Wharfie, you have confirmed you are innumerate. That's probably why you are a true believer in global doomsterism while you simultaneously "prove" that Peak Oil has passed and oil production is on the way down.
If oil production is declining, then unless it's being replaced by coal, shale or something, then CO2 emissions will also decline. When will we see Peak Coal?
Since it's fashionable to do free psycho analysis over the internet on the basis of a few self-selected blathers, here's your problem - when you were young you found yourself quite good at remembering things of a verbal nature but you found it hard to figure things out such as physics, third order partial differential maths, or even simple calculus and possibly single variable algebra and it might even be you had trouble learning to count past 10 because of ADHD.
Therefore, you were inordinately impressed by "mathematicians" and because you had pretensions to "science" because you could learn words and liked bonging and being a lazy layabout hippie, you liked Global Doomsterism aka The Greenhouse Effect. It fitted you politically too because you were envious of people with things and big incomes and capitalism in general.
To give you identity, you joined the tribe and started marching and singing, reading from the scriptures, chanting the incantations and setting about infidels, apostates, blasphemers and such barbarian heathens.
It's a lot of fun to do that which is why people flocked to Jim Jones, David Koresh, Mohammed, Adolf and other rule the world metaphysical conquistadors. Throw in some Stockholm Syndrome due to a harsh childhood at times and it's a done deal.
You need forgiveness and love Wharfie. We can love you when you abandon those evil-doers who like you, mean well, [some are simple evil-doing megalomaniacs and do NOT mean well - money grubbing data ditching liars threatening to give those who disagree a good brown-shirt beating].
And that was a FREE psychoanalysis. See how generous I am.
If you understood statistics, you'd know that betting on a point of view you disagree with makes sense if the odds are right. You have shown you don't understand statistics by being unable to bet for something you think is a loser. That's how we know you are merely a believer, a follower, a ritual incantation mantra chanter.
