They played at Barrington Hall, Berkeley, 1979-1980 when I was living there.

What action is possible? "Degrowth" if that's politically possible (it's not) leading to the death of hundreds of millions because of lack of food or medical care? An overnight change from fossil energy to renewables - not physically possible. And in the general population there is little fear.

2018? One of the hottest summers in England?

I'll guess 1975. If I remember correctly, Britain had massive power shortages after the 1973-1974 OPEC oil embargo.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I certainly see a die-off starting very soon here in the US (look at the steep drop in life expectancy in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union), but I think it will be a slow process until it's not - maybe 20 years or so.

Okay. We will find out soon enough, although I don't think I'll be one of the unlucky survivors.

What is your reasoning? The only way I see that happening is with nuclear war.

No idea of the month! But I remember James Hansen saying that in 1979 Jules Carney estimated 3°C with a doubling of CO2. Also, that it probably wouldn't have been until the late 1970s that the climate alarmists would even think of a 5°C sensitivity because of aerosol unmasking.

I'll guess 1978.

Yes I am very happy I'm now retired. Now trying my best not to fall into depression from the political insanity.

Twenty years from now? At the rate we're going, I'd say more like twenty days!

Couldn't have said it better. Unfortunately, I think it'll be an agonizing death.

Through Jan 28, Jan 2025 is 1.75°C above pre-industrial from the ERA5 dataset.

Thanks!

Found it!

Thanks again. I didn't see the search feature, only the Antarctic view. Then I had to look up the longitude of the glacier. Much easier this way.
