It's a Non-Linear World - part the first

So, on to climate change. Yes it does exist. Some new data to contemplate.

This month he co-authored a paper which concluded global warming is accelerating faster than expected, due in large part to regulations to reduce shipping pollution. While this pollution is a human health hazard, it also has the effect of reflecting sunlight away from the Earth.

So, it seems, even scienists who should have some notion of non-linear systems keep getting caught with their panties down. My guess as to why: they figure that if they tell the truth about non-linear (colloquially 'exponential') systems, they'll scare the shit out of folks who understand it, and cause the sub-GED Bible thumpers to attack these pointy headed Liberal Lying Scientists. The mis-rule of the idiots.

From the point of view of the MAGA leaders, and their most faithful, if Mother Earth ceases to be habitable in its current level, such will happen after they're long dead. Or, in their Bible thumping ways, extrapolate the Bible's assertion that God won't ever flood Mother Earth again. Ignoring the geologic fact that such never happened (filling the Med is almost surely the source of the myth). Do any of these give a shit about their kids and grandkids? Much less more future generations? Big fat no to both.
