Roy Clark: A Nobel Prize for Climate Model Errors | Tom Nelson Pod #271

Roy Clark is a retired engineer with over 30 years of experience in new product and process development, including optical and spectroscopic measurements in adverse environments. He received his MA in chemistry from the University of Oxford University and his Ph.D. in chemical physics from Sussex University (UK; 1976).

He started his own independent research on climate change in 2007. His particular interest is time-dependent or dynamic-surface energy transfer and the calculation of surface temperatures from first principles. He has published several technical articles on climate change and co-wrote the book ‘Finding Simplicity in a Complex World – The Role of the Diurnal Temperature Cycle in Climate Energy Transfer and Climate Change’ with the late Prof. Arthur Rörsch.
