I take being an analyst very professionally. I don't do WAGS. I am autistic with an OCD completeness compulsion and I have been doing Climate Change non-stop for the last 2 years.

I know EVERYTHING publicly available about every important Climate scientist in the last 40 years. Their bio, their papers, their politics, personal lives (if it becomes relevant), awards, achievements, and finances.

It's like football or soccer. If you want to understand the game fully you have to follow the players.

I am currently researching Climate Denier scientists and leading voices. I should have done that sooner but it's a lot. It takes time.

Which is why good Climate Analysis is rare. It takes the time of highly qualified and motivated people. People like that can get well paid for their time.

Good Climate Analysis is expensive. That's why the best Climate Analysis is private and the public never sees it.

I'm retired and doing this as a hobby. If I was getting paid for this level of analysis, with my current track record for 6, 12, and 18 month forecasting, I would be getting very well paid.

And you would never see it.

That's a problem in the "Climate Reporting" field. It's part of why its so mediocre.
