00:05:00 In this section of the podcast, Alexander Pohl discusses the massive funding for green initiatives, specifically the Climate Bonds Initiative, which raised 1.2 trillion dollars last year. He notes that while this is a significant amount, there is growing resistance to the climate agenda, with some critics labeling it as fishy or even a scam. Pohl also mentions that climate is being linked to various politically charged issues, such as gender and defense, and that there are signs that the public is waking up to this and questioning the experts' narratives. He cites the closure of organizations like the Daily Skeptic and The Climate Nexus, as well as the departure of Gavin Schmidt from Twitter, as evidence of this trend. Pohl also mentions his own efforts to reach out to journalists and organizations pushing back against the climate narrative, including Marcel Crok and Clintel. He acknowledges the challenges of navigating the complex and paradoxical nature of the climate debate, where definitions and phrases can be used to mean different things.
00:10:00 In this section of the "Alexander Pohl: The Green Industrial Complex" podcast episode, Tom Nelson discusses the influence humans have on the climate and the use of geoengineering as an example. According to Pohl, humans have been manipulating the climate for decades through various means, such as cloud seeding and deforestation, to benefit industries like agriculture.
