When the economy isn\u2019t growing it dominates the news cycle, because those periods of decline have very much been the exception, not the rule. Even the slightest prospect of a recession can generate reams of tomorrow\u2019s fish and chip wrappers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.afr.com\/work-and-careers\/management\/daniel-susskind-and-the-gradual-demise-of-professional-gatekeepers-20160518-goxmpf\">Daniel Susskind<\/a>&nbsp;provides a timely and thought-provoking book on the history of economic growth in&nbsp;<em>Growth: A Reckoning<\/em>. Timely, because a number of the critical factors that Susskind argues underpin growth are currently under threat. This is most apparent in the US in the form of Donald Trump, where science is being supplanted by superstition, reason by assertion, experience by prejudice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This bears on the Future Made in Australia debate. The government can provide the policy framework to support the market in taking advantage of Australia\u2019s comparative advantage. The market will not always provide the right price signals. The market will not embody all the things that society cares about, though it can be shaped that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.afr.com\/policy\/economy\/long-term-growth-is-more-vulnerable-than-it-looks-20240506-p5fp5a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.afr.com\/policy\/economy\/long-term-growth-is-more-vulnerable-than-it-looks-20240506-p5fp5a<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cFuture Made in Australia debate\u201d is a reference to the pushback against an absurd far left attempt to kickstart Aussie manufacturing, without addressing any of the fundamental factors which led to the original decline, such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2023\/09\/03\/aemo-east-coast-aussie-states-are-failing-or-about-to-fail-energy-reliability-standards\/\">Australia\u2019s expensive and increasingly unreliable energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My question \u2013 what if the climate crisis is pseudoscience, like the many great pseudoscience movements which came before it, and the rise of Donald Trump is a desperate attempt to restore an age of evidence based decision making, before the rise of climate superstition plunges us into a new dark age?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Obviously this is pretty much the opposite position to that expressed by Guy Debelle, who wrote the article above, and I assume Daniel Susskind have taken. SO how do we tell who is right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weight of numbers is no defence against the suggestion the climate crisis is superstition \u2013 pseudoscience movements don\u2019t rise to prominence because they lack support. When Einstein was told about the book \u201c100 authors against Einstein\u201d,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/skepticalinquirer.org\/2020\/11\/100-authors-against-einstein-a-look-in-the-rearview-mirror\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Einstein is reported to have replied<\/a>&nbsp;\u201cIf I were wrong, then one would have been enough!\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real tell of a pseudoscience is the inability of the pseudoscience to make worthwhile predictions, and the desperation of advocates to excuse away its failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any examination of climate predictions reveals a dismal track record of failure.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/failed-prediction-timeline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WUWT has accumulated 12 pages of failed or failing climate predictions<\/a>, such as a prediction made before the US senate in 1986 by the Grandaddy of the global warming scare, James Hansen, that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/failed-prediction-timeline\/?single_link=8fa8b4a9-77d5-4e75-8208-9e6dc7546d28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">by now we would have experienced 3-4C of global warming<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the desperation to excuse away failures, we see that every day, as politicians pour billions into failed green energy policies which are designed to address a non problem, or the way climate modellers urge we accept their predictions as a source of truth, despite the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/wattsupwiththat.com\/2021\/07\/30\/climate-scientists-realize-models-yield-implausibly-hot-forecasts-of-future-warming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">decades long failure of climate models to accurately predict future climate trends<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This failure is easy to demonstrate \u2013 the diagram at the top of this page, which shows the divergence between reported confidence levels and climate model predictive failure, was created by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.drroyspencer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">former NASA scientist Dr. Roy Spencer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I doubt professor Daniel Susskind or former merchant banker Guy Debelle will be moved by any of the arguments I just presented. If I am right, they are deep in the grip of pseudoscientific superstition, a superstition which ironically convinces them that they are actually the champions of reason, and are therefore all but impervious to arguments based on logic and reason which contradict their prejudices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, in our world it doesn\u2019t matter what the Daniel Susskind and Guy Debelles of the world believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What matters is what voters believe. One of the great strengths of the US Republic and other nations where people get to vote for their leaders is protection from elitist groupthink. We don\u2019t have to accept the prejudices of people who call themselves experts, we can make up our own minds who we believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
