Retired chemist, educator, entrepreneur living in a remote rural community. My wife and stepchildren practice permaculture in our yards while I study climate, energy and sustainability options. I'm frustrated by societal behavior that ignores best science.

Exactly! Greenhouse gases trap/ slow the outgoing longwave radiation. Human society knows why, but is collectively trapped by individual actions of survival and growth. How do we track the folly of societal consumption? This tracks the source, and lack of sufficient response.
