Why am I taking the time out of my VERY busy life, to periodically write this column? As you know, unlike many other Substack authors, my column is FREE — so I’m not doing this for the money. (BTW, a LARGE number of subscribers have formally offered to pay for my insights, but I have politely declined them all.)
It’s not for notoriety either, as I’m already notorious. For example, about ten years ago I was put in this esteemed collection of nationally well-known individuals who were not buying into the politically correct position regarding global warming:
(The fact that I’ve never smoked, and only drink beer should give you a good indication of the accuracy involved here.)
Another example is this national Sierra Club Report. On page 16 it essentially says that I have as much influence over US energy policies as the Koch brothers! As billionaires, their influence is from funding organizations, etc, while I fund no one. Instead, my “influence” comes from educating the public (like this Substack).
Another (and thankfully last) example that I’m going to give, is this strong story that appeared in the Scientific American. The over-the-top title tells you all you need to know.
Furthermore, I don’t really have the time to write here. In addition to being the primary caregiver for my very sick wife, I have numerous other obligations. My time is so pressed that I haven’t been able to read a book in over ten years.
So none of this is about me.
The simple fact is that I’m a Christian scientist and an appreciative patriot. I find it more than disturbing that: 1) most mainstream media “journalists” are actually promoters of undeclared agendas, 2) most politicians pay more attention to lobbyists than what’s in the best interest of their constituents, 3) most government agencies do not adhere to their own publicly-posted mission statements, 4) Left-wing propaganda is spreading in our schools, 5) Woke ideology is being bought into not only by major corporations, but our military, etc., etc.
I’m taking the time out of my life to educate the many good citizens that we do have, and to encourage them to speak up. As this MAJOR improvement that recently happened in NC proves, one person CAN make a difference!
Anyways, I’m asking for YOUR HELP. I’m willing to keep doing this for free, but we need to get more subscribers. PLEASE email your associates and ask them to subscribe. PLEASE share my substack on social media, and ask readers to subscribe. FYI, here is the chart for the subscriber growth to date. Thank you for your help with that. Getting more people educated about what is going on is in ALL of our interests!
BTW, several people republish each of my posts on their blog, etc. (like here), so feel free to do that — as that will increase the audience and hopefully subscribers.

Lastly, since I’d like to leave you with some help, I’ll try to answer any question you have on any of the topics I cover: COVID to Climate, Education to Elections, and Renewables to Religion. Click on the “Leave a Comment” button and I’ll reply. THANK YOU for your support!
Please encourage other open-minded associates to sign up for this FREE substack. Also please post this on your social media. The more citizens that are educated on key issues like this, the better our chances of success…

John - You are doing excellent work. God's Work for truth in time of forked tongue knaves.
It is greatly appreciated by many thinking individuals without doubt. We do all types of energy development from solar to SMR's in designing microgrids for energy security for the military and have lived through the full cycle of "Global Warming" retreated to "Climate Change" and the evils of CO2 that is actually the life blood of our plant world who gives us O2 without which we do not survive a minute. We hired a group of Ph.D's before Obama arrived, to find out where to put our CO2 from a billion dollar coal to liquid plant for JP-8 fuel we designing, but was cancelled by the Obama Admin. They hated coal in any form. I learned a lot during that exercise about CO2 and Global Warming
The truth is, though we have slightly increased the CO2 to about 400 PPM, it is still at the lowest level in the Earth's history in this latest intercession of warmth since the last Ice Age ended, ~12,000 yrs ago. It hit as low as about 225 before we started burning coal seriously in 1800. We need more CO2. It was in the thousands of PPM when the big trees that gave us coal were thriving and if it falls below 150 PPM (got perilously close about 15,000 yrs ago during last glaciation), then plants cannot survive. When they die, so do we. Greenhouses keep it around 800PPM which does not bother us, but plants grow like crazy.
A thousand honest Scientists who are not competing for grants, paid by the wok cabal corps, or politically connected, have signed a document pointing some of these things out. There will be another ice age in good time, though we may have delayed it a few years. The Malankovitch Cycles of the Sun and Earth actually determine climate change, and the puny fraction of a percent added by our CO2 does not amount to a hill of beans. But that will be attacked vociferously by those who have drunk the cool aid or are being paid to do so.
And the political weapon this partial-science theory creates for those who would take control of us, justify public policy that enriches their contributors and gets the public to herd as they wish like sheep, also for those who can milk it for fame and fortune, it is a powerful tool indeed.
You have sensed this and been a voice of common sense. Much appreciated.
I relate to your essay John - most sincerely. I have quite a few 'climate denier' friends here in Oz (Australia) - some of whom are frustrated REAL scientists. All of us are suffering from exactly the same politically-fraudulent nonsense as are you.
I'm trying to 'do my bit' with this 'introduction to an introduction' - www.galileomovement.com.au/media/SaveThePlanet.pdf in the hope that it might get through to some of the propagandized young (& older!) people who are suffering from exactly the same problem that you have outlined. This is a problem that can be defined by this little formula: FEAR + IGNORANCE = STUPIDITY!
The link I've provided leads to the technology ('modern' nuclear) that will 'fix' the [non-]problem of 'carbon [sic] emissions', about which so many are terrified; but I've tried to do it gently so as not to 'frighten the natives' with technicalities at the outset; because so many people just 'switch off' at even the slightest hint - which is why I've broken it all up with optional 'side-pieces' to check, and a bit of humour (note correct spelling!) here and there.
I trust that, as an American devotee to the excellent grammatical work done by Mr Webster, you might excuse the use of Australian spelling here and there!
I would be most interested in your assessment, and of any suggestions that you might make.
And yes! We are up against exactly the same political/financial manipulation nonsense being used to control the Public! And our present Minister for Energy & Climate Change (or is it the other way around?) has declared that "Nuclear is the most expensive form of energy - it's a complete joke!" - so there ..... (Hmmm.... I thank that my little formula covers that comment!)
