Berry vs Cohler & Soon (2026)

Open for your comments and debate.

Cohler & Soon’s March 2026 “Under Review” paper and my rebuttal to their attack on my comments.

Cohler & Soon are lying. MDPI rejected their paper in June 2026.

Here is MDPI’s reply to my email asking if Cohler & Soon’s paper was still in review:

Dear Dr. Berry,

Thank you for your email.

Regarding the paper you mentioned, we rejected it 3 months ago. We will
not process this paper again. In addition, we will not contact Jonathan
Cohler in the future.

I look forward to hearing from you again.

Kind regards,

Mr. Addison Su

Notice that MDPI added: “In addition, we will not contact Jonathan Cohler in the future.“

Did Cohler treat MDPI like he treats everyone else?

No one can aways be correct, but all scientists should at least be honest.

In their video below, they still claim their paper is under review.

Prior to my presentation on the Tom Nelson show, I sent a copy of my critical slide to Jonathan Cohler, offering to remove my slide below if he would send me his reasons that I might be wrong. He never replied to my email. But he lied in an email to me and Tom Nelson by claiming that he did reply to my email.

So, I showed this slide in my presentation which represents my personal opinion.

Here are Cohler and Soon’s comments on my slide:

Here is a copy of their “in review” paper. You can also download a copy here: https://papers.jcohler.com/co2.
