"In a funny coincidence, my Google Scholar count of academic citations crossed 30,000 within hours of THB passing 30,000 subscribers." You're the Shohei Ohtani of academia!
Happy 4th Anniversary and thank you for all the hard work you've put both into THB and into the climate space in general. Best wishes for continued success, Roger.
Thank you for your commitment to sharing reasonable and accurate information and commentary. I value your research and your posts.
I only wish you could convince Facebook that you’re not fake news. Although they perpetuate the problem you’re articulating in the censorship and media hype area.
Congratulations! Honest brokering pays off, and it will never come back to bite you. Keep it up, I am happy to support what you do. It is important and highly valued.
Congrats on all the success, and happy to be along for the ride! The information you provide is thought provoking, and a really nice breath of fresh air from main stream media.
I’ve been thinking of when I started my career and my profs were teaching things that they had never actually done. Which reminds me of how important it is for the thinkers and the doers to be in conversation, and how this convo was cut off in my field when we went to funding research by panels of other researchers (the stories I could tell about panels..) and how in general this has accelerated the difference between what we are told by scientific authorities and our own real world experiences. Places like this are invaluable in bringing all of us together.
It would bother me greatly to see Roger suffer economically for giving up his tenured position given all the good he's accomplished. I hope being affiliated with the American Enterprise Institute provides additional stability on the income front. He wisely treads cautiously when it comes to partisan politics which is critical to the effectiveness of his role as Honest Broker . I'm retired on a reasonably comfortable oil&gas company pension so I feel no restraints on that front. If Trump were to win the next election and begin unwinding climate mandates at the federal level I would hope the world might begin to follow. That would be a positive development overall that Roger will have played no small part in bringing about, particularly given the energy the climate movement derives from extreme weather events. It will be interesting to see how THB evolves in the event of a Trump victory in November. Although I will view it as a victory on the climate front there should be no shortage of facts to check and papers to debunk on both side of the issue for years to come.
Roger, thank you. May your readership increase, may THB prosper and likewise Substack, without which we would all be condemned to the propaganda of MSM. 🙂
"Other than the investigation a few years back, I last spoke one-on-one to the chairs (three different people) of the academic department I was a part of in 2012, not really a healthy work environment. Oh the stories I can tell!"
I can't be the only one that wants you to tell these stories when you are finally free to do so.

Too high praise!
👍🙏😎
“ no administrator (from department chair on up) on my campus has spoken to me in more than five years”
Talk about an indictment of the state of academia.
Unbelievable.
Hard to be an outcast. Let’s hope that Harris doesn’t win as that will only get worse.
Congrats on 4 years, I eagerly await every piece you produce, even though it’s fun to poke the Arsenal balloon!!!
I mean, Bournemouth?

Thanks Roger, keep up the wonderful work. You are an inspiration and a great point of reference in my thinking and discussions at the office!
Congratulations, good sir!

Just subscribed. Your content is a breath of fresh (and nuanced and objective) air in the all too politicized world of climate change.

Well done, Roger. Proud paid. Your work is very important.

I second that - perhaps it can be a special edition of the Honest Broker? It never ceases to amaze me how academia can be so petty.
You are valued part of my daily education.
Excellent thoughts, Roger. Look forward to another insightful, educational and HONEST year of THB!
