Many tasks in engineering that were suitable for entry-level people have been automated. As a result, often we see less experienced younger people getting hired because they "know the software" and they end up performing tasks that are beyond their skill and knowledge level. There is an experience gap and much less mentoring as well.
The subsidy farmers have issued a new press release and of course the media picks it up and runs with it without asking any real questions because SavingThePlanet.
What would also be interesting is similarity of user interface and functions between software, especially for 3D CAD software. The goal being easier transference of skills between platforms. This type of software tends to be complicated with a steep learning curve, making it difficult for people skilled in software A to be considered for work being done with software B.
Employer: "You're perfect for the job, your skills, experience and knowledge are *just* what we're looking for! One final question: What type of pencil do you use?"
You: "Staedler."
Employer: "Whoops, sorry, we only hire people who use Koh-I-Noors. Goodbye."

Who's going to be around in 30 years to check if this guy was correct? We'll all be dead from ClimateChange(TM) by then!
Tip: Always make extraordinary predictions far enough into the future that no one will be around to verify (or they won't remember). Also, make as many predictions as possible and downplay the ones that turn out to be 'inconvenient'.

I know! That's why all elected officials should be wearing body cams with audio 24/7 with the feed live-uploaded where anyone can tune in at any time! Can I have my billion dollar consulting check now?
The part of Eisenhower's speech that is rarely quoted, for some reason: "Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite."
This will end up like a lot of engineering design work outsourced to India, China, etc. Someoneses back in the home country will have to sort out all the bugs and crap (risky, tedious, thankless, unfulfilling work) while management pats themselves on the back and gets bonuses for having "saved money". And of course, competition for the thankless jobs will be fierce since so many will be under/unemployed. The past-promised cornucopia of jobs due to boomers retiring has been supplanted by automation and offshoring. Bye-bye middle class and welcome to the Poverty-Rich Leisure Class!
EVERYTHING is consistent with CAGW, so we all must believe in it for many more decades. And since the science is settled, we can cut funding by 90% and retrain climate scientists to work in engineering and manufacturing for solar panels, wind turbines, etc.
Notice how "#BecauseScience,Philistine!" is used in this context? So much SJWism is sophistry, handwavery and media manipulation, but it looks and sounds like science to someone unaware or to those who think science is some kind of magic shield against any kind of dissent or questioning of proof via repetition.
"nearly 60 percent of all social media posts are shared without being clicked on"
Yeah, because it's now all about, "How does sharing this post make me look to my 'Friends'", Slacktivism, virtue-signalling and affirmation-seeking. Worldwide Digital Tribalism.
What does objective 'truth' even mean in a postmodern era, where 'your truth' is not 'my truth' and reality is just a competing set of narratives supported by carefully-selected information?

Intentionally putting in wrong stuff now, in order to get people to check and/or reply to point out the error?

Some might say that's an unpresidented result.

Needs a drop shadow, too.
Your commitment to the cause is noted.
Good to see you're keeping the faith.

"If the code was hard to write it should be hard to understand!"
"measured in the laboratory"
What climate-related factors are *not* measured? Clouds? Water vapor? Convection?

The only reason to visit IMDB was the forums and that's gone, so sayonara, IMDB!
Yabbut climate change is going to put it even further underwater, so what's the point?
What is this 'breeding' thing you speak of? How is this done?
It's OK. We're not talking rocket (fuel) science here.
