Cohler/Soon: “ Response to Ed Berry’s recent presentation” #431

<p>Jonathan Cohler, joined by Willie Soon, says he is correcting false statements Ed Berry made about their paper “Dominance of Natural Atmospheric CO2 Dynamics,” which is under review and posted online. Cohler argues Berry wrongly claimed they ignored Berry’s work, presented an identical delta-14C “proof,” and called for a carbon-cycle model; Cohler says they cited Berry prominently and used newer radiocarbon data (Hua et al. 2022) and Koutsoyiannis 2024. They distinguish residence time (~3.8 years) from radiocarbon relaxation time (~18.4 years), claim a bridge equation links them, and assert their new work mathematically refutes Bern multi-exponential/adjustment-time models. They also discuss conflicts with the CO2 Coalition over attributing CO2 rise to humans.</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Why This Rebuttal</p><p>01:23 Berry Claims Overview</p><p>03:16 New Radiocarbon Data</p><p>05:19 Lie One Citation Record</p><p>07:33 Lie Two Not Identical</p><p>10:00 Lie Three No Model Needed</p><p>12:34 Why Skip Berry 2023</p><p>13:16 Residence vs Relaxation</p><p>15:57 Bridge Equation Results</p><p>17:20 Math Theorems Against Bern</p><p>18:29 Independent Checks and Implications</p><p>21:38 Host Q and IPCC Confusion</p><p>22:49 Soon on Adjustment Time Myth</p><p>24:55 Table Consensus and Bern Failure</p><p>26:25 Bomb 14C Reality Check</p><p>27:30 Why Bomb Tests Matter</p><p>28:19 Ethics And Accusations</p><p>29:27 Data Driven Challenge</p><p>31:08 CO2 Coalition Split</p><p>33:32 Math Not Debate</p><p>36:55 Ugly Email Wars</p><p>40:01 Science Over Ego</p><p>42:52 Searchers Versus Blockers</p><p>43:22 Passing The Torch</p><p>45:08 Final Thanks And Goodbye</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://x.com/cohler">https://x.com/cohler</a></p><p><a href="https://papers.jcohler.com/">https://papers.jcohler.com/</a></p><p>=========</p><p>Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: <a href="https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries">https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries</a></p><p>My Linktree: <a href="https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1">https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1</a></p>
