You expected something horrible didn’t you? This is a throwback to CR-12 from February 2023. I’ve been reviewing my past work and trying to synthesize a cohesive analysis from it.

This is what I said almost two years ago.

The last few weeks have been my brain on overload trying to assimilate everything that’s going on in the world and see the “shape” of events. Things are happening now at a pace that would have seemed unbelievable a few years ago.

I am reminded of Tuchman and her “March of Folly”. I fear we have missed our chance to act cooperatively as a global community and deal with the Climate Crisis collectively. It increasingly seems likely that there will be WAR.

Deja vu right?

I don’t think the situation has improved over the last two years, do you?

Imagine this is the world. In this image the “ocean” around the island is the Earth’s Oceans. The world’s temperature is set by this ocean. If it cools, the world cools. If it warms, the world warms.

This is a reasonable way to understand the real Earth’s Climate System. 80% of the solar energy the earth captures happens along the equator, the “ring around the world”.

My entire life can be described in one sentence: Things didn’t go as planned, and I’m OK with that.
