Climate Science You’ve Never Heard Of
That is a barrage of useless fluff, and then I go back to find out that really the M. Mann himself who produced it.<p>New science on the block says: &quot;Most importantly, it tells us that if humanity slashes emissions to zero, global temperatures will stop rising almost immediately.&quot; (...previously held belief of 30+ years is a thing of the past.) It is implied that this will put our &quot;environment&quot; into the state of ...?<p>This is heralded as a fact carved in stone now upon which we are to rejoice and shed induced psychological climate anxiety to double down on politics and activism to &quot; .. pressure governments and corporations to favor climate protection over climate destruction&quot;. (As if this false dichotomy&#x27;s latter option is moral driver of the governments and corporations). Just make f.f. super expensive and price unreachable is the pill we are prescribed.<p>Of cause, both of these claims are dubious assuming a metric which itself has little to do with climate stability, which is controlled solely by bio-sphere, or biota. It appears that there are parallel world in climate science: ecologists and climate-scientists. The latter hold a world-view-model that thermodynamics of the non-living matter stabilizes our climate, while ecologists have shown time and again that it is biology (and hence water cycle per-dominantly) that stabilizes climate.<p>Sure, one advantage of the mechanical dumpster-like-world-view of climate-science that is the main-stream today is easily lends itself to the political policy manipulation with a single all-affecting-knob, which itself has just the right convenience to energy related domestic and foreign policies. However, in reality this is the actual problem of this world-view. The models and theories of climate stability not-taking into account biotic life (and those do not exists nearly on sufficient mathematically rigorous level) are false, and potentially dangerous if taken seriously by the governments.<p>Science aside, what policies to enact then? Well, there are options but they are politically just impossible to implements because energy is a strategic resource and the very medium on which states&#x2F;cultures exists. The only way, as history demonstrate to us, is to innovate ourselves under the profit motivation to a new future under the guarantee of freedom from government&#x2F;bureaucratic choke-hold (which includes all subsidies, ideally).
