A very long string.

Like I said, it's been years -- actually decades -- since I read it.

So there stands a non zero probability that the decel was not addressed. Kindagolbers up the data then

And no I am not interested any more

'Kindagolbers' up the data then

??? It's a fiction story. Computronium is nothing compared to after the Singu-hilarity.

As well as normal hardback and paperback editions, it was released as a free e-book under the CC BY-NC-ND license.

If you cared to, you could download the PDF and do a text search. Might take 10 minutes.

I just thought redpoint5 might like the story. Back on topic: What is climate? What is change?

Climate is Space Weather. Change is coming.

A physics-engineering-economic model coupling approach for estimating the socioeconomic impacts of space weather scenarios

The approach evaluates multiple power network architectures, incorporating input-output economic modeling to translate business and population disruptions into macroeconomic impacts from GIC-related thermal heating failures. The results indicate a daily GDP loss from $6 billion to over $10 billion. Even under conservative GIC thresholds (75 A/ph) aligned with thermal withstand limits from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), significant economic disruptions are evident. This study is limited by its restriction to thermal heating analysis, though GICs can also affect the grid through other pathways, such as voltage instability and harmonic distortions. Addressing these other failure mechanisms need to be the focus of future research.

...a daily GDP loss from $6 billion to over $10 billion.

Greetings fellow climate believers and skeptics, can we agree the climate models aren't working [well]?

Is there anything that can falsify the models, that hasn't been factored in, you midwit!

Comes now the Photomolecular Effect. New MIT Discovery Just Solved Water's BIGGEST Mystery!, but skip the intro and ad and go straight to the science.

So the trick is 550 nanometer Green light, polarized at 45 degrees. And as a bonus it cool the ambient air.
