Very interesting. I think it would be fascinating to get all the assorted datasets - without the ‘adjustments’ if possible - and then set ChatGPT 4 loose with the question “what do you find interesting or unusual about this data? I.e no priors in the analysis. I saw a YouTube with two techies doing this with data from the New York lottery and the use of unbiased prompts was very interesting. With a few days and some clean data the AI could write a series of valuable papers to add to the (lack of) discussion on the subject.
The other thing I would add is that, far from the Climate Industry copying the tactics of the lockdown SPI-B propagandists, it was the other way around! It’s just that the Green Industrial Complex has pushed its way to the front of the trough again.
Mark thanks for your comments. I might well give the ChatGPT suggestion a go. I have been meaning to explore AI apps for a while and this will be an interesting exercise. Regarding the covid-19 narrative I simply meant that there were strong analogies to climate change as opposed to copying.
"trusted components of our societies including governments, main stream media (MSM) and scientific journals." LOL. Only trusted by the dumb ones of society. Oh, yeah, the majority...
Thank you for the article. Fossil fuels may not be so finite as we think. The article is probably behind a paywall but there is plenty of other information out there on the subject.
Is Fossil Fuel Actually Produced Renewably Inside the Earth? Some Scientists Theorize ‘Abiotic’ Origins of Oil
"Most people are taught that petroleum is formed deep under the Earth over the course of millions of years and is derived from the remains of plankton, plants, and other biological organisms. This explanation is stated matter-of-factly on certain government and educational websites.
This theory for oil formation is, however, just that—a theory. There is an opposing view that has substantial evidence to back it up.
Credence for oil’s organic origin (biotic origin) is strong in the United States, while the idea of an inorganic origin (abiotic origin) has long been accepted among post-Soviet scientists. Some American scientists have also jumped on the abiotic train, scorned though it may be by most of their peers.
They point to problems posed by the idea that oil comes from dead plants.
When a plant or animal dies, very little of its matter is buried. Nature recycles—some of nature’s greatest recyclers are insects, microorganisms, fungi, and bacteria. Has enough organic matter really been buried below the Earth to create trillions of barrels of oil?
Moreover, the biotic theory holds that organic matter must fit within the “oil window” before becoming oil. The oil window refers to a set of conditions, including reaching a particular depth (1 to 2.5 miles) where the temperature is right (140 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit) for oil to be produced.
Proponents of the alternative, abiotic theory, say oil may instead be a primordial substance that rises up from the Earth’s depths through fissures. Thus, oil might originate independently of organic sources undergoing chemical processes, similar to how methane is found on asteroids or in other barren environments.
Skeptics say methane is a simpler substance than petroleum; the process of forming the hydrocarbons in petroleum is more complex and the same logic might not hold."
