Guest Post by Bob Tisdale
I recently ran across an article by Chelsea Harvey for BusinessInsider. It was the title that grabbed my attention: This Map Shows How Climate Change Will Screw The Whole World. Not just parts of the world, the “Whole World”. Wow. Interest piqued, I discovered she was referring to Figure 2.4 from the IPCC’s Climate Change 2014 Synthesis Report (longer report), shown below. It appears to be the same as Figure SPM.8 from the 2014 Synthesis Report Summary for Policymakers. The author described the map of future risks as a “handy chart”. I love handy charts.
The map resembles the planet Earth, where most of us reside. The continents are in the right places, and so are the oceans. But we know that’s not the Earth. The risks illustrated are based on climate models, and we know that climate models used by the IPCC for their reports are not based on Earth’s actual climate, as it has existed in the past, or as it exists now. The maps output by climate models may resemble our Earth, but they’re fantasy maps of a fantasy world. They create nothing more than an illusion…an illusion that is intended to make it look like bad things will happen in the future if we all do not agree to reduce our carbon footprints.
We need a name for the imaginary planet simulated by climate models—a planet that looks like Earth, but is not Earth. I’ll propose the climate-modeled planet be called TurnsToCrap. No matter how the modelers present the product of their endeavors, they show the planet TurnsToCrap.
Goron.
Nice
How about Kevon or Gavon? Or Planet Hansen.
How about “Oz”? (Many candidates exist for the wizard – Mann, Pachuri, etc.).
or maybe “Neverland” …. where the models never reflect reality….
Or how about: Manngore or Goremann
All are good and appropriate. Also, it could be named after the CAGW community. ‘Wedgieworld’ (since the wedge is the simplest tool known to mann).
(I HATE it when I do something like this. Makes me sound like one of them.)

Nice drawing, but we have a lot of Morons on Earth too.
There was some B-grade Sci-Fi movie decades ago about a world exactly opposite the earth from the sun where everything happening on earth was exactly mirrored on the other planet.
Prb’ly its name was Thrae.
Technically they would be Gorons.

“There was some B-grade Sci-Fi movie decades ago about a world exactly opposite the earth from the sun where everything happening on earth was exactly mirrored on the other planet.”
Gerry Anderson’s first production with real actors.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppelg%C3%A4nger_%281969_film%29
The Gorons immigrated to Earth from Goron. On Earth their called Morons because they brought their climate models of Goron with them and tried to pass them off as climate models of Earth.
Goron, the planet whose atmosphere is made up of bozone…
Only one tiny problem. There is a series of Science fiction books by John Norman that take place on a Counter Earth named “Gor” believe me, you do not want to be associated with them. Overarching theme of the books was that women were happiest when they were chained at the foot of their ‘male’ owners bed.
You’ll have the progressives crying out that the Climate Deniers want to put all the women of earth into slavery.
DirkH — that’s the movie. I remember Roy Thinnes was the main character — he was also the main character of an Amer Sci-Fi series that ran a few yrs called “The Invaders”.
Fortran
That’s much funnier than most people realize.
I like that. The problem with anything related to “gore” is that you are giving him recognition, no matter how indirectly. I’d like to pretend that the man never existed.
Yes, then the planets either side of it can be Fortran II and Fortran IV.
With a major hat-tip to Cordwainer Smith [SF Author of the 1960s] surely the imaginary planet ought to be called
Mann-home

I must applaud your choice of authors. Smith (Linebarger) was one of the most creative SF authors ever — and also wrote one of the very first manuals on Psychological Warfare for the US Army.

The Real map of the Climate
The Earth is a sphere, 70% covered by water. The central portion of the sphere between the 30˚ latitudes is half the surface area and absorbs 64% of the solar radiation. The higher latitudes get progressively less solar radiation and that includes most of the Northern hemispheric land masses.
Since energy flows from hot to cold. The geometry clearly shows that the energy flows from the equator to the poles. The energy takes two paths and time frames, the bulk of the energy flow is by slow diffusion in the oceans, with a secondary flow via a relatively faster flux in the atmosphere.
Geometry also shows that a cloud in the tropics primarily causes cooling by blocking the suns rays from being absorbed by the ocean and the same cloud in higher latitudes results in warming by reflecting surface radiation.
That is it. More clouds in the tropics cools the climate and less clouds in the tropics warms the climate. Everything else is a rounding error.
This is a great point. It would have been wonderful if this thread had been more about the silly way climatologists “model” the earth by making it flat and averaging the sunlight over the whole darn thing at all times. A diffused twilight. Perfect for vampires perhaps, but not the real earth as we know it. It is a sphere, and it is a water filled world. It has a powerful heat source called the sun that will burn your butt at the equator if you are on a sandy beach. The atmosphere is a heat moving machine.
Perhaps your comment could be expanded upon and made into a post someday when people realize that unless “science” looks at the darned beast as it is, and not as some fantasy place, we will never really understand the climate.
Your post was a +1 with me. ~Mark
Hmm, Flat Earth would be another suitable name.
I’m certainly grateful for the clouds which brought snow yesterday & are now keeping the temperature here in NE Oregon from getting even more unseasonably cold. When they clear, we’ll yet again suffer Arctic chill under cloudless skies.
You’re right about tropical clouds. One hypothesis to explain the exceptional heat of the Cretaceous is fewer clouds, producing hot oceans, which yield fewer biological CCNs in a positive feedback loop. Higher CO2 levels alone then can’t reproduce implied heat, without absurdly high CS assumptions.
If they taught this in schools, there wouldn’t be any alarmists 😉

Well, they model the surface of Earth as perfectly flat, circular black body radiator so faces on a cube fit right into their math.

IMO Gary refers to mendacity (from the Latin for untruthful) rather than mendicants (from the Latin for begging), but it works brilliantly both ways.
Yes, Mr. Harlani, I agree — your guess is the better one given the “a” vs. the “i.” Thanks for the affirmation… and the lesson.

My beautiful English wife gave me that one 🙂 She explained it and I still don’t get it!
This one sure didn’t…
Here in England, in the late 1960s, 70s, and I believe maybe early 80s, there was a TV programme about 4.00 in the afternoon called Jackanory. The programme consisted of a very simple format. Someone well known, not just to children, would sit in a comfy chair and read a story to the camera. Believe it or not, that very simple format was just brilliant. The stories were never true stories, but fiction brilliantly told, and sometimes with some great voices by trained actors. The best one I ever saw (and I must have been in my 20s then!) was by the comedy actor, Rik Mayell, who sadly died this year aged only in his mid 50s. Some VERY famous British actors and actresses had a go at presenting Jackanory. It was a simple idea, in a simple time…and we all loved it.

Amen to that — and Tolkein never attempted to foist his world upon the rest of us as a real place (much less use it to justify taking away our money and liberty) — not even as an allegory (he would strongly object to his books being described as “allegories”). Pure fantasy with the author’s own stellar morality shining throughout.
Cf. the worse-than-useless computer climate simulations which claim to “predict” — they can’t even hindcast historical data!

Miri, from Star Trek: The Enterprise discovers an Earth-like planet that was devastated by a horrific degenerative disease and is now populated entirely by impossibly old children. The disease is starting to affect the landing party, their nerves are frayed and their tempers are short. Now infected with the disease and crying, they find comfort in the arms of Captain Kirk (Dr. Mann)

“Beaming down, the landing party of Captain Kirk, Spock, Dr. McCoy, Janice Rand and two security men discover architecture like that of Earth, circa 1960. But there is debris in the streets and evidence that decay has been ongoing for at least several centuries, and that the distress signal is automated.”

Similar projections for 2 decades from the alarmist side. On the real planet however, the actual reality is that this keeps happening:
http://usda.mannlib.cornell.edu/usda/current/CropProd/CropProd-11-10-2014.txt
“Corn production is forecast at 14.4 billion bushels, down slightly from the
previous forecast, but up 3 percent from 2013. Based on conditions as of November 1, yields are expected to average 173.4 bushels per acre, down
0.8 bushel from the previous forecast but 14.6 bushels above the 2013
average. If realized, this will be the highest yield and production on record
for the United States.”
“Soybean production is forecast at a record 3.96 billion bushels, up less than
1 percent from October and up 18 percent from last year. Based on November 1
conditions, yields are expected to average a record high 47.5 bushels per
acre, up 0.4 bushel from last month and up 3.5 bushels from last year.”
So what is the response from the IPCC to the booming biosphere, increased vegetative health, record crop yields, slightly less global drought, less strong/violent storms/tornadoes and less tropical cyclone energy?
Boost their confidence level in the bad stuff to 95%.
To be objective, the beneficial warming in the 80’s/90’s resulted in an atmosphere that can hold more moisture and this increased heavy down pours a bit.
Also, the explosive growth from plants/vegetation caused some wildfires to be worse since that factor provided additional fuel for them to burn.
Those negatives are actually a result of an overall positive.
Who would want plants and crops to grow less, so that wildfires would not have as much fuel?
Who would want less water vapor in the global atmosphere, which would result in less rain for areas that dependent on it?
This planet and the response by life on it, shows conclusively that the one gas which should be increased…….even more is CO2.

A new planet won’t be enough. You’ll need a new universe where you can customize the Earthly laws of physics. First, you will need to repeal the Second Law of Thermodynamics so Earth 2.0 can rest in equilibrium states. Then you’ll need to repeal Henry’s Law of Solubility so the ocean will stop sucking up CO2 emissions, and outgassing CO2 from solar heating (or any other source of global warming). And then you’ll need to repeal whatever laws govern cloud cover so that it can be constant instead of being a high speed, positive feedback to the Sun, and a slow speed, negative feedback to surface temperature.
It might be easier just to convert everyone not already an IPCC-climatologist so that nobody cares whether climate models actually work. Easier yet, all you have to do is convert the remaining half of the US into liberal/progressives, or put them on the dole, then no one will worry about whether anything works.
Or, cut of funds for these terrorists in mufti and huaraches, or whatever academic dress du jour is, and let’s all get back to useful work.
OK. Nobody liked my observation that you can’t just stick Planet X in the existing universe and have it reproduce the AGW model because that model violates universal laws. So, to play the name game for this compliant planet, I offer
KRaP.
That stands for Karl RAImund Popper, who single-handedly founded Post Modern Science, the academically compliant, Publish or Perish “science”, without which IPCC compliant climatologists would be exposed as cranks. As Will Happer confirms on Paul Budline’s new video posted on WUWT a few minutes ago, “it’s complete falsehood to say that it’s science”. By it, he means (anthropogenic) global warming, which he condemns as propaganda from a religious cult.
Under Popper’s principle of Falsification, the only valid model is one containing a clause that would show it is empirically invalid. Since the passing of David Stove, apparently I am alone in being amused by this observation. More than propaganda and religion, it’s insanity, specifically psychotic. Stove politely and untypically called proponents irrational.
Just to be sure, AGW is peer-reviewed, published in AGW journals, supported by a consensus of AGW experts, and has a falsification clause involving an urgent, irreversible, global catastrophe just out of reach — the end of life-as-we-know-it in t-minus-100 years, and, apparently, holding.

I just saw the new “Interstellar” movie. Mankind has to search for a new planet after climate change has destroyed Earth’s ability to sustain its population. Advance explorers are sent through a wormhole into another galaxy to look for such a planet. One of these explorers is a Dr. Mann (played by Matt Damon), and the planet he finds is called “the Mann Planet” by the main team of explorers…
Fittingly, the Mann Planet is not at all like the messages Dr Mann has sent about it. In fact, the Mann planet is very cold. He sent erroneous information because he wanted to be rescued. Eventually, he turns on his colleagues and attemps to hijack the main team’s spacecraft…
Mann would be a very appropriate name for the IPCC’s imaginary planet.
Good suggestion, but the “Blight” in “Interstellar” is making the Earth uninhabitable by sequestering atmospheric oxygen. As Professor Brandt the Elder noted, “The last not to starve will be the first to suffocate.” The writers seemed to avoid blaming Climate Change. While CAGW films may be in vogue now, they’re going to look trite and stupid when that meme falls apart.

Planet ‘No Water’ would pretty much do it in my mind.
For the models to come even close to the real influence of CO2 then we would need a ‘black body’ planet with a Nitrogen only atmosphere.
There’s very little agreement among the various models as to what happens at specific locations on earth. They could just cancel all that out of the models, sell the supercomputers, and calculate the resulting dimensionless model on a smart phone, they’d be getting the same results where global temperatures are concerned. In fact, I’m running such a model on my iPhone now. Just add up the fudge, er, forcing factors and put in a time lag.

Call it The One True World, which we examine from within our flawed empirical one in our search for Climate Truth!
Counter-Earth is a hypothetical body of the Solar system hypothesized by the philosopher Philolaus (c. 470 – c. 385 BCE).
In modern descriptions Counter-Earth is a planet orbiting the Sun so that it was always exactly on the other side of the sun from Earth at the same distance from the Sun and with the same mass as Earth (according to the theory 🙂 ). It would be undetectable to astronomers (or any other human beings) on Earth but habitable to beings at least similar to humans.
Thus it would seem VERY like earth, but it could never really be seen *from* earth.
John Norman wrote over 30 sci-fi novels about a counter-earth he named “Gor.”
I suggest the name “the planet Gor.”
I read the Norman books decades ago. Alternate names for planet Gor:

By decree of the CCCC;
“CliFi” ; [ shortened version of “Climate Fiction” ]
Official religious colour ; Murky Bilious Green;

The very influential and major cult that has gained control of planetary governance “Ban CO2”
The technologically orientated “Modeling CliFi” denomination,
The “Renewable Energy” denomination.
The doomsday cult of CAGW.
Prayers to the Goddess “Climate Change” MUST be attended four times per day.
Apostates when caught are sentenced to death in a deadly carbon dioxide chamber with concentrations of 2000 ppm of CO2.
A lingering death occurs within four days thereby proving the CCCC’s official claims on the deadly nature of the CO2 gas.
Some deep cover skeptics claim it is because drinking water is denied to the condemned that death occurs.
Climate has been stabilised with a fall of 2% in the number of Model predicted storm and climate catastrophe events by the removal of all but tiny trace amounts of Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere.
The removal of all the deadly atmospheric Carbon Dioxide has led to the extinction of all Chlorophyll and therefore all chlorophyl reliant plant life.
But that is a small price to pay in the eyes of the CCCC to save the planet.
The CCCC is now having some concerns over the falling amounts of Oxygen in the planetary atmosphere.
The state CliFi religion’s “Climate modeling” denomination is claiming that their modeling now indicates that all citizens in the aimed for rapidly declining population will need O2 supplementary breathing systems by 2122.
With the demise of chlorophyl reliant plant life, the planetary surface is entirely silicon based and almost devoid of life in any form.
Sea life consequently is nearly all extinct as it is now so overexploited as the only source of food for the planetary inhabitants.
The CCCC has initiated a drastic population reduction program so as to enable the continuing resource of ocean life to be available for their remaining loyal supporters to continue to exist.
Extensive Polar ice consists entirely of Dry Ice.
Vast Wind power systems are the only planetary power generation system allowed by the CCCC with nearly all power generated used to keep the CO2 sequestering plants operating in the Polar regions.
Frequent crisis arise when the wind stops blowing and the power to the Polar CO2 sequestering plants fails allowing vast amounts of Dry Ice to sublime back into the very dangerous CO2 gas.
+1
“The removal of all the deadly atmospheric Carbon Dioxide has led to the extinction of all Chlorophyll and therefore all chlorophyll reliant plant life.”
A better explanation for the lack of O2 in the movie Interstellar.
So the computers run the computer models to force model-based outcomes to create and control model-based policies that will kill all carbon-based life on the planet so silicon-based lifeforms can become dominant? (If a computer (er, silicon-based lifeform) were ever able to create power to feed itself without having to rely on fossil fuels dug by carbon-based lifeforms running carbon-burning power plants …)
I suggest an acronym:

“Vulcan” (not the Star Trek planet):
https://www.princeton.edu/~achaney/tmve/wiki100k/docs/Vulcan_%28hypothetical_planet%29.html:
“Vulcan was a small planet proposed to exist in an orbit between Mercury and the Sun. In an attempt to explain peculiarities of Mercury’s orbit, in the 19th-century French mathematician Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier hypothesized that they were the result of another planet, which he named Vulcan. No such planet was ever found, and Mercury’s orbit has now been explained by Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity.”

Since the models’ results exaggerate toward the image of a desert planet, then the name of the climate-modeled planet could be linked to arguably the most famous desert planet in fiction; the one in the Star Wars movies:

Chaos, spelt Kaos.
“KAOS” is a play on the word “chaos”, but is not an acronym.
An international organisation of evil (as it is repeatedly called) bent on world domination.

Sorry I don’t have a name that is anywhere as good as the ones already offered. However I do have a hypothesis about the location of the planet, based on the following from Wikipedia:
The multiverse (or meta-universe) is the hypothetical set of infinite or finite possible universes (including the universe we consistently experience) that together comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, and energy as well as the physical laws and constants that describe them. The various universes within the multiverse are sometimes called parallel universes or “alternative universes.”
The structure of the multiverse, the nature of each universe within it and the relationships among the various constituent universes, depend on the specific multiverse hypothesis considered. Multiple universes have been hypothesized in cosmology, physics, astronomy, religion, philosophy, transpersonal psychology, and fiction, particularly in science fiction and fantasy. In these contexts, parallel universes are also called “alternative universes”, “quantum universes”, “interpenetrating dimensions”, “parallel dimensions”, “parallel worlds”, “alternative realities”, “alternative timelines”, and “dimensional planes,” among others.
The multiverse hypothesis is a source of debate within the physics community. Physicists disagree about whether the multiverse exists, and whether the multiverse is a proper subject of scientific inquiry.
Bottom line:
If the multiverse really does exist, there must be a planet somewhere that corresponds to an IPCC model. Maybe even additional planets which match up with other models that are inconsistent with that first one.
Since the models give an illusory impression, the climate-modeled planet could be called:
Planet ‘Terra Illusory’
John
Terrable (Meaning the model is bad! 😉
If wishes were horses…
How about naming it Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher, known for his doctrine of change being central to the universe.
“Everything changes and nothing stands still”
“You could not step twice into the same river”
“All entities move and nothing remains still”
“Men who wish to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details”

“Unearth” or “Stupiter” (like Jupiter)

Not one single good thing happens?
This might help explain the Dunning-Kruger Effect, which says stupid people are too stupid to realize they’re stupid:
DAVID DUNNING: Well, my specialty is decision-making. How well do people make the decisions they have to make in life? And I became very interested in judgments about the self, simply because, well, people tend to say things, whether it be in everyday life or in the lab, that just couldn’t possibly be true. And I became fascinated with that. Not just that people said these positive things about themselves, but they really, really believed them. Which led to my observation: if you’re incompetent, you can’t know you’re incompetent.
ERROL MORRIS: Why not?
DAVID DUNNING: If you knew it, you’d say, “Wait a minute. The decision I just made does not make much sense. I had better go and get some independent advice.” But when you’re incompetent, the skills you need to produce a right answer are exactly the skills you need to recognize what a right answer is. In logical reasoning, in parenting, in management, problem solving, the skills you use to produce the right answer are exactly the same skills you use to evaluate the answer. And so we went on to see if this could possibly be true in many other areas. And to our astonishment, it was very, very true.
Truth. It’s a happy circumstance for the village idiots that they never need realize they are idiots. That does not give license to others to prey upon their naivete, however. That kind of exploitation is how socialist Grubers design Obamacare legislation to be attractive to the easily deceived. And thus, scriptures are shown to be true…..

Actually there is a cload of planets, which belong to the cload of Speculus Ensemble. For example Speculus GissE-Ar4 is one of its planets. The lifetime of each planet is very short, because they have frequent collisions with the black hole of Reality. The resullt of this kind of a collision is the birth of a new planet, lets say Speculus GissE-Ar5, in an other universe.

I was thinking -topia, as in dystopia, however, like a good scientist, I turned to Greek for nomenclature:
Ualeos – of glass (‘domos’ is ‘house’)
Interestingly Greek has a verb ‘tuphopoieo’ – which means ‘construct an imaginary world’
Does anyone remember the comic book about Bizarro World? It was a cube-shaped planet where normal cause and effect were (sometimes) reversed. The rules of physics sometimes applied but often not. Outcomes were frequently the opposite of the expected outcomes on Earth. Once trapped there, one had no real chance to return to our world.
As it is a place that already exists in literature Bizarro World is my nomination for the planet the IPCC describes and where the ‘futures’ they detail could happen.
I recall it as a Superman or Superboy series. I am sure others can supply links to a graphic showing the planet with its six flat surfaces.
It occurs to me that as the CAGW crowd is so fond of citing ‘the literature’, Bizarro World (TM) should be found in very good standing. It was reviewed in detail by hundreds of thousands of people like myself who were quite capable of distinguishing between logic and the fantasy on that planet to the point of finding it humorous.
Each time an IPCC claim is refuted by science or data or logic, a citation can be given for the edition of Bizarro world in which a similar example of anti-science or anti-sense occurs ‘in the literature’ thus bolstering the IPCC claim as something ‘already reported’.
There are many examples of Bizarro World thinking, the most well know perhaps being the Hockey Stick temperature chart. It’s math and claims are truly not of this world.
Alan covered Bizarro world up higher in the thread. I should’ve credited him with the backwards Earth => htraE too. I claim loss of aged thinking skills by the time I read the thread to the bottom; all terrific suggestions.
The benefit of the Bizzaro htraE is that since the alarmists want to reverse the ‘null’ so that science must disprove CAGW rather than CAGW providing clear evidence of CAGW; a reversal of scientific process perfectly fitting Bizarro CAGW theory and philosophy.
Return (restore?) the alarmists to their Bizarro parallel dimension!
Vulcanus.

Since the public widely knows of the failure of the strategy to give models prioritization over observations and since that strategy was devised by institutionally sponsored scientists to support a need by their intellectual patrons to advocate significant AGW from CO2 by burning fossil fuels, then the climate-modeled planet could be called:

Since, the modelers’ recursively defensive answer to the increasingly mistrusting public wrt their failed model strategy has been “our important models are necessary but are only work in progress that will eventually save mankind, but until they do save mankind just assume they must be currently right and immediately make strict policy against fossil fuels”. Also since, in 25 years the modelers’ work product has not improved wrt the inability of their predictions / projections / guesses to actually match observations. Then, the climate-modeled planet could be called:
Planet ’ Modelers’ Sisyphus ’
& . . . or

Whatever you call it, I know where it’s inhabitants are. They apparently are vacationing in Australia on a beach.
Planet Colonoscopy.
GIGO …garbage in, garbage out
Sorry, good one, but already proposed. Maybe time to close the nominations & let Bob pick a winner.
Nah. After 629 good answers, replies, and comments?
Why stop?
To avoid repeats perhaps people should use “Control F” and search for their proposal to see if it’s been taken?
Planet GIGO (garbage in = garbage out)
I nominate “Fudge”
Since the sea levels are advancing alarmingly it will soon be, “Water World”
Where are they advancing so dangerously? Where do you, Mike Bryant, so fear a rise of inches per century?
They are advancing rapidly in the minds of the alarmists… On the imaginary planet we are naming…
Gaia – revenge
Cloud Cuckoo Land
Soylent Green. Hey, it was a great concept, just hard to get people to accept it.

— kludgy also kludgey adjective
GISSTemper.
Climax
Just name planet “HTRAE” because the physical science is apparently 180° out of phase with that of planet EARTH, and there’s really no need to be able to pronounce the name because the planet can never exist.
I would suggest
Silliw. In honor of Willis and his mandatory double on this new world. \
PBH
Climocatastrophonicusmajor
Must be the constellation it is in.
Neverland
Mathflunkaland
Grauniad

Gigolia (The world of garbage in garbage out.)
Hokey (Where hockey sticks rule.)
Noradat (No, you can’t see my raw data.)
Fakearth (should be obvious)
Eugenica.
After that evil pseudo science of the last century.
good one
for crappy science how about:
Piltdown
Pauling’s Helix
Debendoxia
Pons/Fleischmann
Brodeuria
Y2K
Planet Boob [a binary planet system – the orbiting sister planet is called “Bob” to avoid confusion] located 7 trillion light years from reality. The name is self explanatory.
I like a more appropriate name like…
Hydra or Liquida or The Water Planet.
They should call it Dolos.
(Greek for deceit.)
R
Thanks everyone, my ribs hurt from laughing (you will be hearing from my personal injury lawyer).

GRUBERTOPIA
Why not call it Tlön, after the imaginary planet in the short story ‘Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius’ by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges.
From Wikipedia: “In the story, an encyclopedia article about a mysterious country called Uqbar is the first indication of a massive conspiracy of intellectuals to imagine (and thereby create) a world known as Tlön.”
Doesn’t that sound about right?
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead world.
“Give us this day our daily mask”
Area 51
Planet CarboPhobia
Gaia. It’s fictional, already at the center of the green hypothesis, and has the added bonus of rhyming with Kaya.
Wow, just wow to go through the list of nominations :).
Maybe best woould be a combination of some very good names like: Planet Gaia-Noradat-Gigo?
Dearth.
Klepton, possibly Omniklepton
Simple: E-Earth
It only exists in digital form.
{ earth }
It’s not part of the program and never executes.
