They say the victor writes the history of a period, and that may be so.  But when enough time has passed it must be the case that the present will be seen as truly bizarre when it comes to the demise of the natural sciences and our understanding of the physical world around us.  This must especially be the case when it comes to how energy moves in it, especially heat.

Thermal energy, or heat, is the energy that comes from the movement of atoms and molecules in a substance.  Heat increases when these particles move faster.

Rather than acknowledging that most of the heating on planet Earth comes from the Sun, and how this energy is distributed changes with the seasons because of the tilt of the Earth relative to the Sun.  Instead of acknowledging this – and considering how most of the heating occurs at the equator with the heat transferred to the poles – we have even the right of politics promoting the nonsense idea that global warming from carbon dioxide is real and it’s manmade.    I’m quoting Bjorn Lomborg, that is what he keeps repeating, and Jordon Peterson has made him the chief scientists, for the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship that is attempting to rewrite the story for the right of politics in The West. 

This is the meme that has swept across the West with the ruling class pretending their scientists, who are often just political scientists, can not only know the average temperature of the Earth, but also control the temperature of the Earth.   

To be able to do this, they will, of course, need to be able to dial back this heating as it moves from the equator to the poles, or should they be dialling it up?

Which should it be?  

To dial down the average temperature of the Earth, should we be seeking to increase the yearly average heat transport poleward, or slow it down?
