Climate scientists have looked at the short-term effects of the COVID slow-down and found the plausible effects to be trivial. Note that we're still on track for a record warm year globally. Although a significant La Nina might squelch that, this year will still come close.

I'm a climate scientist and I think this is way too early to call, since we're not even out of the first wave.

Why do you say you're a climate scientist? Anyway, a little discussion here from some leading ones: https://twitter.com/DrJamesEHansen/status/1260940650335305728?s=19 ….
Steve Bloom added,
James Edward Hansen @DrJamesEHansenDon’t bet on record 2020 global temperature. Depends a lot on developing Pacific temperatures, and on the unknown aerosol changes due to#COVID19. - https://mailchi.mp/caa/2020-record-warm-year-dont-bet-on-it …#ClimateChange#GlobalWarming#GlobalTemperature#CO2#aerosols pic.twitter.com/z4T3antvgn1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

I have deep background in aerosol physics, weather prediction, geoengineering, statistical mechanics, atmospheric dynamics, systems dynamics, and the physics of systems far from equilibrium. I earned a university medal, graduating in physics and computer science at 17. MIT-TR35

You're a certifiably very smart person with a solid science background, which I knew, *but* re climate science specifically you have no research history or publications, or even anything in the gray lit. 1/

I have no publications in any of these fields, and despite having 63 issued patents, I have stopped applying for those also. The system is corrupt and a waste of time.

What do you want? I've been working out of the public eye for 4 years. Stuff is coming out but it isn't out yet. Credentialism has been blown up totally by the response to covid19 if you haven't noticed. I've been focusing on that, I had no background in that at all. Still good.

If you like I consider my talks (I've given 50+) part of literature. Yes it's mainly synthesis, but some is novel, and that's important The key that climate scientists are missing is that the biosphere and human activity is an active system. You need full scale systems dynamics

Dyson would agree. I've worked with climate scientists (prof from ucsd on staff.) my cofounder has a phd in geophysics from scripps. he was working on a geoengineering sf novel before this hit, using many of my ideas. worked with nathan myhrvold on ideas publication is a timesuck

Only reason I'm being open about it now is because it's noisy enough that I can be public about it so that I have some legal defence after I do it. You've been warned!
