Everyone went along with this and complied . All of a sudden scene change and the scientists of wisdom suddenly realise they haven’t emphasised enough or in other words have been not doing their watchkeeping with sufficient efficiency to keep in line with alterations to weather scenarios and wham Bang we have panic. To find seamen joining this panic mob , who are the one profession who live with all types of weather and have seen weather that even the so called experts never have Disconcerts me a bit. Let nature take its course , let humanity get its knickers out of the twist everyone is trying to screw tighter , the world has been through multi so called climate changes over Millions of years and will always do so. Humankind adjusts to the the weather not the other way
round. Take a leaf out of Noah’s book and go and build luxury passenger ships if the condition gets worse over the next 10,000 years if the punitive efforts to slow it down don’t work. Our world according to the life of the Sun has about 15 million years of life left , what’s the betting the same argument will be going on when the lights go out.
