Ned Nikolov discusses the physical meaning of the global mean surface temperature, addressing critiques by papers from Essex et al. (2007) and Jonathan Cohler (2025) that question its validity. Nikolov argues that these critiques misunderstand thermodynamic principles, and presents his own analysis, supported by satellite data, which shows a meaningful correlation between global mean surface temperature and energy fluxes. He emphasizes the importance of using accurate scientific principles when critiquing climate science to maintain credibility.

Steve Davies discusses the major themes of his new book ‘The Great Realignment: Why the New Right Wing Politics is Here to Stay,’ which analyzes the political upheaval since the mid-2000s. He explains how traditional left vs. right economic issues have been replaced by a new alignment based on nationalism vs. cosmopolitanism, driven by deep structural changes in the global economy and political landscape. Davies also touches on topics like digital IDs, the future of climate change policies, open borders, and the impact of emerging geopolitical shifts.

Author Ralph Pezzullo discusses his book 'Stolen Elections' based on a five-year investigation by government whistleblowers into the manipulation of elections via compromised software developed in Venezuela. The book details how this software, allegedly used to rig elections in 72 countries, was partly responsible for suspected fraud in U.S. elections since 2008. With insights from whistleblowers, computer experts, and endorsements from figures like Elon Musk, Pezzullo emphasizes the need to revert to paper ballots and ID-based voting to restore electoral integrity.

Alvin Wong, a researcher from the University of Hong Kong, discusses the significant yet often underestimated impact of volcanic eruptions on global weather patterns and climate change. Highlighting studies from various volcanic events, including the 1982 El Chichon and the 2021-2022 Tonga eruptions, Wong explains how volcanic materials and geothermal heat released during eruptions can alter atmospheric and oceanic systems, leading to extreme weather phenomena like heavy rainfall and altered ocean circulation. Wong calls for a greater consideration of volcanic activity in climate models to improve weather prediction and understanding of climate variability.
