Ralph trained in mineral surveying, but became a computer analyst. But after a change in profession he entered aviation as a flying instructor, and an airline captain. Thus he has studied and observed climate and weather for 40 years in the real world, as a part of his profession.

About Jonathan Cohler:

Graduated in 1980 from Harvard in Physics. Phi Beta Kappa. David McCord Prize.

Since the 2010s, I have guest lectured occasionally in the physics department at Harvard

Since the late 1990s, I have been keenly interested in the developing disinformation campaign often known as "climate science." I read extensively in this area.

In recent years, I have taken an interest in investigating so-called "AI" software, and the planned total take-over of public discourse by the big tech companies and their co-conspirators in our current government.

Dr. Willie Soon, an astrophysicist and geoscientist, is a leading authority on the relationship between solar phenomena and global climate. In this 32+ years of singular pursuit, he seeks to understand the Sun-Earth relations in terms of not only meteorology and climate, but also in terms of orbital dynamics of Sun-Earth-other planets interactions, magmatic (volcanoes) and tectonic (earthquakes) activities. His discoveries challenge computer modelers and advocates who consistently underestimate solar influences on cloud formation, ocean currents, and wind that cause climate to change. He has faced and risen above unethical and often libelous attacks on his research and his character, becoming one of the world's most respected and influential voices for climate realism. In 2018, he founded the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES-science.com) in order to tackle a wider range of issues and topics without fears nor prejudices.
