John Shanahan’s background in severe weather and man-made global warming
November 5, 2024
John Shanahan is a civil-structural engineer who at the beginning of his career in 1970 was given the assignment to become thoroughly proficient in understanding what tornadoes can do and to make sure that nuclear power plants were properly protected. He spent seven years in field research, computer modeling of three dimensional moving tornadoes and three dimensional nuclear power plants and their ventilation systems and physical testing of missile barriers. He collected the most extreme data of the most powerful storms over 100 years in the United States. Most of the reports were submitted to the sponsoring utilities. He still has the reports and data.
No one had collected such an amount of extreme data and analyzed it in detail. He had expert help from Professor Tetsuya Ted Fujita, Mesometeorologist, America’s top specialist for tornadoes at the University of Chicago and Professor Merit White, Civil Engineer, the top bomb bunker design specialist in WWII.
In all this research for tornadoes and hurricanes, the science that mattered involved parameters that are familiar to everyone studying the weather: temperature, wind, barometric pressure change, clouds, precipitation, flooding, lightning and airborne missiles.
Only when he began studying the topic of supposed catastrophic man-made global
warming from use of fossil fuels did he see scientists studying the problem exclusively from the point of electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with CO2 and similar molecules.
After 25 years of carefully studying the severe weather and actual climate and climate change from all points of view and hiking in many parts of the world, he has concluded that studying climate change only through electromagnetic radiation and so called greenhouse gasses is not enough. We must study all the parameters influencing the weather from around the solar system to the core of the planet – a lot more than just infrared radiation and CO2.
Governments, media, and government grants seeking academia claim use of fossil fuels is causing catastrophic man-made global warming. Mother Nature is in control of the climate and she says the climate alarmists are wrong!

All this clothing was made from by-products of petroleum. Climate alarmists demand that Europeans and North Americans leave petroleum in the ground!
Catastrophic man-made global warming is a false alarm by power mongers in Europe and North America. Asia, Africa and Latin America are not buying into this hoax.
Carbon dioxide is the miracle molecule of life along with water and oxygen. Do you agree?
