Glad to have read “Climate Challenged Society” the other week (Dryzek Oxford, 2013). A concise description of climate concepts, social policies, and economic and political considerations around climate management.
Did you know:
To determine atmospheric CO2 concentrations air samples are regularly collected from observatories, tall towers, aircraft, and weather balloons at 86 locations worldwide. (See https://gml.noaa.gov/dv/site/?program=ccgg&active=1)
In addition, NASA’s Orbiting Carbon Observatories, OCO-2 and OCO-3, make around 100,000 measurements around the world each day.
These instruments ALL show the rising CO2 concentration trajectory.
We can’t say we didn’t know!

Excellent book from what I hear. What would you say was the key takeaway for you personally?
