Re 2: Military research gets ignored all the time despite (because?) it often outpacing academia by decades. Not sure exactly why this happens, just wanted to note this phenomenon isn't specific to CO2 levels and cognition.
- ezoe 7y agoMaybe, Military has strong incentive to conclude that CO2 level not affecting the soldier's intellectual and physical activities so they don't need to spend extra cost for submarine to keep the CO2 level low.
- ekianjo 7y agoThe Military has very little cost constraints. If they can show that CO2 impacts negatively the performance of troops they will get funding as needed. They are not run like corporations at all.
- banku_brougham 7y agoThe 60s and 70s military may indeed have had.
- ekianjo 7y agoYou have seen the budget of the US military. You could hardly call that constrained.
- prepend 7y agoI think the military has a strong incentive to not have submarine crews with impaired intellectual and physical activities so they can perform as designed.
- eveningcoffee 7y agoIf they had then why perform the study? They clearly wanted to optimize this cost.
- ahakki 7y agoIf the study had shown impairment of cognitive functions during normal U-boat operations, maybe they would’ve upgraded the ships with extra scrubbers.
- TrustAndSafety 7y agobecause they clearly wanted to optimize the performance of the crews.
