Andy May: “Suppression of Science and Inconvenient Truths” | Tom Nelson Pod #251
Andy May is a writer.
He is a retired petrophysicist and has published four books. He worked on oil, gas and CO2 fields in the USA, Argentina, Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, China, UK North Sea, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and Russia. He specialized in shale petrophysics, fractured reservoirs, wireline and core image interpretation and capillary pressure analysis, besides conventional log analysis.
In this episode, climate science writer Andy May highlights his criticisms of mainstream climate change consensus and the suppression of non-consensus ideas. May discusses historical and recent examples of censorship in scientific publishing, arguing that peer review is broken and that important dissenting voices are often silenced. He concludes with skepticism about the effectiveness of the IPCC and COP meetings, emphasizing the need for open scientific discourse free from political influence.
