About Dr. Ed Berry

Most people see me as polite, friendly, honest, accurate, and competitive. Climate alarmists try to destroy me because my physics arguments prove their science is wrong.

From July 2020 through July 2022, climate alarmists in Montana’s Department of Revenue tried to destroy my climate business. It took nine months from my professional time to defeat their false claims. I may have been the first person to defeat an MDOR attack. I wrote my own defense document that won in MDOR’s mediation. Evidence indicates someone in Montana’s radical right told MDOR to attack my climate business. Montana is NOT the best state to run a small private business.

Sacramento, California, was a baseball town when I graduated from high school. Having played since the sixth grade, a pro team offered me a job. But I scored a perfect 800 in the SAT test and finished in half the allotted time, so I attended Caltech.

At Caltech, I was in the AF-ROTC pilot trainee program. But a week before graduation, Congress lowered the quota for pilots, so the Air Force gave me an honorable discharge. Nevertheless, I found the AF-ROTC classes very valuable.

After Caltech, I worked for a summer in an engineering job and spent the evenings studying Kenpo Karate under Ed Parker.

Dartmouth College offered me a teaching fellowship allowing me to earn my MA in physics. In addition to physics, I studied Markov Chains and Philosophy of Science.

The University of Nevada gave me a research fellowship to do my PhD thesis in atmospheric physics. My theoretical thesis showed how micron-sized cloud droplets can produce rain in 30 minutes by stochastic collision and coagulation. It turned out to be a breakthrough in cloud physics that put Nevada’s Desert Research Institute “on the map” as the then Director said. My thesis drew heavily from my Dartmouth studies in Markov Chains and the scientific method.

While a grad student, I worked out with the gymnastics team and became fairly good on the trampoline. I performed the athletic events to qualify for a Sigma Delta Psi National Athletic Honorary membership.

Over a Nevada dry lake one stormy day, I flew a sailplane, with no gyro, into a storm cloud with a strong updraft. I had to spin out of the storm to survive (with no gyro) and then, since a dust storm covered the dry lake, I had to make a zero-zero landing.

One Saturday, I was ridge-soaring east of Sparks, Nevada, when the wind suddenly quit. (I know, my booboo. That’s how I learn stuff the hard way.) One thing for sure, there are no go-arounds in a sailplane. I was going to land somewhere in about 5 minutes.

I scanned my options. There were no open fields, no school football fields, no place near the river without large boulders. There was an industrial park with power lines. I found only one possibility. One industrial parking lot was about 200 ft long parallel with the building and 100 ft wide with some vehicles parked, surrounded by a 6 ft high cyclone fence.

It looked like there was enough room to land IF I made a perfect landing. I had to come over that fence by no more than 4 ft and hit the pavement and brake to a stop before the next fence. I nailed the landing. No damage to the sailplane or to me. Today, when I think about that landing, it scares me. I don’t know how I did it. I wish we had GoPro cameras in those days.

But I found sailing more fun than soaring because I can do it with women, and I can crash without burning. With my wife, Valerie, as crew, we won national and world championships in a competitive centerboard sailing class.

Today, I live in Bigfork, Montana, where I continue to be active in my chosen field. My professional testimonies have stopped many Democrat-sponsored climate change bills.

My climate research culminated in my December 2021 peer-reviewed paper that proves the UN IPCC climate change claims are wrong. I can teach this physics to qualified high school students and I can use it to help good attorneys win legal cases against climate alarmists.

My goal is to help you understand the basic science that proves climate alarmists, and all their scientists, are wrong.

I am organizing climate warriors to help take climate change truth to the people and to win climate lawsuits. If you are on my email list, I will invite you to join me.
