This is not a seriously serious post. Well, it is, but it's not meant to be. And I can't just let slip past, without comment, an opportunity to demonstrate why we would be foolish (perhaps even are foolish) enough to base our climate thinking on the vagaries of 'weather'. A day or two ago I... Continue Reading →
Peace Talks; Piss Talks; Same Difference.
No talks of any kind - other than unconditional surrender of Ukraine, and Russia ordained guarantees of security, along the lines of Russian demands of December 2021 will cut the ice on the Ukraine conflict. Which of course includes elimination of Ukraine nazism and militarism completely from that country - if it wants to survive... Continue Reading →
A Tale of Two Stories
I have some spare time, it's uncomfortably hot outside, it's night time and my usual online gaming platform is on a weekly maintenance schedule for four hours just now but, what the heck! I wouldn't, even so, usually bother to write about such a trivial matter as this but, sometimes my goat gets got up... Continue Reading →

Day by day pundits may refer to it all as 'climate' but that is incorrect. So, whenever you hear a climate story, have... Continue Reading →
The Human Brain is a Vehicle Without Brakes
So it is unlikely that human invented, designed, built, Artificial Intelligence brains, instances, reasoning engines - call them what you will - will also include any braking mechanism. Our own thoughtless activity will be our undoing. The end of modern civilisation is in sight. And it is a product outflow of the computer age -... Continue Reading →
Back to the Arctic
Well, the NSIDC Arctic Sea Ice graph line having now reached the '1Feb' vertical, it is time for me to say something more on the Arctic Sea Ice question. Let's just say that this has not been the best month at year start on record. In fact it is the second only most worst month... Continue Reading →
Three ‘Pigs in a Poke’
The new US administration, to a man (or woman), as a collective have no idea - not even a fucking clue - as to what goes on in the world outside their own shores.
