VISCOUNT MONCKTON'S MORE INTELLIGENT OLDER ROLE MODEL FALLS VICTIM TO CORONAVIRUS

QUADRANT SADLY REPORTS THE PASSING OF A GREAT MAN:

Valé the “Loins of Longleat” Alexander Thynn 7th Marquess of Bath ...passed away in early April at the age of 87, he was among the first coroneted victims of coronavirus (Could he have caught it from one of his lions?)

Elizabeth I...to see Longleat... had a courtier write to Sir John Thynne  in 1574. Five centuries later Elizabeth II was... attending a Thynne family wedding — where the cake was said to be laced with LSD. ERII was observed to exhibit no side effects, so it is presumed she had declined but had let them eat cake...

But the wildest cat in the park , Alexander... wasn’t always like that. Young Alexander (from 1946, Viscount Weymouth), had followed the traditional route: Eton (a member of Pop), the Life Guards, Oxford (president of the Bullingdon), before going to Paris to paint. There, in the City of Light, something happened – he converted to polygyny, pantheism, and pretty well everything that would annoy his father.

 BEING A CLIMATE BORE EXCEPTED:
Key-indicator analysis, the Chinese virus and the climate scam

By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley

Models! Dontcha just wish your taxes didn’t have to pay for them?

First there was the Imperial College model that predicted 500,000 deaths in the UK and 40 million worldwide from the Chinese virus in the absence of control measures, by the end of this year. Control measures were introduced in the worst-affected countries, so we shall never know how credible that prediction was.

One could argue that there has been quite a bit of warming since 2011, but one must also allow for more forcing since then as well. One could push up the equilibrium sensitivity to CO2 and make it around 1.5-1.6 K (Lewis & Curry 2018).

But the point is that with this simple analysis based on key indicators we are very likely to be somewhere inside the ballpark. But just look at the various profitable predictions of global warming made by the climate models:
