    This is fine.

    I am starting to wonder if those tipping points everyone was talking about 10 years ago are starting to get hit.

    3-body problem series is a fantasy spin on the topic. I’d recommend watching it if you’re into wild speculations.

      The old model is based on historical data.

      We’ve broken out of the trend on historical data.

      New models… are guesses using the same historical data.

      We really don’t know what is about to happen.
