MQ, we are relative small microscopic creatures on an molten iron ball covered with dust and an envelope of nitrogen oxygen and other gasses that sustain life under relative strong radiation from a star. To predict climate based on some cyclical events of the past related to the dynamics of gravitational pulls and interlocked gyration, which we as human barely understand is a great exaggeration. We even do not fully understand the huge plasma “conveyer’s belts” on our star not to mention movement of huge electromagnetic mass and plasma. the balances of a lifetime based on our clock are meaningless and are very susceptible to any meaningful changes in the constellation of our star and the other “faint” gravitational pulls from other stars and the mere fact that our life clock is far shorter than the evolution clock of the small star and the planets of which on one of them we live on. OK enough BS, my point is that we as humans try to get involved in developments that are way much bigger than we even imagine and as an example, there are millions who hoard some slivers of yellow metal thinking that this will be their savior from unanticipated events. Just imagine that within the so called ring of fire, some caldera the size of Santorini will blow up due to an unexpected very strong electromagnetic flare on our star, which in turn would reverse the magnetic poles - so what then? People in their foolishness build various models on observations which are very short in cosmological times or try to predict “ants” behavior on some nonsense called economics and survival of the fittest at a time that as a civilization we fight the mere evolutionary concept. My bottom line is something that a very wise and smart man wrote 2 millennia ago
