"You have to control academia. You have to control the press …You create…a few sheepdogs …In the 1950s the top UFO debunker in the world was Donald Menzel, Harvard University astronomer ... had a very, very intimate relationship with the NSA & the CIA"

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying

In 1961, meteorologist Edward Lorenz was tweaking a weather simulation on a bulky early computer at MIT. To save a bit of time on a rerun, he rounded one harmless-looking number in the printout from 0.506127 down to 0.506.

When he returned later, the forecast had gone totally insane. The two runs, which should have been almost identical, had completely diverged after just a few simulated days. That tiny rounding error had snowballed into chaos.

Lorenz had just discovered sensitive dependence on initial conditions, the heart of what we now call chaos theory.

The idea exploded into the butterfly effect and reshaped entire fields from weather forecasting to physics, biology, stock markets, and even why long-term predictions are so hard.

It's no longer possible to reduce emissions fast enough to keep global warming below 2C. https://t.co/6y87zosUIx

2C warming may trigger tipping points that ensure 3-4C warming. https://t.co/nc3iIPgbqA

3-4C warming means systemic collapse.

[David Windt @DavidLWindt]

I conclude that denial of the climate crisis is a psychological problem and only psychologists can address it. It is not based on any provable scientific evidence but is a matter of blind belief, like a cult, or a new religion. No logic can break through this level of irrational guilt based belief.

[David Windt @DavidLWindt]

@robinmonotti It's not CO2 - it's solar cycles! It's orbital cycles! It's Hunga! It's Urban Heat Islands! It's natural warming! BUT, BUT CO2 IS PLANT FOOD!!! 🤪

The denial that CO2 is causing global warming is getting increasingly incoherent as temperatures rise.🍿

@HuppenthalJohn Cool story. Has any of your fiction been published?

"We now think the big mass extinctions were caused by global anoxia ... If we lose [the large-scale ocean currents], then the bottoms of the oceans go anoxic and you start down this road towards what we call greenhouse extinctions, which is the hydrogen sulfide events."
