Well, I can’t wait for this in the US.

The climate models are just essentially curve fitters. If they hindcast that is not evidence of their future predictive capability. To have a model appropriately model the future you have to properly model all of the future factors that the model uses to assess the future state.

I guess sometimes people finally realize when they are fighting a losing battle and it is effecting them in a very personal way.

This is something that anyone interested in climate should watch. It gives one an idea of that the planet can really do to alter the system.

As a side note a little research indicates that the volume of lava is on the order of 2 to 6 million cubic kilometers which in addition to adding an epic amount of gases from the outgassing provided heat energy to the environment equivalent to between. 4.78 and 14.38 years of solar insolation. Any guesses what the results of the outgassing and the heat did to global climate? Seems like a major extinction occurred around that time 🤔

Do you have to look any further to uncover the epic amount of grift?

When are we the people going to stop allowing this epically expensive nonsense?

If the process of tectonics in not controllable by humans, which is surely is not, then it brings up some questions:

1. If the continents are shifting and those shifts will cause changes to ocean currents and ice sheets and other which change the climate system then how will humans adapt? Surely we ads a species will not get less capable of change.

2. If changes to the climate are inevitable due to tectonics then how long can humans try to keep climate from changing before we realize we cannot control the climate system like it is a thermostat in our home?

3. If we are subject to the climate system we exist within and are unable to ensure that the climate system remains static then why are we arguing about climate change and attempting to arrest it?

I suspect that the answers will be along the lines of: the climate is changing faster than ever before (which is not proven), we are killing the Earth (we cannot kill an inanimate object) which incidentally has survived a lot worse than humans burning hydrocarbons, etc.

Ultimately, we and all of the other life forms live on a planet which is a system that is WAY BEYOND our control. The sooner we realize that the better off we will be as a species. We can either use the resources here to leave or we can die here when the Sun incinerates Earth.

Only time will tell the story but those who have profited from this hysteria will still be rich.

So I was out trimming the trees that overhang the pool in my back yard. They have gotten pretty overgrown and need a good trim.

So I am out there surveying the work to be done I see them some of the branches that need to be cut are: (1) too large for the manual shears I have and (2) too high to reach without a ladder. I have available to me a ladder and a handsaw and chainsaw to assist with the task. There is now a decision point: do I tackle the job myself or hire someone to do so. This decision is predicated on two primary factors: (1) do I have the financial means to pay someone and (2) do I want to to accept the risk of getting up on a ladder and doing the job myself? There are other factors to consider like do I have gas and bar oil for the chainsaw, will the hand saw work, etc but I am keeping this simple.

The path forward turns out that I am going to do the work myself and I now realize that I cannot place the ladder where it is needed due to the rock feature on the pool. Now the ladder is out of play as are the chain and hand as options. However, a polesaw can be procured and utilized to get the job done which is what happens.

So now the question: were all the decisions, which were predicted upon the availability of tools and the potential risk of injury, predetermined? If so, then why has the universe aligned so that I have the tools and knowledge to do the work myself while my neighbor does not?

Darn it … our models are not properly hindcasting so there has to be something wrong with the historical data!!!

Or our models are wrong.

Oh well, let’s just set policy anyway. The science is settled so who cares anyway (/s)

I guess it is cool to exploit the poor to fulfill the dreams of the developed world.
