December 27, 2012 show: Tom Quirk on science claims about global climate

On December 27, 2012, CHUO 89.1 FM The Train's Denis Rancourt interviewed Dr. Tom Quirk about his various studies regarding scientific claims of human impacts on global climate. We discussed cow farts, leaking gas pipes, wind farms, and untested science claims. Dr. Quirk is on the Scientific Advisory Panel of the Australian Climate Science Coalition, and is a Board Director of the Institute of Public Affairs Australia.

December 20, 2012 show: Marc Morano on the year at Climate Depot

On December 20, 2012, CHUO 89.1 FM The Train's Denis Rancourt interviewed Marc Morano about 2012 with Climate Depot. Mediamatters.org recently named Marc "Climate Change Misinformer Of The Year". Therefore it was even more important to have Mr. Morano grace the Ottawa FM waves.

Note: Mediamatters.org has dropped a great big notch in my book with their piece on Morano. The CNN debate between Marc Morano and Bill Nye exposed Nye as a pathetic mouthpiece for the dominant establishment warmist side who refuses to consider or even hear the arguments of the skeptic side, in my opinion. Likewise, the mediamatters.org piece provides no argued criticism of any of Morano's many contributions to the scientific debate. Has mediamatters not noticed who controls the mainstream narrative on climate politics...? It could start here: Corporate Climate Coup.

November 8, 2012 show: Joshua Blakeney and Denis Rancourt on the crime of war

On November 8, 2012, CHUO 89.1 FM (Ottawa, Canada) hosted a discussion between co-hosts Joshua Blakeney and Denis Rancourt, about the crime of war, the civil rights of activists, environmental policy, and more...

July 12, 2012 show: Climatologist Dr. Tim Ball on the politics and professional ethics of global warming agitation

On July 12, 2012, CHUO 89.1 FM (Ottawa) The Train's Denis Rancourt interviewed Professor Dr. Tim Ball, climatologist, about climate science and the politics of global warming. Fascinating history of the climatology profession... Dr. Ball is being sued for defamation in regard to his criticisms of other climate professionals. The lawsuits are on-going and Dr. Ball is committed to getting to the truth and justice.

Conversation with Peter Laux on global warming

On August 25, 2011, CHUO 89.1 FM (Ottawa, Canada) The Train's Denis Rancourt interviewed Peter Laux in Melbourne, Australia, by phone.

Peter Laux is a train driver (engineer) who has contributed to The Train previously, here. He is the author of the "$10k climate challenge", here: He has signed a legal undertaking that he will pay $10 thousand Australian dollars to anyone who can provide

"a conclusive argument based on empirical facts that increasing atmospheric CO2 from fossil fuel burning drives global climate warming."

The radio discussion started with physicist Rancourt explaining basic climate physics to discern the crap from a clear picture of the relevant planetary radiation balance and moved into a societal and class analysis of global warming preoccupations.

The climate physics paper cited is THIS ONE.
The Guardian article about Martians is HERE.

Professor Richard Lindzen on global warming science

On July 7, 2011, CHUO 89.1 FM The Train's Denis Rancourt interviewed Professor Richard Lindzen (Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, MIT) on the broad question of the practice of global warming science.

Why would a warming even as large as 5 degrees C be of concern?

Professor Raymond Pierrehumbert on the physics of global warming

On June 30, 2011, CHUO 89.1 FM The Train's Denis Rancourt interviewed Raymond Pierrehumbert, Louis Block Professor, Department of the Geophysical Sciences, The University of Chicago. Professor Pierrehumbert is an internationally recognized expert on the physics of global warming.

After introductions and (dis)agreeing on some basics, get ready for a heated (so to speak) debate between the two Ph.D. physicists having different perspectives. It becomes clear that climate physics is not apolitical, at least not between these two...

One music break is beautiful accordion music arranged and played by Professor Pierrehumbert.

CHUO funding drive banter::: Critique of global warming science and more

On May 12, 2011, CHUO 89.1 FM Ottawa The Train host Denis Rancourt runs a funding drive effort with music by Nina Simone, a Corbett Report interview about the global warming myth, and an exploration of U of O president Allan Rock's image-management fetish, etc.

Media activist Stephen Lendman on Obama-care, Palestine, US-crimes, START treaty and more

On December 23, 2010, The Train (CHUO 89.1 FM Ottawa, Canada) interviewed Stephen Lendman in a wide-ranging discussion about Obama being worst than Bush, Israeli crimes in Palestine, the START arms treaty, and more.


Lendman makes a strong case that the Obama administration is much worst than was the Bush administration, "without a doubt!"

Lendman's impassioned description of Israeli crimes in Palestine is the most engaging we have heard in a long time from any continent.

Chemtrails, geoengineering and climate change from Cancun and everywhere

On December 9, 2010, The Train welcomed Ottawa organizer and social justice activist Sylvain Henry, US independent filmmaker and chemtrails activist Michael Murphy, and climate sanity champion Lord Christopher Monckton.

Rancourt challenged Murphy on the toxicity of nanoparticulate Al2O3 and on measurable environmental and human health impacts of chemtrails but all agreed to fight the undemocratic tyrants that run our lives and that global-scale geoengineering should be stopped.

Then Lord Monckton owned the last half like only he can. Twas a riot.

POST-SHOW FALLOUT:
Several listeners called the CHUO 89.1 FM radio station to complain and to ask that Rancourt's statements that aluminum oxide is not a highly toxic substance be retracted on air. Thank you for your interest in the show. The host of The Train has a responsibility to question claims of significant risk to public health when he has reason to believe the information to be in doubt. Please feel free to send all criticisms and feedback directly to Denis Rancourt at chuotrain@gmail.com. A selection of these statements will be read on air. In addition, more air time is planned for this topic.

FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Aluminium oxide is the family of inorganic compounds with the chemical formula Al₂O₃. It is an amphoteric oxide and is commonly referred to as alumina, corundum as well as many other names, reflecting its widespread occurrence in nature and industry. Its most significant use is in the production of aluminium metal, although it is also used as an abrasive due to its hardness and as a refractory material due to its high melting point.
Application--As a filler: Being fairly chemically inert, relatively non-toxic, and white, alumina is a favored filler for plastics. Alumina is a common ingredient in sunscreen.

Wind justice in Ontario, Canada: Green energy impositions

Expropriation without compensation under the green banner...


On September 23, 2010, The Train interviewed Jane Wilson, Chair of the North Gower Wind Action Group (NGWAG), Christiane Bollinger, member of the Board of the NGWAG, and Dr. John Harrison, physicist and wind power expert.


We discussed the corporate cronyism and lack of democracy in industrial wind power projects being imposed on residents in Canada and the process to date regarding an industrial wind power project slated for the community of North Gower (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada).

We learned that industrial wind comprises many significant health and safety issues that are not being properly addressed by governments, environmental regulations, or the industry. The human and animal health and safety problems are nothing short of unacceptable...

Australian train driver on global warming

On August 19, 2010, The Train interviewed train driver (in North America read "train engineer") Peter Laux by phone from Melbourne, Australia. It was 7am the next day for Peter and there were still no measurable effects of anthropogenic CO2-driven global warming.


The dynamic and wide ranging conversation covered Australian working class skepticism of global warming, green psychology, Richard Nixon's "war on cancer", environmental protection as government ploy, Australian regional climate changes, trade unionism, energy technology, energy politics, DDT criminalization as racism, and much more...
