None of these since I'm coming at the problem in an empirical manner - all they do is tinker with simulations. I guess we could assemble their many future predictions and see how these stack up against my curves.
I am feeling very down & despondent. I ranted about the stupidity of the AGW/CC nonsense over 20 years ago to my various family, social & work circles. Arm waving embraced the inevitable consequences of power cuts, rising prices & inability of any British manufacturing industry to compete. All that I actually managed to do was to confirm my status as a swivel eyed loon who had spent too much time paying attention to maths, science & history lessons in school.
When the covid racket started I saw an astonishing number of parallels and ranted (albeit on slightly different things), again from a scientific basis. This time around, as well as being the swivel eyed loon, I was ostracised, banished & insulted for not buying into any of the bolleaux, refusing to wear a nosebag or take any of the jabs.
Your pieces are wonderful & make me feel a little less lonely but do nothing for an ever declining opinion of my fellow man. 90%+ of the world's population has revealed itself to be terminally stupid. Here comes the 'but' . .
Some years ago I read a number of papers by Maynard Smith. A very interesting bloke with a fascinating background, he applied maths & modelling to evolution. IIRC, every scenario showed that 'seekers after the truth' became extinct. The survivors displayed 'fitness'. Maybe the smart money has managed fitness by doing the virtue signalling thing, worshipping Greta Thunderberg, Al Gore etc. & yet dodge the jabs, retain access to energy, food etc.. There are only 2 ways I can see how to do that:
1) Be *very* rich, like Gates & his WEF cronies. Pose, posture, preach & pontificate accordingly before boarding your private jet.
2) Somehow wheedle your way into WEF/UN/WHO etc. as a hanger on & pose as a useful idiot.
I saw that the COP junket attracted 47,000 attendees. WHO & other UN jamborees have similarly huge numbers. How do us wee people get a ticket? In memory of the boys from the black stuff, "Gissajob" - in the modern global public sector.
Doubtless I probably missed something more achievable. What was it?
I shall confess to swinging in and out of despondency, not because of corrupt and inept politicians, their experts and NHS bosses, and not because of big pharma's tricks - these are all par for the course - but because the majority of the public either can't see the situation for what it is or don't care. I despair of people and this is what gets me down.
There is a madness breeding vileness and insanity that has taken hold of many that is beyond mass formation, like health professionals asking a 12 year-old boy if he is pregnant. Years ago I contemplated that Western civilisation, now in steep in decline, would come to a grisly end but I didn't count on stark idiocy at all levels. I dust myself down with the realisation that it was probably always like this, it's just that it wasn't in such sharp focus as it is now.
As it so happens Maynard Smith was the professor at my old uni, so I've sat in his lectures having my mind blown. I suspect it was his influence that got me interesting in using numbers to explain life processes. As for the something more achievable my feeling is that managing to stay true to yourself and keeping your head above the darkest mire is sufficient achievement in itself. If you can remain genuinely human on a planet that nurtures humans within a society that is breeding trans-humanism on a breathtaking scale then you will have done plenty!
LOL - it's a curiously small world sometimes! In spite of the crushing darkness something wonderful is happening that is not unlike ripping a plaster off a hairy leg. Social and mainstream media will do its utmost to ensure this realisation doesn't happen, as will colleagues, friends and family content with an infected wound, for that wound is all they know.
Sadly the media give us little more than propaganda to fit the narrative. Thank you for this interesting series.
Thank you kindly!
Which of the three models have the IPCC committed to?

That would be interesting.

"Maynard Smith was the professor at my old uni" . . . So, Granny, have you managed to eat your eggs yet?
I can't tell you how much I appreciate these thoughtful remarks. Your spiritual ministry and wisdom is more than helpful right now.
