    I confess I continue to be dismayed. I was just talking to a glaciologist friend & collaborator of yours who is now seriously reconsidering whether to continue working with you, which is a great shame considering the quality & importance of your work. I don't doubt your sincerity. It is your judgment in this I am concerned about. You must know you are endangering, have endangered the trust so many have put in you based on your reputation for uncompromising truth-telling. I am wondering if your bitcoin dreams have begun to appear more nightmarish yet? This particularly after the grifter-in-chief's $60 billion shitcoin fiasco. The accumulation of money in all its forms is inarguably the root of all evil, notwithstanding its utility. The accumulation of fakery that much moreso. Exchanging one form of demonstrable evil for another is not a profitable path to follow. I wouldn't bother writing to someone I didn't admire. I have only the greatest admiration for someone who is able to admit they made a mistake. It is those who are never able to admit mistakes I really worry about. I continue to pray for your soonest return to the fold from the cess-pit of money & energy folly. All the best, truly.

    HOLY - you really are deeply indoctrinated by weirdos of economical theory. This is soooooo sad. There is no "borrowing of the future". Never will be. This is pure bullcrap. People work NOW... and what they NOW get is what is important. If you want to give them something later... STILL later people do work. This whole idea of having an economy that somehow is dealing with the future just does not work. It's a nice trick economists use to finally find arguments for creating huge inequalities to then be able to claim there will be someday sort of "balance". The so called "hard money" system never really existed. Yes you have in past some material we sort of value to sort of "back up" money. But in the end... it also still relied on the value of the material. When the whole society needs food you really dont care for gold. Value ALWAYS is relative. Cause only in our heads the concept of value exists! The idea that war is about "money" is absurd. Please - if you have no idea about psychology, sociology and history ... this is really OK. But dont make such absurdly bad assumption and fall into a deep rabbit hole! You are academic, right? Talk to others of other subjects. Talk to historians and sociologists who work on the field of "war" and find out HOW MANY different reasons are there for STARTING wars. Yes - in wars there is also in the last few hundred years a lot profit that is made. But this is not what starting war is about. REALLY not! One thing should be really something you now, right? Basic logic: If you have a WRONG assumption you could come to ANY result (right AND wrong). So in complex scenarios you really want to sort out wrong assumptions. PLEASE... in older videos you seemed to be a nice guy... dont push yourself in a really crazy corner cause there are some assumptions YOU LIKE (!!!!) and therefor falsely think they must be true. Hard money doesn't solve anything. Money as an abstract ressourcen is about the production value of a national (regional/international) economy. Money needs to be flexible because economy is moving. Money needs also to be VERY stable cause people dont want huge price differences. Just a few percentages more over one year gives huge issues in the economy. Money is really not that easy as many economists want to think. The neoclassic even dismissed discussion about money for many decades. And of course people must TRUST money - and they only do it if everybody uses it. This can only be achieved by a mandatory usage of one currency. The only instance that can provide this is a state. And state is doing this by taxes. Thats why taxes (also) are very important: They lead to a trust in the value of the currency if the economy overall does perform well enough. And really: Cryptos are NOT a currency. NOT AT ALL. They are unstable as hell dont provide flexibility that is needed and can't be used as a nation wide payment system and they even let explode inequality cause the early adaptors are the rich guys in that system. The reason why Bitcoin is pushed (and therefor uses absurd amounts of calculations energy) is because the folks there want to go on make money. Yes - the real money. It's a financial virtual concept just to make people buy it so the early adaptors get rich. This is SOOOOOOO easy to understand. You are falling in a rabbit hole of a really absurd ideology. Please... get out of there before its too late.

It's just another financial gambling product. Thats it. EVERY SINGLE attribute of money is not contained in cryptos (stability, accessibility, flexibility, etc etc etc). Your claims about "bitcoin demonetizes war" is SOOOOOOOO wrong. And you still hold on to this really absurd assumption? WHY are you doing it? Do you profit by bitcoin? Hm? Be honest? Try to think about a funny little thing about "interest conflict"? Naaaaahhhh... of course... this could never happen to you. Only to others.

    From a U.S. perspective, wealthy mega donors and corporations rule the world, politicians and governmental policy (blatant example is Musk buying his way to The White House and now being able to influence policy via DOGE--to benefit his and his wealthy friends' interests). Corporate greed regarding valuable resources often starts wars and TAXATION funds forever wars. Bitcoin initially appears to be a more equitable place for investing, but the corporate and ultra wealthy will use Bitcoin as a tax shelter. While it's true the government will likely collect fewer taxes from Bitcoin investments, forever wars won't be on the chopping block. It will be social programs like social security, Medicare, Medicaid, school lunches, etc. The Lockheed Martin's and Halliburton's of the world will see to it. TAXATION funds forever wars--not the type of currency--which is why I find your argument confusing. Sadly, the wealthy/corporations most often prevail at everyone else's and the climate's expense.

    1 Gigaton = 1 cubic km of fresh water, water ice is a bit less dense. My rough figure is that 92 Gigatons of ice = about 100 cubic km. of ice. would you agree Jason? I just asked Grok and this is its answer: You're correct, and I appreciate the clarification. Let's adjust the calculation to account for the difference in density between water and ice. The density of ice is approximately 917 kg/m³, whereas water has a density of about 1,000 kg/m³ at 0°C. This means that ice has a volume 1/0.917 times larger than water for the same mass. Here's how we calculate: 1 Gt of water = 1 km³ of water For ice: Volume of ice = Mass / Density of ice Volume of ice = 1 Gt / 917 kg/m³ Since 1 Gt is 1 billion metric tons or 1 billion * 1,000 kg: Volume of ice = 10^9 kg / 917 kg/m³ ≈ 1.0905 km³ per Gt of water For 92 Gt of water: Volume of ice = 92 Gt * 1.0905 km³/Gt ≈ 100.33 km³ Therefore, 92 gigatons of water, when frozen into ice, would occupy approximately 100.33 cubic kilometers. Me: So, that was a good figure on my part. LOL However white ice has lots of air bubbles in it so, for this type of ice it would be more than 100.33 cu.km.

    While I would never EVER defend Jamie Dimon, in defense of Elizabeth Warren--my guess is she's most concerned about suitable regulation of the Bitcoin industry to protect defrauding of consumers. Warren was a founder of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which has saved consumers over $21 billion dollars from predatory lenders, excessive financial fees, etc. I realize you mentioned Bitcoin can be easily audited, but I don't believe there are any current SEC regulations over the industry. (I recall issues of investors even having major difficulties with resetting a forgotten password in order to access their accounts, etc., but perhaps that has been remedied.)

    0:57 In the past few months, the World's Sea Surface Temperature (SST) has declined by 0.5°C so that it has returned to the temperature in December 2015 (Daily Sea Surface Temperature World 60°N-60°S 0-360°E NOAA OISST V2.1 dataset available on the ClimateReanalyzer website). The recent off trend temperature rise began before El Niño and was not predicted by climate scientists. The size of the temperature rise was not predicted by climate scientists. The rapid cooling of the ocean back down 2015 levels before the commencement of the next La Niña was not predicted. If the heat energy content of the World's oceans has increased by 400ZJ since 1960, and the atmosphere has absorbed about ¹/100 th that amount, there is no way an increase of 100ppm of CO2 into the atmosphere has forced that much heat into the ocean. The atmosphere does not hold enough energy. It is not possible for the energy in the atmosphere to affect the ocean temperature changes seen recently or in the long term. In fact the atmosphere is not trapping more energy as the "greenhouse gas" CO2 increases, but the atmosphere is emitting increasing amounts of energy into space as longwave radiation. This is contrary to the idea of man-made global warming. Nearly all of the energy the ocean receives comes directly from sunlight.

      @BoothTheGrey The heat of 2023-2024 is not explained by the rise in gases like CO2. There has been an increase in Absorbed Solar Radiation of around +1W/m²/decade with a record anomaly in 2023 around +1.83W/m² (CERES) or +1.31W/m² (ERA5). This is correlated with Total Solar Irradiance (how shiny the Sun is), which reached an all time record-breaking high in 2023 and 2024 as confirmed by satellite measurement (SORCE and TSIS). 90% of this solar radiation is absorbed directly by the ocean. 1% is absorbed by the atmosphere. Changing Greenhouse gas concentration has no effect on this increase in ASR. There is more energy from the Sun reaching the ocean, and this is warming it, and then the ocean is warming the atmosphere, then the atmosphere is radiating this energy away into space at an increasing rate. “The EEI [Earth's Energy Imbalance] trend and 2023 peak are not associated with decreasing outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), as one would expect from increasing greenhouse-gas concentrations" "Instead, OLR has been increasing and largely offsetting even stronger absorbed solar radiation (ASR) anomalies" (Goessling et al., 2024). My point is, it's not extra CO2 warming things up.

Is deficit spending and borrowing and printing money and inflation to allow or cover wise if it means spending more than one actually has, so that it uses up and discourages savings? Why would anyone, community or state want to end up as a borrower? Its a system designed to help only lenders.

      @@EvolutionWendy oh there are outliers there’s a whole heterodox school, which may be amount to about 5% the total population of economists. Keen is known for applying system dynamics to model the economy., this is in sharp contrast to the equilibrium models that orthodox economics, the textbook stuff clings to like the Catholic Church clung to the geocentric model of the solar system. It’s interesting to know that John M Blatt, a theoretical physicist listen to a lecture of Economist and consider it to be such garbage that he wrote an entire book which I have read called “dynamic economic systems”, they’re underpin most of mainstream economic theory, which is living in the dark ages. It is the only academic occupation that roundly refuses to accept empirical data that conflicts with their theories and assumptions. And unfortunately, one set of theories and assumptions is on the nature of the monetary system, which they insist is irrelevant because it’s simply a veil on barter. This too has been long repudiated both by history and anthropology and actually how businesses and banks function. So when I hear people, unfortunately, without a background or understanding of just how bad mainstream economics is a field that studies economies and does not understand money in fact refuse to acknowledge the role of credit in the economy for aggregate demand yeah it’s just it’s very hard to watch And otherwise well educated person be sucked into a scam

    If a gold (hard money) standard stopped wars, Europe would never have had centuries of it. We wouldn’t have had World War I or II. The free banking era in the United states spanned the 1800s and the early 1900s all on the gold standard: economic boom, recession and depressions occurred every two years like clockwork just; the lack of inflation in that time span is due to the fact that people were in crushing poverty as much as there was a boom, and there was war, there was lots and lots of war. The central problem of economics is the neoclassical and Austrian schools which refuse to understand the role of money in the economy, and especially credit in the economy. 2/3 of all money is commercial debt, which is to say the money created by lending. Commercial money, loans, are not hard money. Never have been never will be. They will never be bounded by hard money. Money was never a veil over barter. Civilization right back to antiquity was never based on barter, expect on the fringes of human societies, not ever not ever all the way back to Babylon. You might read or listen to Michael Hudson on that topic or David Graeber. Read some Blair Fix on the interrelation of growth to economic consolidation to hierarchy to energy intensity. "Energy, hierarchy and the origin of inequality" Blair Fix. This account which is actually very well documented, and you can review it as you would any scientific paper relates the major factors, causing the destruction of the climate. In my opinion it's not directly stated in the article itself, but I think of it are quite clear. Economic consolidation, which is to say that global economy, national economies are climate change. Also learn yourself some MMT.

    Get some birch and beech trees going. In about 20 years or so, you can bring in beavers along the runlets where are the ice cap is thawíng. Find the water tables, they are most certainly there.

    Jason I think you would also really enjoy discussing these subjects with Nate Hagens privately or on his podcast I’m looking forward to the video in the new year Nate Hagens podcast is on UA-cam @thegreatsimplification

    You need to bring in some animals too. If you have surface water, start with beavers, but get some birch and beech going first. Where I live the land is being denuded by a multi-decade engineered drought, that's where I have to concentrate my assistance.

    In the first place, the climate is increasingly engineered, in order to control people and have them live a lie. You're in Switzerland, the country from which the world is run, except that you're close to Zurich, so you've got some distance from the premier towns of Locarno and Lugano. The Romans set up those towns for the purpose of control in the fairly early days of the Republic. They are less than 900 ft above sea level, but right up against the Alps where redoubtable retreats are located.

    ...literally have no clue what you are talking about... Keynesian systems (in the west) haven't existed in nearly fifty years, our economy (both in the UK and the US) is based on the monetarist systems of the 1980's, and if you change back to a 'hard money' system, by which I assume you mean the gold standard, all that will happen is ever greater destruction of the natural environment to fuel wealth accumulation, and the wealthiest of society ring fencing those resources and using them to control everybody else without democratic oversite... pretty much exactly as we had last time we had the gold standard, or 'Treasury View' as it was called in the UK.

    Is it possible that a transition to a hard money system could be chosen and organised as opposed to it just being a post collapse outcome?

      Actually, we would be much better off with what's called a non debt based currency economic system. The debt or credit system is the single most required and problematic aspect. "Hard money" is a transfer to a non debt based currency without changing the whole system. It would help as the currency would be much more stable but it doesn't prevent the currency from concentrating power, especially given current concentrations of currency.

    Methinks we don’t have to worry about sea level rise and long term effects. Food production will fall so low that most of humanity won’t be able to be sustained. Just around the corner. I live in a place where food is produced and it’s getting more challenging every year because of drought ,And without disastrous storms and the like. Not looking very good for the home team.

    Whatever energy yada yada, that you must speak of, in the name of environment, is totally out of control. Fact is, we are emitting close to 600,000 HIROSHIMA NagaSaki size Atom Bombs worth energy every day. Read again EVERY DAY! Unstoppable capitalism and bitcoin, very much part of the 600,000 atom bombs. End of Story.

    The most important factor is people‘s mindset towards global environment. If it continues to be consumerist it won‘t matter what money system you have. If fiat money serves consumerism they will opt for it instead of bitcoin. Only if people understand and accept our interconnections with and dependence on the web of life and the modest lifestyle this requires will there be a chance of survival. So mind decides, not money.

      if returning to the gold standard was possible it would perhaps help rein in some of the GHG growth and consumption but it would not rein in GHG emissions enough.

    There was inflation before the hard money standard was suspended in 1971. In Germany we had galloping inflation during the early 1920s.
