    On a related note, it turns out that CO2 emissions also impair cognition. So, by the time the crisis peaks everybody is going to be too cognitively impaired to actually do anything about it.

      We’re too cognitively impaired to do anything about it right now.

            Plot twist: the AI data centers are generating half that CO2. It isn’t doing our thinking for us, it’s just slow-cooking us.

    Effects of indoor plants on CO2 concentration, indoor air temperature and relative humidity in office buildings

    We examined the impact of indoor plants on air quality parameters in office environments, focusing on relative humidity, indoor air temperature, and CO2 concentration. Our findings demonstrated that, while indoor plants significantly increase relative humidity, they had a negligible effect on indoor air temperature and CO2 concentration in the offices we sampled. This suggests that while plants can enhance comfort in dry indoor environments, their role in regulating temperature and CO2 levels is limited.

    I guess I’d need to invest in a CO2 scrubber.

        I have no idea what the cost, efficacy, or availability of this product is. https://hydrocell.fi/en/air-cleaners-carbon-dioxide-filters-and-dac-appliances/uniqfresh-air-cleaners/

        The only maintenance required is changing of the activated-carbon filter every six months, and replacement of the HEPA filter every five years. In normal use, the carbon dioxide filter cassette has a lifetime of at least 15 years.

    So people with asthma and COPD probably also already have high saturation.
