A Bit 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.

What’s Different About My Approach

•As I have followed the climate change debate for many years, the

focus on the climate realist side has been to incrementally debate the
details of what the actual vs modeled results in the future might be

•While I respect all the work that has been done by the hundreds of

professionals in the field, my approach has been very different

•Based on my professional experience, I have known that the

fundamental underpinnings of the greenhouse effect were incorrect.

•My singular focus has been to find experimental proof that the

greenhouse effect is a false concept. Recent insight after many years

of accumulating information led to an insight several months ago. I

present the solution which is both simple and powerful.
