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

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.00:00 Why This Rebuttal01:23 Berry Claims Overview03:16 New Radiocarbon Data05:19 Lie One Citation Record07:33 Lie Two Not Identical10:00 Lie Three No Model Needed12:34 Why Skip Berry 202313:16 Residence vs Relaxation15:57 Bridge Equation Results17:20 Math Theorems Against Bern18:29 Independent Checks and Implications21:38 Host Q and IPCC Confusion22:49 Soon on Adjustment Time Myth24:55 Table Consensus and Bern Failure26:25 Bomb 14C Reality Check27:30 Why Bomb Tests Matter28:19 Ethics And Accusations29:27 Data Driven Challenge31:08 CO2 Coalition Split33:32 Math Not Debate36:55 Ugly Email Wars40:01 Science Over Ego42:52 Searchers Versus Blockers43:22 Passing The Torch45:08 Final Thanks And Goodbyehttps://x.com/cohlerhttps://papers.jcohler.com/=========Slides, summaries, references, and transcripts of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summariesMy Linktree: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1
