Excellent article. The different between The Enchanted Forest that ~1/2 the population of Western Countries believe in and the Real World. You could do a similar article for wind & solar energy. The Real World has always had a way of slapping gullible people in the head.

Alternative title to this piece could be, "The Facts of Life".

Well done. Thank you for broadcasting Jusper Machogu.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) appointed me to the role of unpaid referee for the manuscript of its recently published Climate Assessment Report 6.. Acting from my position as unpaid referee, I warned the editors of this manuscript that to publish this manuscript in the form that I had read would be seriously misleading to a reader of it as the runs of the climate models that were referenced by this document conveyed nil information gain to a regulatory official about the conditional outcomes of the events of the future for Earth's climate system, precluding regulation by this official of this system but the manuscript implied that regulation of this system by this official was possible. When the editors ignored my warning, I appealed to the Chair of the IPCC and to the chief statistician of the United Nations' but neither individual responded to my appeal. Thus, for United Nations Climate Assessment Report 6, the appearance of peer review of it is a sham. This piece of logical and scientific nonsense is, however, the cause of an impending catastrophe under which people die because farmers and manufacturers of chemical fertilizers are deprived of the fossil fuels that they need for the purpose of preventing mass starvation amongst the world's poor people. The events that recently transpired in Sri Lanka provide us with forewarning of this catastrophe.
