There's a new presentation by Murry Salby on-line after his last (that I've seen) from Germany a year ago.  People who follow WUWT will have seen the link.

Dr. Salby seems to be a source of highest terror to the climate science establishment/cult, and his presentations demonstrate why.  This one is somewhat less dense in math (no Lagrange integrals, fewer non-time-domain plots, etc.)  I find it fairly convincing because of the inherent simplicity of his logic chains.

Just generally, the hypothesis that temperature drives CO2 rather than the other way around has better explanatory power, and makes more intuitive sense to me as well.  Salby's recent textbook is graduate level and way way over my head even if I had time and interest to read it.  One thing about the lectures is that you can get a grasp on how competent a guy is in the Q&A a lot of times, and this is one of them.  Especially in answer to Monkton's second question.  Salby clearly knows his shit.

Salby, like others, has paid the professional price for his going against the grain.  I'm still trying to understand the rational behind his strategy which is to publish again only when his research papers are returned and he is able to work in academia again.  If ever.  In the mean time, I hope he continues his independent research and giving lectures from time to time.

Being blacklisted during the McCarthy era eventually became something of a badge of honor, and certainly the people we remember from hundreds of years ago were the few who went against the grain and argued for the heliocentric model.  I have hope that the same will be the case for Salby, Soon, Lindzen, etc.  The establishment seems to be getting more and more outragious which tells me that they are desperate.  On the other hand, the banksters and many other monied power-players are suddenly totally on-board with the catastrophic global climate change (piggybacking on the decades of hard propaganda work of the Socialists now that that has gained traction) so it will be interesting how things will play out.  Or more precisely, the timings of things...the truth always wins out in the end.
