>It's another to see scientific data on how much of the planet is going to be rendered inhospitable, how many climate refugees there will be and-

Scientific data cannot make predictions. It can only state what was observed, empirically, in a (hopefully) controlled setting, with maximum limitation on confounding variables. The act of projecting some expected representation of the future, using past observations, involves some degree of something that *isn't* science at all, typically statistics - the creation of a model, an attempt at creating a representation of the future, based on a finite set of past observations.

We cannot observe the future and thus cannot verify the model's output rigorously in the present. We can anticipate/approximate some things fairly well, by extrapolating from so called "natural laws" that we have discovered - things like gravity, thermodynamics, Maxwell's equations. What we cannot observe, and have much more difficulty in anticipating, is whether the system we expect to be closed (i.e. conformant to a natural law) will actually be so in the future (will confounding variables make their way in over time?).

Since systems such as climate (indeed most all systems) can never be considered "closed" systems in practice, they cannot be anticipated with any real degree of "natural law" scientific accuracy beyond, say, a few weeks. This goes for tracking meteors or anticipating volcanic eruptions etc as well. The user must understand the limitations of these models and be cautious in relying too heavily on any of their outputs. Unless, of course, the user is incentivized to outright ignore or abuse the limitations of the models to cook up results which serve their own vested interests... fuck the truth for a $ (grant money).

The biggest issue with most statistical modeling is the creator designing it with an expected outcome in mind and calling it "science". There's nothing scientific about that.

I agree, OP. We need:

SHLL pumping this late in the after hours? Nice

I’m honestly not that smart and lots of time feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. And no I didn’t because I had no money to buy it with kek. I’m literally a guy who rides on the back of a garbage truck and make 28k a year.

We have only 2 more market days until SHLL merger. Will they pump today?

Anyone live in a trailer? I have 60k in my robin hood account and want to move out of my parents house and quit my job. Trailer seems like the cheapest option.
