That dude pisses me off.
I give him a 20% chance of creating indentured servitude on Mars or just creating an elysium satellite for rich people in orbit.

Probably but the frontier is always a wild place .
Humans are expansionist to our core might as well accept it and get on with . Going way out west to chance your luck on mars has to be preferred to the lofty goals of getting a fucking huge mortgage and slaving your life away to pay it off .

I heard years ago that the westward expansion in the US had only a third of settlers survive five years out there.

Another case of Covid has appeared in the community.
A 54 year old woman who lives south of Whangarei who returned overseas and went through quarantine has developed Covid after being released from quarantine. She may have the more contagious UK variant of the virus and had tested negative while in quarantine.
Thankfully the person involved assiduously scanned everywhere she went and had a test when she felt unwell.
Two close contacts have proved negative.
A list of the places she visited has been published.
Please everyone scan wherever you go, wash your hands and wear a freakin mask.
Gillett et al. (2021) global warming attribution study
Posted on 19 January 2021 by dana1981
A new study published in Nature Climate Change, Gillett et al. (2021), is the latest in a long line of detection and attribution studies published over the past 20-plus years that have sought to quantify the factors responsible for the rise in average global surface temperatures.
Gillett et al. used Detection and Attribution Model Intercomparison Project simulations from 13 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models. The authors note that the CMIP6 historical simulations show very little net anthropogenic warming before the 1960s. This contrasts with the CMIP5 historical simulations, which showed on average approximately 0.2°C warming by the mid-twentieth century.
