That's not a very strong objection. Firstly, you can just rotate the key if that happens. It's one software update away. Secondly, protecting keys isn't that hard. That's what HSMs are for. Not only have no secret keys e

Well, nobody likes being called a charlatan and you have to be careful with that accusation. Case in point: this article. I hate it because the argument he makes is correct and useful until the end, when he tries to claim that giving certai

It's not a part of the design or purpose. It's a part of the current status quo but the EU is a very different construct to the USA both legally and culturally. The USA has the Constitution which at least in theory places hard lim

It's not an American thing. The same issue crops up in the UK with London, for example. If you move to London you know you're going to be hit by things like ULEZ or endless ideological propaganda ads on the public transport system

See my comments on PAGES2K on another thread, reachable from my profile link. But as you've worked with the data presumably nothing in those posts is news to you, and you're well aware of the sorry state of paleoclimatology.

That's not a great argument by the physicist, the economist definitely won that debate. The physics guy only seems to realize that though when he wakes up the next day and has calmed down a bit. Although the link is useful for the ther

Sadly quite a lot of people predicted the broad strokes of the 2008 financial crisis, COVID and Ukraine war, although you can always argue that they should have predicted things more precisely. - Crisis. It was just yet another round of ban

It's well studied, but not well studied. Climatology is essentially a branch of history and suffers the same issues with low quality sources that can't be upgraded via experiment because they're recordings of past events, i

This is such an academic take! There's tons of fraud, bias and false claims in research, therefore the fix is to get rid of whatever trivial checks and balances we already have and let researchers do or say whatever they want. The &quo

It probably can be done, but does the academic establishment really want word to get out that their great research is being auto-reviewed because the "peers" were so bad at their job that an AI can do better? They've spent de

If you were a child in the 1960s or 1970s then this is surely the case. However, if you'd been a child in the 1930s and then were talking about climate in the 1960s or 1970s it'd have been the other way around, you'd be talki

They collect that data for a reason - if you only look back to 1850 then it's hard to know if you understand the cyclical aspects of the system. Also bear in mind that data from ~1850 to 1950 is extremely sparse for most of the Earth&#

Normally in science you don't splice together totally different measurement methodologies onto a single graph line. PAGES2K has no credibility unfortunately. If the proxies worked they could just use them for the modern era too and avo

You actually do need to be a rocket scientist of a sort. You think CO2 increasing by that much is a problem because you've been told it is, probably since birth. It's not something you can observe directly with your own eyes, beca

Although in fairness liquid fuels are storable, so you can use intermittent solar and wind to run syngas processes. Low carbon power isn't really the hard part, grid stability and the existing vehicle fleet is. Also of course, you coul
