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.

The light from the Sun may be steady, but not so Space Weather. Here's how to follow along:

Solar Wind: How To Read The Data

Just a random thought. If climate change is always making the weather worse why hasn't there been an ef5 tornado since 2014?
If climate change is always making the weather worse then why do there appear to be fewer tornadoes in Kansas, Oklahoma and north Texas than 20 years ago?

Food for thought-

Plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and water for photosynthesis to produce oxygen and carbohydrates that plants use for energy and growth.

Rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere drive an increase in plant photosynthesis—an effect known as the carbon fertilization effect. New research has found that between 1982 and 2020, global plant photosynthesis grew 12 percent, tracking CO2 levels in the atmosphere as they rose 17 percent. The vast majority of this increase in photosynthesis was due to carbon dioxide fertilization.

Increased photosynthesis results in more growth in some plants. Scientists have found that in response to elevated CO2 levels, above-ground plant growth increased an average of 21 percent, while below-ground growth increased 28 percent. As a result, some crops such as wheat, rice and soybeans are expected to benefit from increased CO2 with an increase in yields from 12 to 14 percent. The growth of some tropical and sub-tropical grasses and several important crops, including corn, sugar cane, sorghum, and millet, however, are not as affected by increased CO2.


A fir needle stomata, which lets CO2 in and water vapor out. Under elevated CO2 concentrations, plants use less water during photosynthesis. Plants have openings called stomata that allow CO2 to be absorbed and moisture to be released into the atmosphere. When CO2 levels rise, plants can maintain a high rate of photosynthesis and partially close their stomata, which can decrease a plant’s water loss between 5 and 20 percent. Scientists have speculated that this could result in plants releasing less water to the atmosphere, thus keeping more on land, in the soil and streams.

It seems I was correct to dismiss the narrative that change only produces negative consequences.

Because they possibly moved to places the don't normally have them or the real ability to measure their strength?
