Glen, what are the uncertainties on the emissions? Could they be underreported for political reasons that introduce a flattened trend eg post Paris?

The monitor packaging said 50% brain capacity at 1500 ppm which seems exaggerated. I’m frequently 50% at much lower levels

I find I can do scientific writing up to 5000 ppm. 40,000 is what I read as the limit. Like non-vented gas fireplaces are widely sold. Seems like a bad idea to me but presumably there’s other reasons humanity cognition is cratering

I got my cabin up to 6000 ppm recently. Exercise in paleo time travel

Of course, but comparing numbers with different units is the sort of thing education is supposed to fix

Different units as one is annual. The two numbers can’t be compared as presented

Through a research program for undergrads sponsored by the Dean’s office I am able to accomplish research goals it would be harder to do otherwise through my grants, impossible through department overhead. Does the Dean’s cut matter if it’s well spent?

Can you elaborate on what that 10% of indirects you mention went towards? It's not obvious how the dean controlling the money is a problem.

What do you mean clouds are heavy? As a cloud physicist that strikes me as an odd comment. Relative to what? Their density is on average the same as surrounding air

FWIW I’m a professor of Atmospheric Sciences. This stuff is just a side gig. You should make your own content !

The basis is non-equilibrium thermodynamics, which may sound daunting, but these concepts underlie our lives. I think the animations led by Michael Fardos really help develop an intuitive understanding of economic growth and decline. I hope you enjoy
