Think Twice science is gearing back up; I have asked for a primer on climate models, seen below.
I apologize for the lack of a written transcript. I believe most of my regular readers will know most of the material anyway, as this below is geared toward people who have been harassed and pestered ad nauseum by “climate change” predictions and want to know how seriously to take any or all of it. Answer: not that seriously.
It’s well to know just what climate models are, and that this is: far from simple conglomerations of any number of sub-models. Speaking, therefore, as if one is certain what the weather will be like a century from now, or that the world will end soon unless we “do something” (undefined), is not warranted.
Amusingly, the YouTube censors, all uniformly ignorant on the subject, thought fit to display this propaganda prominently below the video:
United Nations • Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
My lack of knowledge of who can sue whom over what is nearly complete, but it seems to me that since YouTube takes stake in this, and in many other positions, such as medicine, when they turn out to be wrong, they ought to be made to pay for their temerity.
If you think this valuable, send it on to those who are certain they know what the earth’s climate will be like in fifty years.

As of today; Dec 22, days will be getting longer. Does that count (as climate change)?
Dear Briggs: Beware. Your enemies have inserted repetitive and annoying background elevator music into your otherwise excellent explainer video. Maybe the same ones who attached the “United Nations • Climate change refers” text, or there might more than one, possibly acting in cahoots. They have also put in a kind of occasional scritching noise, as though you were wearing a hair shirt !
Anecdote: Dame Julia Slugg (or whatever its name was), at that time head of the UK Met Office, told me to my face and before an audience of several hundred “If you dispute the model you are disagreeing with the Fundamental Laws of Physics!”. I had merely questioned it, that Met Office Climate Model, in the light of inconvenient evidence. The young student next to me later asked “so, are you what they call a Climate Denier?”
Info @Brian (bulaoren): although we (in the north anyway) are passed the shortest day, we are still in the “Dark Days of Winter”. This is the period between earliest sunset and latest sunrise, between about 13th and 31st December where I live. See https://academics.uccs.edu/rtirado/PES_1600_SolarEnergy/Dark_Days_of_Winter.pdf
And, most importantly, Happy Christmas :-)
