This is great. I'm typing this message now using Ghost Pepper. What benefits have you seen from the OCR screen sharing step?

Build economies around carbon removal, and investing in climate interventions like sunlight reflection to buy time.

Iceland has the 5th highest GDP per capita in the world. We’re about to witness what rich countries do when confronted by a changing climate.

A tree eats about twenty kilograms of carbon dioxide per year. But burning a tree releases about 100 times that amount of carbon dioxide. So if just 1% of a forest burns for any reason, that reverses the rest. And if it’s more than that, then the forest is emitting more carbon than it absorbs.

I just got back from the Millennium Seed Bank in the UK and was marveling at the size of a small footprint facility that stores samples of more than 10% of all known living plants.

Reading this thread, I was curious about what the size of California's sample collection looks like. I made an estimate using a little 1ul vial and an estimated 40 million people born in California since 1930. 100 samples in each box means 400,000 boxes. It's something like a 60 foot by 60 foot room with shelving.

If you extended it to a bank of 100 billion (about all humans ever born), that gets you to a pretty low tech solution that stores samples in the footprint of five Costcos.

California has been storing the samples in its biobank since 1983 not 1930.

Hey, from the demo video, I thought it was entering the answers to your pre-entered questions based on the transcript, but it looks like you're just typing in the answers. Is that right?

It literally says close the facility in the budget.

It's a little shed on top of the mountain. Here's a picture: https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/mauna-loa-...

It's an atmospheric monitoring station and a solar telescope. I've been there. it's basically a shipping container full of sensors and computers and two people huddled there keeping it running.

The big telescopes are on Mauna Kea.

Seconded. The facility on Mauna Loa is the Mauna Loa Observatory which is atmospheric sensors and a solar telescope. The famous telescopes are on Mauna Kea (source: I grew up in Hawaii and worked for one of the telescopes, CFHT)
