. Bordewich, who is an expert in mining and also holds a PhD in climate, and his single formula that calculates the temperature dependent only on the pressure, the total density of the atmosphere, the particles included, the gas constant, and one more number. This formula works for all planets and is also correct for any Earth height. Doubling CO2 with this formula would not have an effect, but for Venus, where CO2 is 90% and CO2 molecules are much heavier, it has a tremendous effect. The speaker believes that the climate hysteria is not based on physical science but politics, with the goal of wealth distribution and the green industry wanting money from the oil industry. There is also an establishment of an international company called Green Cicero, which is in cooperation with credit evaluation companies. Companies not green will get a bad score while those green will get a good one. This method is causing economic fascism and crushing developing countries by not getting loans to finance their energy development based on oil or gas.
• 00:30:00 In this section, Einar Bordewich discusses what he calls the "fascist tyranny of the economic scale" that is the government's control over energy sources and their implementation of green certificates. He argues that this is a combination of communism and fascism, and that it is a redistribution of the free market. Bordewich believes that this is a scam and not based on science. He predicts that it will eventually crumble, but it may take a generation or two and will require the removal of "idiot" politicians. He also calls out the world economic forum's investigation into getting people to eat bugs and the tracking of individuals' CO2 footprints, which he sees as a total control over people. Bordewich argues that the government should prioritize education and health over climate change.
• 00:35:00 In this section, Einar R. Bordewich argues that addressing climate change is not the solution to the world's problems. In particular, he notes that burning wood to generate energy is what causes the most harm to people, as those living in poverty cannot afford cleaner energy sources. Bordewich contends that the ability to give people access to the cheapest possible energy, whatever the source, is the solution to solving poverty. He argues that there are no real solutions to climate change, as the focus on CO2 emissions is preventing some African countries from utilizing their coal reserves and transitioning their populations out of poverty. Bordewich believes that Western attempts to prevent bad weather and stop climate change by denying hydrocarbon energy to Africans are "straight up evil".
