Though she initially tried, Sacha Burchgart couldn't escape the call of a career in financial advice; it just took staring down her own mortality to see what's possible when you do things differently. Jamie Williamson writes.








It's interesting to see such erudite well referenced papers now coming out around financial services and "global warming" now known as "climate change".
It's a pity that all the predictions of the IPCC and other esteemed estimating bodies over the last 20 years have all had their upwardly sloping graphs look silly as the actual hisorically recorded data show little to no warming.
As an ex scientist , despite what President Obama might declare, the "science" isn't settled.
Science is never settled as we learn more every day. However I note that climate sceptics always wheel out the old chestnut saying that the world isn't warming over the past 20 years as they all use 1998 as their starting point. 1998 was the year of the largest El Nino the world has ever seen (up until this year), so naturally that was a very hot year.
If you want to be taken seriously, don't cherry pick data to try and support some pretty long discredited opinions.
