ESSAY: THAT LONG, SLEEPY, HEAVY SCIENCE (PART 2)

Let’s get something out of the way…

I call them globsters. Others call them the elites, the Deep State, the NWO, many things. You believe about an all-pervasive global conspiracy or you don’t. So much has been written and rumoured, one ought to have an opinion by now. My opinion is that “they” are all too real, and my name for them is the globsters. (Don’t know why “globsters” hasn’t caught on. Seems terribly funny and clever to me.)

The likes of Rosa Koire and Patrick Wood have summed it up pretty well. It’s about control of all resources, the corporatisation of all commerce, the reduction of private property, the surveillance and control of all activity, the elimination of identity in favour of trans-everything. It’s communism via capitalism and capitalism via communism. Have you noticed something of the sort emerging? Surely you’ve noticed.

In the end, it will fail horribly because those behind it are far better at manipulation and calculation than they are at thinking. Driven by boundless vanity, self-disgust and boredom, they can do most things with an energy but also a patience which stagger...yet they are incapable of thought.

Who are the globsters? Where are they located? How do they conspire so improbably across all borders and divides? Which secret societies are engaged? Which levels of those societies are fully in-the-know? I leave all that alone, because they are very strong in the areas of manipulation, deception and confusion, I am weak and uninformed in those areas. Can’t and won’t face them on their chosen fields of play.

But I can think, they cannot. I have my loose and flimsy connection to the Eternal, like many of you, and this enables me to think. The globsters lack that connection, consequently they have everything but the power to think. No amount of brilliance or accomplishment can help them to think. I don’t know what my IQ is, but it wouldn’t be much. I’m mediocre on most tests, from counting change to the pinch test. But willing connection to the Eternal allows me, like anyone, to think.

Much damage has already been done, more is on the way. To anticipate and reduce some of that damage, a little sprinkling of truth from each of us is needed. Hence this essay.

Now back to the subject of climate.

I’ll avoid, as much as possible, sounding sciency. In fact, let’s see how much science talk I can skip while conveying the results of science. By science, of course, I mean that long, sleepy, heavy science described in Part 1.

Here goes…

For the last few million years there has been ice at the poles. There are periodic variations in how much ice and these variations, along with the accompanying climate changes, have a rough rhythm or regularity. Nothing precise, matter of degree.

One goes from lots of ice to much less ice to lots of ice, maybe over 125,000 years. Right now, we’re in a time of less ice. This warmish time, or epoch, is called the Holocene. The warmish epoch before this one was called the Eemian; the one before was called the Holsteinian…

But I’m starting to sound sciency. Let’s just say for the last 11000 years we’ve had a warmish climate. Of course, we didn’t go from cold to warm in a quick transition. Some 20000 years ago we were really in the dumps, cold wise. Then there was a 7000 year climb out of glaciation, then a sudden plunge back into cold, then, about 11000 years ago, we emerged from that brief re-chilling, and our Holocene began.

No need to be a hardcore recentist and insist that civilisation was an impossibility till the Holocene. It’s just that we lack the conclusive evidence of previous civilisations because such evidence, if it existed, tends to wear out over many millennia. Also, we can’t know all the grisly side-details of the great natural catastrophes which have certainly clobbered the planet over time. We can know more about recent millennia because evidence of human activity within that time-frame is relatively fresh.

The important thing about this Holocene interglacial or warm epoch is that humans have largely ceased to be nomadic and have sown crops and urbanised. Feels old to us, but it’s a new thing, a fad made possible by a reasonably warm and stable (by comparison!) climate.

Has this warm epoch been quite as warm as the previous one, the Eeemian? Seems not. What marks out our Holocene is that it has been more a plateau than a peak or hump in regard to temps. Maybe that explains the success of this new fad called civilisation, which only started as modest cropping some twelve thousand years back and stayed small for quite a while. It’s been a longer fad than hula hoops but not as long as it feels.

Is this present century a peak of warming for our current epoch? Nope. The warmest time of the present warm epoch is called the Holocene Optimum and it occurred between nine and six thousand years ago.

What about the warm blips since, like the so-called Minoan, Roman and Medieval Warmings? We’re warmer now, right? Probably not.

I could dwell on the intricacies, contradictions and uncertainties of these outlines, but the outlines serve if treated as outlines. Suffice to say that there is big variation in going from glacial maximum to interglacial optimum, but within those big variations there are lots of minor ones.

The little cooling blips which have occurred in recent millennia have tended to be most unwelcome to this new-fangled humanity of fixed settlement and agriculture. Easier to adapt to climate change when you’re nomadic, I imagine.

There was a big change which involved widespread cooling in the 1300s, when the Medieval Warming came to an end. You know the drill: less food, more disease, exposure, war, competition for any bloody thing, mass death on a staggering scale.

Out of this misery emerged a different world. I won’t bang on about that. Just look at some work of medieval beauty full of abstraction, symbol, colour. Then look at the beautiful sculptures of Donatello. Very little time separates Donatello from the medieval. Compare a high medieval text to the poetry of Dante Alighieri, who lived at the very end of the medieval. Something has changed, really changed. Those who like to verbalise about art and literature can do a better job than I in interpreting the nature of that change. I’ll just point to the change.

So civilisation has experienced these minor but deadly coolings which don’t really suit it. Yet it has emerged from them and changed.

Now, in this current minor warming of ours, within the major warming or interglacial we call the Holocene, we no longer have ice fairs in many places for the simple reason that there is no ice. But before you donate the skates to needy Finns or Icelanders…

Here are three diagrams I’ve pulled off the web. I’ve grabbed them at random. The first two show somewhat different reconstructions of the climate between now and several hundred thousand years ago. The third is a very simple reconstruction of climate since the last glacial maximum.

Ahead lies, at some point, one of those minor cooling blips. Then maybe another warming blip. You always get those. But what also lies ahead is THE END OF THE HOLOCENE. Fuss all you like over carbon, smash the earth grubbing for lithium and nickel instead of oil and gas. Within a few hundred years maybe, and certainly within a few thousand years, the Holocene Interglacial will fizzle and the long descent toward glaciation will begin.

Humans have experienced glacial maximum. The indigenous people of Australia were here during the last one. But fixed settlement based on complex urbanisation and agriculture with high populations? That hasn’t been tried outside our last few thousand years of interglacial conditions.

Will this force change? Will it what! But dealing with that change cannot be left to the globsters, those compulsive deceivers and manipulators. Do they know about the simple concepts related here concerning actual climate change and climate science? Some must know, but it is essential to keep in mind that they may be possessed of stupendous resources and mental capacities, but they cannot think. Nor can their AI think for them.

The thinking is for us, those who willingly maintain a connection, however flimsy, to the Eternal. In all my mediocrity, I can do what the globsters cannot. I can think. So can you.

The problems we face from climate change in the longer term are the reverse of what we have been told. It’s too bad. Whether the enemies of mankind know it or not is immaterial. We have to think, because they cannot. The most brilliant among them are driven only by low instinct.

Yes, it may be the globsters exclusively who have wanted to retail the great climate lie through their control of media, politics, government and learned institutions. But we seek in vain for their reasons. Reasons require thought, and they have only their low instinct. Their instinct is to exploit what seems of use to them, kill what does not. The complexity of their manipulations may be evidence of soaring intelligence, but not of thought.

I’m aware that the simple and well-established concepts laid out here will be the subject of much professional debunking, distortion and censorship if they ever get a lot of exposure. For now, they are successfully ignored.

Let’s successfully un-ignore them.

Then let’s apply thought, actual thought, to the question of climate change.
