The Invincible Ignorance Of The Western Governing Class

 The traditional theology of the Judaeo-Christian world has a useful concept known as invincible ignorance.

One of the most difficult and highly specialist tasks in the counter-intelligence community is that of interdicting the agents of influence of hostile powers so that they cannot create or maintain a climate of invincible ignorance by deploying linguistic warfare, gaining control of our news media, suppressing freedom of speech, corrupting the minds of young people in schools and universities, canceling those who dare to speak the truth and eventually prosecuting or even executing the few brave and independent souls who continue to commit the gravest of all mortal sins against hate-filled totalitarianism: to dare to step out of the Party Line and politely suggest that the Emperor's valet must have been off duty this morning.

What if invincible ignorance has become so well established that the enemies of liberty and democracy, free markets and prosperity do not have to do anything except sit and wait until the hated free West collapses all by itself?

There is a visible overlap between the invincible ignorance of the Jareds of this world on how many beans make five and the invincible ignorance of the wider governing class in the West on the climate question.

Contrast Jared's invincible ignorance with the alertness of the preceding administration.

First, if temperature-feedback strength has not changed since 1850, final warming by doubled CO2 - roughly equal to all anthropogenic warming this century - will be 1.1 K, not 2 to 5 K. Secondly, if the feedback strength has changed since 1850, one cannot use feedback analysis to predict global warming at all, because an increase of just 0.01 in the feedback multiplier would be enough to put up this century's warming from 2 to 5 K. Since uncertainties in data and in process understanding altogether prevent the constraint of feedback variables to any such precision as 0.01, feedback analysis cannot be used to predict global warming.

The warming since 1850 is only 1.1 K. Since the sensitivity-relevant feedbacks are short-acting, 1.1 K is the final warming we may expect this century from anthropogenic causes.
