Our resident cartoonist Josh writes:
That crushing moment… As some have noted if the planet has healed itself in 3 weeks then there is no climate crisis and no action needed.
I think Greens are beginning to realize this and feeling slightly alarmed.

Like his work? Send him a quid for when the pubs reopen.
Then there’s this:
I cannot even begin to describe the public backlash that will occur if #Corinavirus kills fewer Americans this year than the flu. For starters, the medical establishment will look like even bigger fools than the #ClimateChange establishment
This is how to ensure that doesn’t happen. Just call all deaths Corona-caused.

I’d like to return to computer modelling for a moment.
In engineering we knew the stuff, the equations, the parameters long before computers and used to do the work with slide rules and graph paper. Brunel designed many structures and Radar design in WW2 did not use a computer, they used intellect and understanding. From this point transferring the whole lot to computers for speed and accuracy was obvious. There are zero (None at all) free parameters in these engineering models, we know everything necessary to make very accurate predictions.
Climate and Virus spread have no known rules, we don’t know enough to even begin the process. But the climate modellers think they do and “free parameters” are treated as simple tuning elements, many of which interact. There is no hope that these models predict anything, but rather than try to get the underlying science correct, they use all kinds of guesses to get the results they want! The elimination of the little ice age and medieval warm period prove it beyond doubt, they do not have a model at all but a useless piece of computer nonsense. When we have a climate model with no free parameters which cannot be proved by actual science we will have something workable, until then it is all nonsense. Try writing a computer game with a number of random free parameters, it will be so chaotic that a human will not even be able to begin to play it, as every run will give a completely different game. It is that simple.
Actually, …
Covid-19 is saving lives : https://www.zerohedge.com/health/covid-19-saving-lives
Sorry, but Dinesh is an idiot talking head.
New York just passed 4000 nCOV dead per 10M population. New Jersey is over 2000. Nor is the NY epicenter the only place: Louisiana is over 1600.
If flu typically kills 0.1% to 0.2% – that’s 1000 to 2000 per 10M per year.
Italy and Spain overall are already over 3000, while Belgium and France are 2000 and counting with several other European nations following.
New York is likely to hit at least 6000 – possibly 8000 or more per 10M pop. Lombardy region in Italy hit 10000 and counting.
Brilliant quote
Can someone help me with Josh’s reference? Who said the Earth has healed itself in three weeks? What is that referring to? Thanks!
