I have used this blog as a public diary, like Dr. Johnston. I like to consider it ahead of its time, but I won't be around to see if I am right. It is a compulsion to write, because its like the Harry Potter memory thing, pluck it out of your mind and forget it.
So, I am stopping my weather forecast, earthquake forecast, etc. There is no more geophysics in the world, it has all stopped with the trumpy purge. Perhaps it still exists, but I'm the only one looking at it, and if I say it's gone, it's gone.
You can accept all the 'reasons' for the weather, that come after the fact, and are never right in prediction. This is the fun life without physics. You can grumble about it getting colder, and the only reason will be 'It's getting colder.". This is truly the life of the 'Clockwork Universe' of the Earth being the centre of the Universe. Add another gear, when there are new results.
The big question is 'How soon' do we climb out of this? You'll never get that answer, because the politicians won't admit we are into anything, and they control all the physics spending.
My previous attempts to exit have all failed because of my compulsion to shout into the dark of the Universe. However, now I can shout at Gemini 2.5, and they can give a summary that pooh-poohs everything I say. I'll bind these 'letters' into a book that can gather dust for 100 years. And then, people will say "Man, what an idiot."
It's been fun. Hope natgas doesn't go through the roof.
