“Daily CO² measurement.
Each of the red dots in the first image is an hourly reading, as measured at Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
The dot highest on the graph was a reading of approximately:
424ppm
That's going to bump up the daily average (yellow dot) somewhat.
As to why the measurement is unavailable today, who knows?”

Paul Thomas\Plebians:
“We’ve bought into the idea that education is about training and “success”, defined monetarily,
rather than learning to think critically and to challenge. We should not forget that the true purpose of education is to make minds, not careers. A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, which fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death.

“Military interest in holographic imaging has grown rapidly in recent years. Military planners in China and the U.S. have touted holographic technology to project images “to incite fear in soldiers on a battlefield.””

True but probably never happen in America:

"Rebellion is an act of faith. It does not ask what is practical. It does not ask finally even if it can succeed".
“If we really saw war, what war does to young minds and bodies, it would be impossible to embrace the myth of war. If we had to stand over the mangled corpses of schoolchildren killed in Afghanistan and listen to the wails of their parents, we would not be able to repeat clichés we use to justify war. This is why war is carefully sanitized. This is why we are given war's perverse and dark thrill but are spared from seeing war's consequences. The mythic visions of war keep it heroic and entertaining…
The wounded, the crippled, and the dead are, in this great charade, swiftly carted offstage. They are war's refuse. We do not see them. We do not hear them. They are doomed, like wandering spirits, to float around the edges of our consciousness, ignored, even reviled. The message they tell is too painful for us to hear. We prefer to celebrate ourselves and our nation by imbibing the myths of glory, honor, patriotism, and heroism, words that in combat become empty and meaningless.”
