Tom Shula and Markus Ott : The “Missing Link” in the Greenhouse Effect | Tom Nelson Pod #232

About Tom Shula:
• Academic training in theoretical physics. Disillusioned with the
community and left with a M.S. to work in tech industry.
• Primary work in semiconductor and disk drive component and system
development and manufacturing.
• Brief diversions into other industries including steel mills, refining,
food processing, and waste treatment.
• Exposed to a broad range of fluid dynamic systems with pressures
ranging from kpsi to 10-12 Torr, and temperatures from 77K (liquid
nitrogen) to >1000C
• I have been extremely curious from an early age, and was considered
a top problem solver in my professional technical career
• I’ve been following the “climate change issue since the “global
cooling” scare of the 1970s. More intently since 2009.

Markus Ott, a chemist with a PhD, has been working as a researcher and developer in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry since 1994. He has mainly worked on the development of photolithographic methods for the production of biochips and on the development of light-curing plastics. In addition to the theoretical basics, he has the necessary practical experience to assess the interaction of light with matter. As an enthusiastic aviator, he is deeply interested in the processes in the atmosphere since his youth. The present text "Dismantling The CO2-Hoax" or the German version "Demomtage des CO2-Betruges" were written from the practitioner ́s perspective who has to deliver reliable products and cannot hide behind computer models.
