For the most part, the above two studies could be understood. I didn't delve into all the intricacies and mathematics and scrutinize all the sources present(and many of them are locked behind paywalls anyhow), but the writing is not difficult for me to understand.
As I have said countless times on this forum and as has been pointed out by many of the hundreds of authors in the various Working Groups the Summary for Policymakers is quite misleading. It suggests many things as being confirmed which in the actual WG1 working papers is shown to have a wide range of viewpoints. In the past I've pointed out a number of statements that completely disagree with what is presented in the actual Working Group chapters. Working Group studies are generally based on a massive amount of literature. The actual math/stats are not presented as they are summarizing conclusions from papers, not reviewing the actual analyses. The modeling section is one of the few where independent work is presented but the background for all of the modeling work also resides in the papers they reference. Quoting the Summary for Policymakers indicates a complete lack of either understanding or desire to understand the underlying science and the potential errors. This has been discussed at length by various scientists ever since AG4. I would guess based on the nonsense that Greta spews she isn't even aware of the documents let alone what they state or the uncertainties.
I've never been introduced to tensor transforms so I looked them up and the math is quite interesting. The matrices involved can become extremely large and are generally only possible to solve using computers on any problem of a practical scope.
And yet there we were building bridges using tensor transforms and slide rules to determine net stress and strain on beams and pillars 30 some years ago when there were no PC’s and the mainframes accessible had computing power equivalent to a modern ipad. This is where the rubber hits the road. It is the difference between having an intimate understanding of a particular subject and having had a cursory look at it and saying….well someone else will calculate that…or I can do that with my laptop. The former is an expert, the latter likes to think they are an expert. Without a deep understanding of the subject matter, you are merely taking people's statements on the subject at face value, trusting that they aren't doing the same thing or don't have an ulterior motive.
But as Cog points out it is very clear what Greta's handlers goal is, demonstrated in a quote from her that could just as easily come from Extinction Rebellion or Maurice Strong so many years ago.
After all, the climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice, and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fueled it.
Add to that the statement about putting government reps up against the wall and it's pretty clear this is about redistribution of wealth, pure and simple. No doubt the reason the conspiracy theory folks have been linking this whole theatre of the absurd to George Soros and his cult of followers.
But keep it up with the very unsettling hero worship of a 16-year-old girl.
