Excellent analysis. But it overlooks one important factor: people are getting fatter. Fat is a thing. It's trendy. Fat chicks on magazine covers. Criticism is forbidden. All that added weight and the law of conservation of angular momentum means the speed of the earth around the sun is slowing. We see this in the addition of leap seconds most years. The slower velocity causes the earth to drift closer to the sun, increasing the flux density of solar radiation, raising the temperature. My theory is as good as theirs, and my model agrees more closely with observed temperatures than theirs do. I would get it published in Science or Nature but observations of fat people are censored.

A brilliant piece of writing, as usual. One of the problems I have with you is that it's often quite difficult to pick out a favorite line to quote, and this one is filled with humdingers. But for whatever reason, I think this hit me hardest:

"They want us to freeze in the dark, and starve to death while doing it."

This, man.

It feels like this is the enemy's purest version of its own Final Solution, buried in the darkest corner of its mind. Beneath the Grand Guignol horrors of mass biomedical experiments and witch hunts; beneath the perpetual gaslighting and transhumanist freakshow exhibits; beneath even the sexual sale and mutilation of children. It's almost as if I can hear those two thoughts churning away: "Starve them. Freeze them. "

And thanks so much for your recommendation, John. Coming from you, it's one hell of a compliment (pun intended?).
