About Jonathan Cohler:

Graduated in 1980 from Harvard in Physics. Phi Beta Kappa. David McCord Prize.

Since the 2010s, I have guest lectured occasionally in the physics department at Harvard

Since the late 1990s, I have been keenly interested in the developing disinformation campaign often known as "climate science." I read extensively in this area.

In recent years, I have taken an interest in investigating so-called "AI" software, and the planned total take-over of public discourse by the big tech companies and their co-conspirators in our current government.

The discussion between Tom and Joe Duarte centers around Joe's criticism of the widely cited statistic that 97% of scientists agree on human-caused global warming. Joe argues that the study supporting this claim was fundamentally flawed and fraudulent, relying on a methodologically unsound review of abstracts by biased, non-expert individuals. He emphasizes the widespread dissemination and acceptance of this flawed study as evidence of institutional failure in academia and the media.
