Richard Lindzen & William Happer (2025) - Climate Science, CO2 and Political Corruption

This recap episode features Richard Lindzen and William Happer, who are both retired professors with backgrounds in atmospheric science and physics, respectively. The discussion focuses primarily on climate change, with the guests expressing scepticism about the prevailing narrative and the politicisation of climate science. Lindzen and Happer share their professional credentials and recount experiences where academic freedom and scientific integrity appeared compromised due to the immense funding and political power tied to the climate change agenda. They argue that the focus on carbon dioxide (CO2) as the primary driver of climate is flawed, pointing to historical climate variations, the greater impact of water vapor and clouds, and the economic incentives driving the current political response to climate issues.---We all love The Joe Rogan Experience and much prefer the real thing, but sometimes it's not possible to listen to an entire episode or you just want to recap an episode you've previously listened to.
