So I watched this podcast three weeks ago, then came back to watch it again today after seeing Nate's interviews of the director of the Potsdam Institute. Both are so packed with information that they really require further study. But I'm grateful that I could learn from these global experts. And thankful to Nate for his incisive interviews.

I'm looking at the 1990 IPCC report, for context. The only time they mention estimates of much larger co2 ppm in the distant past, they cite a 1987 paper in russian from the soviet union. Seriously? The SU that wasn't part of the international research community, and even back then mostly only produced fossil fuels? Is this how this nonsense got started?

Just point out that the last time the atmosphere had higher CO² plants did thrive, but also there was not enough oxygen for large mammals to breathe.

So are we really sure we want to risk going back to those conditions considering humans and most of our livestock are "large mammals",
