He says he lost his job after blowing the whistle on efforts to destroy weather and climate change documents – as a new startup lobbies Congress for their project to spray sunlight-reflecting particles into the atmosphere. Mabie was fired after more than a dozen years at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, a research center operated by NOAA and the University of Colorado Boulder. He joins Dr. Drew to explain what happened to the data he was trying to preserve and how the case connects to a broader push for geoengineering. weather modification, and the Stardust project. Jay Beeber, Executive Director of Policy at the National Motorist Association, discusses automated ticketing, Flock license plate reader surveillance, driver-monitoring cameras now required in Europe, and the right-to-repair fight. Justin Mabie is an American scientist with expertise in geophysics, space weather, and climate change. During a seventeen-year tenure at NOAA, he served as a senior expert in space weather and aeronomy and as program leader for the UN World Data Center for Geomagnetism. He is the author of “Climate Change Deception: The Alarming Corruption of Science.” Follow at https://x.com/Justin_JE_Mabie Jay Beeber is Executive Director of Policy at the National Motorist Association, dedicated to protecting American drivers against low speed limits, automated ticketing, travel-lane removal, mileage taxes, combustion-engine bans, kill switches, congestion taxes, and car-free zones.
