Speleothem isotopes, primarily of oxygen (\({}^{18}O\)) and carbon (\({}^{13}C\)), are used as paleoclimatological proxies to reconstruct past climate conditions above and within caves.

I find it very hard to believe that this can be used in any way other than to get rough estimates. But, this is "climate science", and in climate science there are no error bars.

Keep in mind that my Ali Express packages came by the US Post Office. They have no capability to collect tariffs, so will no longer be doing international shipments.

See:

Also, keep in mind that it isn't just the tariffs. The cost and contents of the package have to be declared. Someone has to do that paperwork. It won't be just the 15% tariff that you have to pay. There are other costs.

Clearly you didn't read it. They explain away why they have been wrong for twenty years, didn't know what was happening and misrepresented it. Then they state that they have "a very solid understanding" of what's happening. Clearly they didn't. Then why were your predictions so wrong? Why should you have any credibility at all?

Wow, an actual thoughtful reply. Thank you very much.

People get bent out of shape when I point out that those solar panels won't make a bit of difference. They won't even do a single charger. Then, when I say that what they do is say that "we installed 200 super chargers", this is true. They did install the chargers, but those chargers are not any where near fully powered. Nor are they likely to be anytime soon.
