Twelve Years On!

Today, I got a copy of my medical records from 2012, the time of my second hospital admission for mental health.

I have just had a brief look through the notes.  It seems that, in the intervening 12 years, not much has changed.  I still believe The End is Nigh.  The only difference is, we're 12 years closer to that happening!

And what has changed in the meantime?  War with Russia.  War in The Holy Land.  Trump In, Out, and (hopefully in November) In again.   And a switch in the UK from Tory to Labour rule.

But let's be optimistic.  The Bible says we must work for a living, and even with The End Nigh (which in fact is more accurately the End of The Age rather than the End of The World), we should not shirk in earning our daily bread.  The onset of Climate Change will require an upheaval in the economy with many new jobs being created (and old ones destroyed).  So too will Artificial Intelligence.  So let's roll-up our sleeves and get on with jump-starting a Green Economy!

Prayer and Tablets

I pray to God, and He answers by talking back to me through an inner voice.  I draw great comfort from this, knowing for sure than I am not alone.

The final Laodicean Church puts its faith in doctors and medicine above healing from our Creator, God!

Beyond Blue Sky 2025 - Chapter 2b

Climate Sensitivity Quantifying temperature increase in relation to CO2 volume depends on 'climate sensitivity'.  Commonly, this refers to temperature increase resulting from CO2 doubling since the pre-industrial times atmospheric baseline of 280ppm to approx. 550ppm.  The IPCC models predict a range of 2C to 4.5C above 1900, with a best estimate of 3C.  As of June 2024, the world is currently at 427ppm and 1.55C above 1900. Although both temperature and atmosphere water vapor will continue to increase, specific impacts will depend on geographical location.  For example, higher latitudes together with mid-continental locations are expected to warm sooner and faster.  Also, high rainfall areas should get wetter contrasting drier drought-prone regions.  Much modeling is in progress to predict these regional impacts in greater detail, although we mustn't also forget that it is ultimately God who sends the rains.  The challenge of climate change, particula...

An Introduction

CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTIONS - BY 2026 NOT 2050! To: My nieces and nephews, Lydia-Jo, Edie, Lizzie, Jake, Sam, Harry and Hollie THANKS & INTRODUCTION I would like to thank Erik Senior, Douglas Crawford-Brown, Caroline Kaufmann, Dr. Kay Ullmann, Brian McDonnell, Manish Agarwal, Benjamin Warr, Gillian Hartill and Peter Goldmark for their contributions to this solutions-focused book. The material it contains has been the product of over a decade worth of thinking and studying the subject from every conceivable angle, and has taken me on a personal journey through business and academia, from conviviality to solitude and back again - during which I have also read and studied over 100 books on the subject.  I hope this book serves as a useful reference to for those interested in the most pressing issue of our age.  Please feel free to comment. Yours, STEFAN RIGBY LUDGATE MA(Cantab.) ACA MBA(INSEAD), aka Stefboy73
