Agree your conclusion, but it should be a multidisciplinary PhD, rather than a specialism in a particular domain, imho. The irony is that ChatGPT free is massively multidisciplinary, much more than the average academic, it has the potential to teach everyone everything, probably making human teachers obsolete... :)

Btw, I've found myself questioning the greenhouse gases theory, though I admit I accepted it for a long time without thinking about it, my bad.

If we think about what adiabatic means, and we know that the atmosphere is adiabatic, I can't see how its possible that there can be any effect on temperature by the atmosphere by itself, whatever blanket effects that we might expect from a lab test where gas was physically contained at constant volume, can't and should not be read across to another environment, where the gas is free to expand, thus the adiabatic expansion cancelling out any blanket effect.

I got suspicous of an awful lot of things we thought we knew in science, as a long practicing systems and research Engineer in both academia and industry, I started to work on what I could see was the global energy problem coming, seven years ago during PhD candidate work, and one of the first things we have to do is draw up a model of the Earth and sun, to analyse the energy relationships between those, and the same between us, and Earth and sun, to compare with nature. In this, we have to mathematically sign energy from sun to Earth, adding energy to the Earth as mathematically positive, and the energy being extracted from the planet by all the means we do that, as mathematically negative.

Then we get a picture that shows Earth as a kind of battery, trickle charged by the sun, discharged by us taking the energy out of the negative terminal.

Yet I never saw this in all the time I studied Engineering, and applied Engineering in industry, and in research... and yet we've been signing the energy in and out of batteries forever.

Isnt it strange we never did the same with the energy of all life?

This done, we might notice we seem to be at a similar stage of development, as a plant, just when it first forms leaves, we just formed our first leaves, in the solar farms and domestic installations all over the planet.

The plant moves its dependence from the energy of the planet, to the energy of the sun, at about this time, so the flow of energy through the plant has to change direction, from negative, upwards into the plant from Earth, to positive, downwards in the direction from Sun to Earth.

The energy flow upwards was the flow of negative energy, and the energy flow downwards is the flow of positive energy.

Notice we can't have both at the same time, we have to have one or the other, and the transition from one to the other will involve passing through zero.

We are approaching that transition, and after it, we will see a lot of things were always upside down, the motor of humanity was always running in reverse, the flow of energy through us driving us in destructive mode, we did it all at profit, which all required work, but we are moving to a scenario that requires no work, there can be no profit it in the energy of the sun, the only way to monetise it (Our version of nutrients issue), is issue it for free to reflect that the sun donated it with nothing asked in return, therefore the only way to propagate it via money, as we have to, to at least eat, is issue the money for free according to the Joules coming in from the sun.

I call this solar indexed stimulus.

I think we are nearly there, and there are implications on truth and lies, which also confirm this, as you'll see in my own response to Enrique. Sorry long response, but its complex, I still only scratched the surface.
