Draft script: From The Columbia Climate School comes a state of the climate report on 18 October 2023. The title: When It Comes to Climate, Embrace Chaos, Says a Physicist. Here’s the lede: “Thirty-six years ago, a fierce storm hit England and France, killing at least 22 people and causing over $35 billion in damages.”
“Thirty-six years ago, a fierce storm hit England and France, killing at least 22 people and causing over $35 billion in damages.”
Five years ago, I wrote an article titled, "The Insurance Industry, soon to be the first pillar of Capitalism to succumb to Abrupt Climate Change". I've added this video to that blogpost.
Already large tracts of California and some parts of Florida are now uninsurable, fancy that.
I watched the Cern Labatory in the Swiss Alps being constructed. 27 kilometres of tunnels through the mountains.
They seemed to have unlimited money, unlike that available for climate mitigation!
I also note that when it was in the R & D phase, many scientists were concerned that it could trigger some kind of unforeseen "Chain Reaction", they went ahead with the risk because they were so excited with the project. Pretty much what we do with everything.
Thank you Guy. Be well.
Thank YOU for the positive comment, Grant.

“Pretty much what we do with everything.” That says it all, Kevin, in only seven words.
Your prescience is appreciated, at least by me. I also appreciate you restacking my post.
