COULD DMITRY (DMITRI?) ORLOV BE A VERY SUBTLE COMEDIAN, A SATIRIST IN DISGUISE? IF WE READ HIS COLUMN ON GLOBAL WARMING ONE COULD QUICKLY FALL INTO THE TRAP OF BEING ANNOYED AT THE FURPHIES HE IS PUSHING WITH A BUSTER KEATON STRAIGHT FACE...

IS HE GIVING SOME FAKE INFORMATION FOR THE DENIALISTS TO FALL INTO MAJOR PITS OF RUBBISH? WHEN FOLLOWING HIS (DMITRY ORLOV) SAILING LIFE OF EXCHANGING VODKA FOR FOOD, ONE WOULD BE PREPARED TO BELIEVE THAT HIS SENSE OF HUMOUR IS VERY DELICATE AND DISCREET...

OR COULD THERE BE A FAKE DMITRI (DMITRY?) ORLOV WRITING STUFF THAT DOES NOT MAKE REAL SCIENTIFIC SENSE AND IS APPROPRIATING THE CLUBORLOV (https://cluborlov.wordpress.com)? 

HERE'S DMITRY DISSERTATION ON GLOBAL WARMING.... EXTRACTED, AND RETRANSLATED IN ENGLISH FROM FRENCH BY JULES LETAMBOUR...

Earth’s climate is changing quite rapidly, and many people have allowed themselves to be convinced that this is due to something called “anthropogenic global warming” and that the culprit is carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels, farming, land clearing and other human activities. This isn’t so much a theory as a hypothesis—an unproven one. It is based on computer models, and the problem with those is that they generally show what people who pay for the research want them to show; if not, they pay somebody else to get the results they want.

And the reason these particular results were desirable was because they could be used to justify giant money-making schemes, such as taxing carbon emitters, trading carbon credits and, of course, building out wind and solar generation capacity that is expensive, intermittent, unreliable, short-lived and compromises the integrity of electric grids. Promulgating this hypothesis as a God-given truth also made it possible to riddle many people with guilt, causing them to voluntarily curtail their energy consumption, in turn allowing the rich to continue to get richer even as energy availability in the formerly rich countries starts to decline. Al Gore, Clinton’s VP and great big climate alarmist, grew obscenely rich by exploiting climate hysteria. He was last seen at the Davos conference spouting more of his climate alarmism; luckily, few people in the world still listen to him.

But now comes an important piece of news that blows up the anthropogenic climate change hypothesis clear out of the water: it is not just our globe that’s warming but also all the other globes in the solar system. What?! Well, yes, the evidence is in, and it is most puzzling. Nobody knows what the cause is, but the effect is definitely measurable and significant.

• Temperatures on Neptune are known to be linked to the 11-year solar cycle, but in 1996 this link was broken and Neptune became much darker. The researchers thought that this effect could be caused by cosmic rays affecting its lower atmosphere.

• Uranus is usually very calm, its observable weather also being linked to the variation in solar activity, but since 2014 it has been unusually stormy and no one knows why. Until 2014, its temperature was gradually decreasing, but since that year, its temperature has been rising rapidly.

• Saturn has a 30-year storm cycle, but in 2010 the storm arrived 10 years too early and was the largest ever. The Cassini probe also recorded the first-ever dust storms on Saturn's satellite Titan, caused by much stronger winds.

• On Jupiter, the red spots are now visible above the atmosphere, due to the increase in temperature. In its Great Red Spot, which is the largest storm in the solar system, from 2009 to 2020, wind speeds increased by 10% and continue to increase. Likewise, the number of volcanic eruptions on Io, Jupiter's satellite, has increased dramatically.

• Mars has experienced a variety of effects: giant dust storms, landslides, magnetic anomalies, seismic activity and melting ice caps. Mars is warming up and no one knows why.

• On Venus, from 2006 to 2012, the speed of the winds increased from 300 km/h to 400 km/h while the number of active volcanoes reached a record.

• Overall, researcher Yuri Barkin reports that in 1998, the Doris system recorded sudden movements of the cores of all the planets in the solar system that followed each other in the space of 0.5 to 1.5 years . These are the cores of all the planets, not just Earth.

• Meanwhile, the Sun has experienced an abnormally long solar minimum since 2012, and is now predicted to last until 2045, ruling it out as the cause of these mysterious temperature increases.

• Finally, on Earth, we have seen an increase in volcanism, an increase in ocean temperature evenly distributed over all ocean depths, the melting of glaciers, the melting of permafrost, the reduction of Arctic ice, the displacement of areas northward weather conditions, shifting magnetic field, increased incidence and intensity of dust storms and tornadoes, increased incidence and intensity of hurricanes, intense flooding in some places and intense droughts in others, unusually mild winters in some places and record cold spells in others. ... in short, the whole range of climatic upheavals.

Nobody knows the cause of this phenomenon, but I will venture a somewhat educated guess. We know that the additional heat source comes from outside the solar system and therefore must be in the form of subatomic particles of some sort. We also know that these particles must have a fantastic penetrating capacity, affecting the cores of planets as well as atmospheres and surfaces. However, there is only one type of subatomic particle capable of directly crossing a star or a planet: the neutrino. The normal neutrino flux is on the order of 10,000,000,000 neutrinos per square centimetre per second, at any time and in any place. Most neutrinos are thought to have been generated during the Big Bang and continue to twirl around, but additional pulses of neutrinos are generated when a large star collapses, giving rise to a supernova. During its collapse, a phase called “neutrino confinement” occurs; once this phase is over, an entire neutrino swarm is emitted in a pulse that has been detected by experiments on Earth, including one I worked on.

Neutrinos only interact with matter through the weak nuclear force that is effective within an atomic nucleus, which is a tiny target, making such interactions very unlikely. There are several species of neutrinos, and we specifically looked for muon neutrinos: “When a muon neutrino interacts with a nucleus, it can produce an energetic muon that travels only a short distance, emitting a cone of Cerenkov radiation [Cherenkov] with sharp edges that can be detected by photomultiplier tubes”. And what photomultiplier tubes detect are photons, which carry electromagnetic energy that is ultimately re-emitted as infrared radiation, or heat.

The hypothesis is therefore that, around 1998, the solar system was bombarded by an exceptionally large flux of neutrinos. This hypothesis will be very difficult to prove because, as far as I know, none of the neutrino detectors were designed to detect baseline shifts, and now that the event has passed, it is probably too late.

Another phenomenon which I know next to nothing about but which I suppose could be responsible for, is that of gravitational waves. Large gravity waves can be generated when two giant black holes merge into one. If that's the culprit, we probably missed the opportunity to gather evidence, because LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravity-Wave Observatory) wasn't launched until 2002, four years too late to have recorded the event.

Anyway, the idea that coal-fired power plants, car exhaust, or cow farts here on the surface of the earth can heat up the core of the earth or the depths of the oceans , or affect the spots on Jupiter or the speed of the winds on Venus - I'm sorry, but that's just plain stupid, and I don't need to know the exact source of that extra heat to say it. The good news is that this warming pulse may have delayed the start of the next ice age, which is a few millennia behind.

WE COULD BE FORGIVEN FOR BEING CONFUSED AND FALLING OFF OUR CHAIR.

IT SEEMS THAT THE LAST PARAGRAPH IS GIVING THE GAME AWAY....

--------------------------

Dmitry Orlov (Russian: Дми́трий Орло́в; born 1962) is an American engineer and writer on subjects related to "potential economic, ecological and political decline and collapse in the United States", something he has called "permanent crisis".[1] Orlov believes collapse will be the result of huge military budgets, government deficits, an unresponsive political system and declining oil production.[2]

Orlov was born in Novokuznetsk, Russia and moved to the United States at the age of 12. He has a BS in Computer Engineering and an MA in Applied Linguistics. He was an eyewitness to the collapse of the Soviet Union over several extended visits to his Russian homeland between the late 1980s and mid-1990s.[3]

In 2005 and 2006 Orlov wrote a number of articles comparing the collapse-preparedness of the U.S. and the Soviet Union published on small Peak Oil related sites.[4] Orlov’s article "Closing the 'Collapse Gap': the USSR was better prepared for collapse than the US" was very popular at EnergyBulletin.Net.[5][6]

In 2006 Orlov published an online manifesto, "The New Age of Sail." In 2007 he and his wife sold their apartment in Boston and bought a sailboat, fitted with solar panels and six months supply of propane, and capable of storing a large quantity of food stuffs. He calls it a “survival capsule.” He uses a bicycle for transportation. Having bartered vodka for necessities during one of his trips to the post-collapse Russia, he says "When faced with a collapsing economy, one should stop thinking of wealth in terms of money." [7]

He continues to write regularly on his “Club Orlov” blog and at EnergyBulletin.Net.[8]

Orlov’s book Reinventing Collapse: The Soviet Example and American Prospects, published in 2008, further details his views.[9]Discussing the book in 2009, in a piece in The New Yorker, Ben McGrath wrote that Orlov describes "superpower collapse soup" common to both the U.S. and the Soviet Union: “a severe shortfall in the production of crude oil, a worsening foreign-trade deficit, an oversized military budget, and crippling foreign debt.” Orlov told interviewer McGrath that in recent months financial professionals had begun to make up more of his audience, joining "back-to-the-land types," "peak oilers," and those sometimes derisively called “doomers”.[7]

In his review of the book, commentator Thom Hartmann writes that Orlov holds that the Soviet Union hit a “soft crash” because of centralized planning in: housing, agriculture, and transportation left an infrastructure private citizens could co-opt so that no one had to pay rent or go homeless and people showed up for work, even when they were not paid. He writes that Orlov believes the U.S. will have a hard crash, more like Germany’s Weimar Republic of the 1920s.[10]

Writing on Creative Loafing, Wayne Davis considers Orlov's views and anecdotal stories to be an easy read for a serious subject. Orlov gives practical advice, like when to start accumulating goods for barter purposes and the need to buy goods that would sustain local communities - "hand tools, simple medications (and morphine), guns and ammo, sharpening stones, bicycles (and lots of tires with patch kits), etc." Orlov writes: “Much of the transformation is psychological and involves letting go of many notions that we have been conditioned to accept unquestioningly. In order to adapt, you will need plenty of free time. Granting yourself this time requires a leap of faith: you have to assume the future has already arrived.” He also advises: “Beyond the matter of personal safety, you will need to understand who has what you need and how to get it from them.”[11]

The EnergyBulletin.Net review states that “Orlov's main goal is to get Americans to understand what it will mean to live without an economy, when cash is virtually useless and most people won't be getting any income anyway because they'll be out of a job.”[12] The review by author Carolyn Baker, notes that Orlov emphasizes that "when faced with a collapsing economy, one should stop thinking of wealth in terms of money." Physical resources and assets, as well as relationships and connections are worth more than cash and those who know how to "do it themselves" and operate on the margins of society will do better than those whose incomes and lifestyles have plummeted.[13]

Author James Howard Kunstler, who has been described as “one of Orlov's greatest fans” but denies he is a “complete ‘collapsitarian’”,[7]described the book as an “exceptionally clear, authoritative, witty, and original view of our prospects.”[14]

Not all commentary has been favorable. In a 2009 article in Mother Jones, Virginia Heffernan quoted someone who labels Orlov's position as “collapsitarianism” which she believes involves “a desire for complete economic meltdown” and writes that Orlov espouses “bourgeois survivalism”.[15]
