Hey guys there’s a new sophisticated phishing method going around.

It appears @ToddFGordon has been hacked and the person is sending DMs asking if you can vote for him to be on a podcast.

The website asks for a vote then to authenticate with X or Google. Careful ⚠️⚠️

It must now be seen as the greatest blunder in human history. And it was all done on purpose. No public relations campaign can change that.

Yes, the world is still a bit warmer. CO₂ is still a bit higher. But NASA satellites have revealed the recent rise in carbon dioxide has sparked the greatest expansion of green leaf area 'in recorded history'.

The entire human story has been about our dogged survival in a harsh, dangerous world, thanks mainly to sheer luck. Our species is thriving in today's warmer Holocene interglacial cycle, which has lasted 11,700 years. This covers the entire rise of all human civilisation, every single empire, every invention and everything that makes us modern, from razor blades to spaceships.

The observable data throughout geological history suggests that today's cooler temperatures lie mostly within natural variability. The natural world invented the miracles of multicellular life and DNA on its own. It doesn't need human intervention. The Earth will run its course despite our interference.

However, many are unaware that we still are living in the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, beginning 33.9 million years ago when permanent ice sheets formed on Antarctica. Ice ages may be rare, but we are in one, whether we like it or not. Earth has seen just five major ice ages in its long history - the Huronian, Cryogenian, Andean-Saharan, Karoo, and today's Late Cenozoic Ice Age.

Today's global average temperature is estimated at 15°C, but this is not hot in geological terms. Our modern era sits deep within a major cold trough. It is up to 10 degrees cooler than the long-term average range of 18–26°C.

It was the Industrial Revolution though, that kicked off the modern world, beginning around 1750. And the discovery of coal, oil and gas created the most successful period in human history. We have medical miracles and the astonishing technology to prove it.

CO₂ levels over 250 years from 290 ppm to 426 ppm have created a massive spreading green canopy. Agriculture has exploded beyond anything ever seen before. It has not caused a global disaster.

And Net Zero, by the way, has never been fully explained - other than swapping promissory notes at annual summits worth trillions of dollars. There is every likelihood it will not change a thing. It's nothing more than a throw of the dice. Yet the error strewn 'transition' to wind-solar is expected to cost $275 trillion - equal to 2.5 times global GDP.

This could have built up to 27,500 nuclear power stations worldwide, ending any doubts about pure energy.

Global temperatures have risen by around 1.4°C since the Industrial Revolution 250 years ago. This came after the end of the 500-year Little Ice Age in Europe, the coldest spell in 10,000 years. Cold usually brings famine, misery and an early death.

Until the past few decades, most people only learned about CO₂ in biology classes at school. It is where we discovered this trace gas is the building block of complex life, the engine of photosynthesis and the oxygen we breathe.

The CO₂ miracle isn't taking a bank holiday.

Teach a bureaucrat economics, and he'll design a better cage.

It has never been about helping the poor or bettering society; it has always been about extracting wealth from the people who create it.

On a Sunday evening, August 15, 1971, Richard Nixon interrupted the broadcast of Bonanza to inform Americans that the dollar they held was now backed by nothing but his word. He called it "temporary." Fifty-plus years later, you are still waiting for the temporary part to end.

Understand what actually happened. Under Bretton Woods, foreign governments could exchange their dollars for gold at $35 an ounce. The dollar was a receipt. Gold was the money. Washington printed receipts far faster than it dug gold out of the ground, financing Vietnam and Lyndon Johnson's Great Society with the same press. De Gaulle noticed. So did others. France sent a warship to collect its gold, and the run was on.

Nixon had two honest choices: stop spending, or admit the dollar was overissued. He chose a third option. He defaulted, then blamed "international speculators" for the mess his own Treasury created. Classic.

Notice the language he used. He promised the dollar's action would "stabilize" prices. Consumer prices roughly quadrupled over the next forty years. A 1971 dollar buys you about fourteen cents of goods today. That is confiscation in slow motion, and it hit wage earners and savers hardest, the people holding cash rather than assets that float upward on the new tide of credit.

Here is the mechanism sound money advocates warned about for a century: Sever money from a physical anchor and you hand politicians an unlimited overdraft. Every deficit, every bailout, every war since 1971 rode on that Sunday broadcast. Ludwig von Mises died in 1973, having spent decades explaining exactly this.

Nixon called it "protecting" the dollar. He meant emptying it. You have been paying the invoice ever since.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.
