The question now is who will take the blame for the outcome. Who can the buck be passed to?

Model-Based Net-Zero Scenarios Aren’t Worth The Paper They’re Written OnIn a new paper, Sir Nicholas Stern, Nobel Laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz and Charlotte Taylor conclude that climate-energy-economy Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs), which are the key tool in producing emission-reduction scenarios, “have very limited value in answering the two critical questions” of the speed and nature of emissions reductions and “fail to provide much in the way of useful guidance, either for the intensity of action, or for the policies that deliver the desired outcomes”. The research paper is The economics of immense risk, urgent action and radical change: towar... read more

carte blanche and fear
If you will give us as it were carte blanche, if you will empower us by the authority of your freewill to act in the physical octave in circumstances of world treachery and intrigue, I can assure you that we will do so. And if you will give your calls concertedly to beloved Mighty Hercules and call for the forces of Hercules, millions of angels who serve in his legions together with those of Archangel Michael, our bands of the first ray and of the God- star Sirius to take action, you will discover that the Great White Brotherhood and chelas in embodiment will checkmate many a dark pl... read more

Edward Abbey, "Benedicto"
*"Benedicto"* "May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. May your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells, past temples and castles and poets' towers into a dark primeval forest where tigers belch and monkeys howl, through miasmal and mysterious swamps and down into a desert of red rock, blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottos of endless stone, and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled c... read more

Refuting Malthus: the Geopolitics of Creativity and Open Systems ExploredIn last week’s meeting of the group ‘Medical Doctors for COVID Ethics’, I was asked to debunk the myth of overpopulation as the ideology has evolved from Thomas Malthus to Francis Galton to modern Transhumanism.
