Excellent interview and fantastic guest. Only question I missed from Rogan was: What other scientists have spoken out and fundamentally agree with Koonin?
Thanks, Joe Rogan, for taking the time to listen to Koonin's book (I have read it). You also have been obviously paying attention enough to ask good questions.
One of the questions that I would have liked to have seen asked relates to the Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption. It seems to me that the eruption was a major climactic event. I read all that I can on it, and there is much that is unknown, but each new assessment seems to suggest a longer, bigger impact than previously thought.
Thank you Dr. Koonin for really becoming a go-to person on all of this. Real science, real sensible.
There are few who can understand the depths of Climate Science, and even fewer who can describe it so well. I own/have read your v1 book. Bravo!

I love the preachy youtube statement at the bottom that has the opposite effect on most people that read it.
