Summary of David Dilley: Signals that global cooling is beginning | Tom Nelson Pod #97

00:00:00 - 00:40:00

David Dilley, a meteorologist and climatologist, discusses the signals that global cooling is beginning. He explains that global cooling starts at the poles and that the Arctic had the coldest spring and summer on record in 2022. Dilley also talks about carbon dioxide and how levels estimated in ice cores have been underestimated by about 25 percent, leading to the mistaken belief that current carbon dioxide levels are entirely caused by fossil fuels. Dilley predicts that global cooling is taking hold, and fossil fuel burning will not be enough to warm the planet, given that CO2 is such a small factor in warming. He also discusses the misconceptions surrounding carbon dioxide's role in climate change and advocates for educating government officials and the public on the real science behind climate change and the importance of carbon dioxide as a nutrient for plant life.

• 00:00:00 In this section, David Dilley, a meteorologist and climatologist, discusses the signals that global cooling is beginning. Dilley explains how global warming is caused when the Arctic and Antarctic warm up, less cold air is available, and it warms the mid-latitudes. Similarly, global cooling begins at the two poles, and in 2022, the Arctic had the coldest spring and summer on record. Dilley also talks about carbon dioxide and how levels estimated in ice cores have been underestimated by about 25 percent, leading to the mistaken belief that current carbon dioxide levels are entirely caused by fossil fuels.
• 00:05:00 In this section, David Dilley discusses his research on the rise of carbon dioxide levels since 1850 and found through peer-reviewed journal data and his own research that the rise is 80% natural rather than 100% fossil fuel. Dilley further explains the natural cycles of Earth, Moon, Sun interactions and shows that we are currently cooling down because we are 8,000 years off the peak and are in a natural cooling phase. He also mentions shorter cycles such as the 1-month, 230-year, and 9-year cycles and how Dr. Reed Bryson had done research on it, but did not continue due to peer pressure in the university.
• 00:10:00 In this section, David Dilley explains how the gravitational pull between the Moon and Earth can impact weather patterns and create cyclical climate changes. The Moon's elliptical orbit causes stronger gravitational pulls when it reaches closer proximity to Earth, resulting in higher tides and potential effects on high-pressure systems. Dilley also notes that the global warming cycles that have occurred throughout history match up with a 230-year gravitational cycle, meaning that the current Arctic meltdown can be attributed to a warm pulse of North Atlantic Ocean water that occurred in 1990, coinciding with a peak in the gravitational cycle. Dilley predicts that this pulse will continue to cool down, leading to global cooling instead of continued warming.
• 00:15:00 In this section, it is explained that global warming and cooling cycles are largely dependent on natural cycles of climate pulse gravitational cycles, and previous global warming cycles have lasted for about 230 years on average. The North Pacific is set to cool down and remain cool for the next 30 years, as the region is currently in its cool phase. This cooling of the Pacific Ocean will also result in sea levels decreasing slightly. Climatic changes are expected, such as changes in atmospheric circulation, due to the natural cycles of the climate pulse gravitational cycles. Everything is gelling, and we are moving into global cooling.
• 00:20:00 In this section, David Dilley talks about how global cooling is beginning and how it will cause unexpected climate change that a lot of people are unaware of. He discusses the historical global warming cycles and the strong volcanic eruptions that occurred, causing what he calls the "year without a summer." Dilley believes that there is an 80% chance that a similar event will occur again between now and 2050, causing massive food shortages, civil unrest, and the biggest human disaster in history. He suggests that people should prepare by storing extra food for at least seven years of famine and potentially converting empty buildings into greenhouses to grow food.
• 00:25:00 In this section, David Dilley explains that global warming is not a problem and that global cooling is by far more dangerous, especially since there are so many people on Earth. He discusses how gravitational pull during strong cycles can cause bulges and shifts in the Earth's plates, leading to increased seismic activity including earthquakes and volcanoes. Dilley believes that we are going to see cooling between now and 2050, with every El Nino event causing a cold winter in The United States, historically speaking. He also expects Arctic and Antarctic ice to increase while temperatures will decrease over time, leading to crop failures and other issues we are not prepared for as a society.
• 00:30:00 In this section, meteorologist David Dilley predicts that the Atlantic Ocean will cool down in the 2030s, leading to very nasty weather. He believes that gravitational cycles will have a greater impact on weather than solar cycles. Dilley also predicts a progressive cooling, taking us to increasingly cooler temperatures, and believes that there will be no more sea level rise in the Pacific as it cools down. He adds that global cooling is taking hold, and fossil fuel burning will not be enough to warm the planet, given that CO2 is such a small factor in warming.
• 00:35:00 In this section, David Dilley discusses the misconceptions surrounding carbon dioxide and its role in climate change. Dilley argues that CO2 only makes up 0.04% of atmospheric gases and that its effects have been overblown by what he calls "political science." He suggests that grant money has dictated much of the research, leading to a focus on human-caused global warming rather than natural cycles. Dilley advocates for educating government officials and the public on the real science behind climate change and the importance of carbon dioxide as a nutrient for plant life.
• 00:40:00 In this section, David Dilley discusses how people are often misinformed about the role of carbon dioxide in climate change. He mentions a U.S representative who asked a group what percentage of atmospheric gases was carbon dioxide, and the answers ranged from 2-8 percent when it's actually only 0.04 percent. Dilley believes that young people are not being taught the truth about climate change and that the media is not helping. He mentions that podcasts are helpful in spreading information and hopes that his content can reach a wider audience. He argues that a change in leadership and political direction is necessary before it is too late to correct the effects of climate change.
