the people with all the firepower won't let you buy your own private military (or develop your own weapons systems without being under their control). The end-of-line power (violence) is a closely guarded monopoly.

Do you have a citation for confidently predicting global temperature (whatever that is) on a climate timeline (10+ years). A study I read showed that all the models from 2000's and 2010's were off by quite a bit.
