There are no surprises in the scientific results summarized in these reports. Unfortunately, but also completely insecure, no politician in power, even more pretend to be listening to scientific warnings. Perhaps that is why scientific advice has become increasing (both on the network, so much. Fossil fluidist and military).
Trump’s choice (formally made by the usual around 50000 voters of oscillating state) as the US commander. UU. In chief, that is. The leading oligarchic psychopath in the remaining formal democracies has obviously made his own until around 2022, when it became evident that the dirty accumulation of Paris is little hotter, exactly as James Hansen said at the end of November 2015, it was destined to be, unnecessary green washing theater,
This theater was what the main politicians (dare, if you can, for a moment to consider the processes that make them lead … I’m sorry) until recently they concluded the only sources of information that since 1980 they intend to be listening to (except their own zero number), namely:
1. The measurements of political opinion, of which public opinion since the late sixties has been an echo function: they are a kind of self -fulfilling prophecies, which is why it occurs: as an instrument that makes political discussions and redundant scientific arguments for “politicians”. Gallup invented Delphi’s modern oracle, at least when he says what the main lights want to hear (and it is quite easy to make exactly that) and
2. What they call “the market”: the oligarchs mentioned above (as only a few still remember, market competition produces their own death, oligopolies and monopolies. Then they become “the market”).
In general, they felt that most people would only “understand” climate change if they were presented as a kind of entertainment and new magic that makes money, a new growth instrument in “the economy”, as they often call “the market.” “Optimism”, etc., you know. When it is completely with the era to wait, see FX. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kza9hnp3av4&t=962s&pp=ygurywxizxj0igymfydgxldhq%3D – At least something obvious became, that this was not the case, it was just a matter of how long it would take, before * Reagan’s real climate policies, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama would change from somewhat green businesses with vegetable washing such as fair and extremely common businesses, openly proclaimed first first by the queen of the tea festival Sarah Palin: “Drill!” and then repeated in different types of demagation by everyone else. The laws of nature do not count in politics, they are only * superficially * recognized through catastrophic events. As a famous Danish politician said around 1920: “° If these are the facts, then deny the facts.”
So, now the “vision” of policy formulators is a new type of “magic”: a new meme/hype, etc.: “For Silicon Valley, AI is not just about replacing some works. It’s about replacing them all” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/12/for-silicon-valley-ai -isnt-just-about-replacing-some-jobs-its-bit-replacing-all-oF-Them#comment-171521044 (except yours, of course). Suddenly, our geniuses have invented the eternal machine that supplies energy in eternity. Humanity has become extremely cheap and redundant, Die Endlösung der Menschenfrage is at hand. Etc.
We live in the era of commercials. The news is commercial, the policy is commercial, the culture is commercial: all in the public sphere (the private sphere is unpleasant as outdated) has become propaganda: we live in a new type of totalitarianism.
Or rather, as the late Norwegian poet Georg Johannesen wrote in 1981: “In 1945, Goebbels went to the United States and changed his name to Gallup.” From Reagan, it was easy to anticipate Trump, Musk, Putin, XI, etc., if I had understood what fascism and stalinism caused: the dictatorial demand of capital of an infinite exponential growth, if necessary, if necessary, the physical elimination of any protest (stalinism/communism became the state of the capital of Eastern capital.
Like Jeffrey S. Dukes he learned in 2003 in his article “Enurding Sunshine. Human consumption of ancient solar energy” https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/5212176.pdf There is a hidden secret behind the apparently magical and endless ascent in productivity in modern industrial systems. It is the enormous concentration of energy in fossil fuels, achieved only through its natural “production” during sedimental burial and slow transformation for tens of millions of years. “The next time you are filled at the service station, reflect this figure: it took more than 23 tons of plants to produce each and every liters of gasoline that pumps in its tank.” https://plus.maths.org/content/burning-buried-sunshine . Since fossil fuels are, therefore, a finite resource, this “productivity” is a limited blessing in time, and as Albert A. Bartlett explains in the mentioned video call, this time is faster and faster. Even if there were no climate gas emissions of fossil fuels, however, we would be in a dangerous situation, created by the spontaneous illusion of “productivity” inherent in the very nature of fossil fuels. They constitute an ecological trap for Homo sapiens.
But if you understand only some of that, you cannot be a politician: everyone in power feels that what you say is an imminent danger to its rule. Politics is what Strindberg in 1880 called “the public lie” (in his satire “Det Nya Riket” – “The New Kingdom”). Real science can only be heard, where capital policy (oligarchy and demagogy, at least to some extent, has given way to realism and democracy. As is also recently shown by Tony Blair now aligned openly aligned with Trump https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inractive/2025/may/11/will-labour-stick-with-or-abandon-net-zero (Surprise, surprise! No. If you remember Iraq and Bush II). Of course, the Starmer, etc. Soon it will be Chamberlain to that, because “net zero” will not happen, it was always another green washing of business as usual https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00139157.2025.2434494#abstract https://www.fastcompany.com/90659281/the-world-is-aiming-for -net-zero-emissions-by-2050-its-t-t-admit-Dmit-int-NT-Not-EHOUGH . It is based on fantasies of future technologies that do not exist.
What Blair means is the abandonment of anything other than “drill, baby, drill!”, But that old secret is too much even for the guardian. There is never any discussion about the rate and carbon dividend, because “all” (the oligarchs and their propagandists, the “economists”, etc., have silently decided that this is not going. Why would it mean that the great pollutants would have to change their lifestyle and the illusion of an exponential and non -purpose growth that would have to be abandoned?
