“Given the growing threat from climate change and the related risk of escalating disasters including extreme weather events, immediate risks of destruction and exacerbation of poverty, disease and food insecurity, and human displacement, it becomes more imperative each day to better understand the psychology of human action and inaction in order to foster behavioral changes to secure greater safety and predictability.”

A stationary low with snowfall has formed over Colorado. On the outskirts of this low, secondary low centers are forming, one of the cold fronts will reach Texas and pull air from the Gulf of Mexico.

My 1Jan2023 proposal to Steve Kirsch re Covid-19 toxic vaxxes – remedial measures: Subject: IMPORTANT – A BETTER IDEA: What we need right now is a voluntary, inexpensive, effective treatment protocol Hi Steve Kirsch, The Covid-19 vaxxes are highly toxic and ineffective. We should never vaccinate into an pandemic because the vaccines will cause variants – basic Darwin biology – in the same way that antibiotics can cause antibiotic-resistant bacteria. What we need most right now is a voluntary, inexpensive, effective, over-the-counter treatment protocol for Covid-19 and the vaxx-injured, who we can assume includes everyone who is vaxxed for Covid-19. This will SAVE LIVES! We could start this program in Florida and Alberta and it will grow. DeSantis is competent and so is our new Alberta Premier.

The two experimental Covid-19 vaccines that contain mRNA (Pfizer and Moderna) are especially risky – due to unknown future side-effects, the risk-to-reward is far too high for the low-risk group.” ON PREDICTIONS “The ability to correctly predict is the best objective measure of scientific and technical competence.” (Ref. CorrectPredictions.ca) What constitutes the “best” prediction? The best prediction is the earliest AND the most accurate description of future events. This best prediction of important consequences SHOULD enable society to properly plan for the future and avoid major costly and destructive errors. Unfortunately , in the case of both the Climate and Covid scams, correct early predictions of disastrous outcomes by me and others were ignored, and society was manipulated by a multi-billion dollar fear-driven propaganda campaign that squandered trillions of dollars and millions of lives. The Climate and Covid scams were promoted by scoundrels and imbeciles – the scoundrels, the promoters of these scams, knew they were lying; the imbeciles believed them – wolves stampeding the sheep. The Leninist/Goebbels fear-based propaganda tactics used by the authorities to enforce the Climate and Covid scams were the same, and the same totalitarian “usual suspects” supported both scams and even linked them”, saying “To solve Covid we must solve Climate” – utter nonsense . Most academics are reluctant to make predictions, because predictions are high-risk and they don’t want to be wrong. Academics typically write about the past, and in this regard they often, but not always, exhibit 20:20 hindsight. However, their observations are of limited value in developing policy, because they are too late – the disasters had already occurred. We are starting to see the beginning of a future flood of academic papers condemning in hindsight the Climate and Covid scams, now that the damage of these scams has become obvious and the risk of speaking out has diminished. These latecomers may help to correct current errors, but unfortunately, most of the damage has already been done. Some say “Better late than never”, to which I counter “Where were you when we needed you?” In too many cases, they were on the side of the scammers, who vilified those of us who, years earlier, made the correct calls against these egregious scams. In summary, their contributions were not helpful, but were, in total, destructive. The lesson here is that policy makers should be consulting the “best” predictors, the earliest and most accurate, if they hope to avoid the grievous errors of recent decades, that have wasted trillions of dollars and cost many millions of lives.

EPILOGUE
Happy New Year everyone!
We’ve published everything we needed to say long ago – our condemnation of the Climate-and-Green-Energy scam dates from Nov2002.
My condemnation of the Covid-19 Lockdowns-and-“Vaccines” scam dates from 21Mar2020.
Best regards to all, Allan MacRae SCIENTIFIC COMPETENCE – THE ABILITY TO CORRECTLY PREDICT “The ability to correctly predict is the best objective measure of scientific and technical competence.” by Allan M.R. MacRae, B.A.Sc. (Eng.), M.Eng., October 20, 2021. Update December 24, 2022 https://CorrectOredictions.ca/ Our scientific predictions on both Climate and Covid are infinitely more accurate than the mainstream narratives, which have been false and baselessly alarmist to date.
BACKGROUND
As described in the above paper, My co-authors and I correctly identified the Climate-and-Green-Energy fraud in 2002, as follows: The PEGG, November 2002 1. “Climate science does not support the theory of catastrophic human-made global warming – the alleged warming crisis does not exist.” 2. “The ultimate agenda of pro-Kyoto advocates is to eliminate fossil fuels, but this would result in a catastrophic shortfall in global energy supply – the wasteful, inefficient energy solutions proposed by Kyoto advocates simply cannot replace fossil fuels.” – by Sallie Baliunas (Astrophysicist, Harvard-Smithsonian), Tim Patterson (Paleoclimatologist, Carleton U), Allan MacRae (Professional Engineer, retired (Queen’s U, U of Alberta)
I correctly identified the destructive–and-ineffective Covid-19 Lockdown scam in Feb2020 and published in Mar2020.
21March2020 LET’S CONSIDER AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH: Isolate people over sixty-five and those with poor immune systems and return to business-as-usual for people under sixty-five. This will allow “herd immunity” to develop much sooner and older people will thus be more protected AND THE ECONOMY WON’T CRASH.
Six months later world experts published the ~same recommendations in the Great Barrington Declaration.
I advised our Alberta and Federal governments on 8Jan2021 that the Covid-19 “Vaccines” were TOXIC AND INEFFECTIVE and should not be deployed and that also proved correct. That was the second part of the Covid-19 scam – to peddle billions of dollars of toxic, ineffective injections that have now killed or harmed many more people than the Covid-19 virus.
I emailed to the Alberta government, other politicians and media on 8Jan2021:
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS RE COVID-19
There is no real Covid-19 pandemic. Covid-19 was only dangerous to the very elderly and infirm, and is similar in average mortality to other seasonal flu’s of recent decades.
The Covid-19 PCR test is not fit-for-purpose and provides many false positives.
Routine testing of asymptomatic people is a waste of resources and drives erroneous policies including lockdowns.
The Covid-19 lockdowns were never effective or justified. Harm done by the lockdowns exceeds by 10 to 100 times the harm from Covid-19. End all lockdowns now and do not lockdown again.
Simple, inexpensive treatments are known to save lives – Vitamin D, Ivermectin etc. Why are these treatments not being widely recommended and implemented by Alberta authorities?
The increase in deaths of the elderly in Winter is a well-established seasonal phenomenon. “Excess Winter Deaths” in the four Winter months routinely average about 100,000 per year in the USA and about 10,000 per year in Canada, as described on our 2015 summary of Excess Winter Mortality that includes the landmark Lancet study.
The Covid-19 vaccine developments were rushed and are not proven safe or effective and should NOT be taken, especially by the low-risk population – those under-65 or recovered from Covid-19. The two experimental Covid-19 vaccines that contain mRNA (Pfizer and Moderna) are especially risky – due to unknown future side-effects, the risk-to-reward is far too high for the low-risk group.
Politics, lobbying and powerful ideologic preferences are what have brought the term “renewable” into vogue in the first place. This also means that what’s included as renewable differs from place to place. California specifically excludes large hydro power but includes small hydropower stations. Not because large hydro emits more carbon or doesn’t rely on the renewing resource of rain but rather because California policymakers decided dams posed too great an ecologic impact and didn’t want to prioritize building more large dams. In other places, renewables includes large hydro. The fact that the definition of what’s renewable varies from place to place, contributes to confusion and lack of clarity. When folks in California hear that there are Canadian provinces running almost entirely on renewable energy, they may think that means they’ve succeeded in building out lots of wind and solar. In fact, it’s predominantly large hydro—which isn’t counted as “renewable” in California.
Nuclear’s Contributions to Clean Energy are Sidelined
The biggest problem by far with using the term renewable, however, is that it is invariably defined to exclude nuclear power. This causes the entire nuclear industry—which for decades has produced more clean energy than all other low-carbon sources combined—to be discounted and even sometimes excluded. Not surprising since nuclear has long been maligned and even demonized. Even so, the omission of nuclear as a renewable energy source, whether intentional or not, causes significant problems for those trying to use good data to address climate change.
Having endured the Christmas blizzard here in Buffalo NY, I haven’t heard how our wind turbines on Lake Erie functioned. In general, do wind turbines have to be shut down during a blizzard or hurricane, or can they operate unimpaired during strong winds?
Justice Minister Yariv Levin on Wednesday announced a wide-ranging and highly controversial overhaul of Israel’s judicial and legal system which, if enacted, would amount to arguably the most drastic changes ever to Israel’s system of government.
The changes set out by Levin during a press conference at the Knesset would severely limit the authority of the High Court of Justice, give the government control over the judicial selection committee, and significantly limit the authority of government legal advisers.
The justice minister, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, claimed that judicial activism had ruined public trust in the legal system and made it impossible for governments to rule effectively.
It looks like the psychologists are trying to figure out how to brainwash the public better about the benign gas, CO2. Apparently, past efforts to scare people are not getting the results they want.
