What is "Green Religion"? Is it having an impact on modern environmentalism? And what effect is it having on the way people think and behave? Joining us to discuss these issues is Dr. James Wanliss, Associate Professor of Physics at Presbyterian College, Clinton, South Carolina, and author of the book: Resisting the Green Dragon; Dominion, Not Death.

Dr. Wanliss holds degrees in Applied Mathematics and Physics (from the University of Cape Town), a Master's in Geophysics (from the University of Witwatersrand) and a PhD in Physics (from the University of Alberta, Canada). His scientific interests centre in plasma physics, nonlinear dynamics, and space weather; he has published over 60 peer-reviewed scientific articles, mainly in the Journal of Geophysical Research and Geophysical Research Letters; and he has also published in psychology and medical areas, and popular Christian journals.

For a third time we're joined by Dr. Tim Ball, retired professor of Climatology at the University of Winnipeg. As public scepticism towards the theory of human-produced climate change continues to rise, the UN is gradually shifting its focus to a different target for global environmental alarmism: Peak Water.

Inspired by Peak Oil theory, and heavily reliant on philosophical assumptions, is Peak Water set to become the new global eco-scare, designed in accordance with the aims of Agenda 21 to persuade the world to embrace a New World Order?

For the short summer break, we take the opportunity to present the astonishing testimony of Dr. Don Easterbrook to the Washington State Senate Energy, Environment and Telecommunications Committee on the 26th of March 2013. In no ordinary presentation, Dr. Easterbrook (Professor Emeritus of Geology at Western Washington University) bombards the committee with an overwhelming arsenal of data and observations contrary to the theory of anthropogenic global warming. As the Internet jargon goes, this is a "must listen."

"When we allow science to become political then we are lost. We will enter the Internet version of the Dark Ages, an era of stifling fears and wild prejudices, transmitted to people who don’t know any better."

(Michael Crichton)

So prefaced, is the website of Dr. Tim Ball, retired professor of Climatology at the University of Winnipeg, who joins us for an in-depth interview on the history of the politicisation of Climate Science. From the genius of Maurice Strong and the machinations of the IPCC, to the famous Hockey Stick Graph and Climategate, Dr. Ball explains with precision and ease.

According to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPPC), Global Sea Level is rising at an alarming rate, threatening millions who live in coastal regions and islands around the world, thanks to the global-warming activities of human beings on planet Earth. To challenge these claims, we are joined by Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner, former Expert Reviewer for the IPCC, and erstwhile Head of Paleogeophysics & Geodynamics at the University of Stockholm in Sweden, whose research into sea levels around the globe paints a very different picture.

Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com joins us to discuss his recent Climate Depot Round Up: "The great warmist retreat has officially begun. The mainstream media cannot maintain the official man-made global warming narrative any longer." In a characteristic tour de force of climate-realist commentary, Marc also addresses Climategate 3.0, how massive public funding has distorted science through incentivising pro-warmist research, and why Climate Science is the new astrology.

What is the true nature of the hypothesis of Anthropogenic Global Warming Climate Change Climate Disruption Global Weirding? Is it scientific? Or is it essentially political? Joining us to affirm the latter, and to express his concerns about current geo-engineering programmes, is Dr. Eric Karlstrom, Emeritus Professor of Geography at California State University, Stanislaus, and long-time researcher in Quaternary Paleoclimatology.
