Great article. Not being a Mets fan, I'd never heard of this story before, but it's terrific (a la Tom). Thanks for all the work you put in to get to the bottom of the story.

No doubt it'll be a fascinating study, but I think I'll wait for the book.

True for me. I'm an Orioles fan because of their success in the old days.

Inflation was starting to heat up as well.

I haven't seen numbers, so grain of salt, etc. It's probably better than trying to store CO2 or disrupting marine ecosystems. Probably worse than biochar in disrupting soil ecosystems. But you know the overall picture of plant-based CDR, which is not great.

Then, alas, I missed the point. 🤦
I have seen this framing used in seriousness elsewhere, so it may just be triggering for me...

This is part of what's covered in Britta Clark's article, "How to Argue about Solar Geoengineering." She points out how arguments for and against both assume different governance conditions pre- and post-deployment. Accessible version: philpapers.org/archive/CLAH...

I'm really not a fan of this framing. Climate change is not the primary purpose of all the CO2 we continue to emit. Sure, we could deal with most of those emissions without causing (too much) harm, but that's very different than purposefully emitting with the intention of changing the climate.

I do miss it...

1975?

Of course, you need to account for the fact that the person in the center of the photo tends to make any scene much uglier than it would otherwise be.
