   Agree with your logic regarding avoiding additional emissions. The extra piece that this RFS add is, we've got about a trillion tons of extra carbon already up in the atmosphere, how do we mine it?

   Woohoo, congrats Gustaf! Index of startups and technologies for mining carbon from the air: http://airminers.org We built Air Miners to catalog what exists so hackers can find the gaps in carbon removal and build new solutions :

    We chose "carbondoomsday" to be provocative, and to push into a silly level of seriousness about climate change. Similar to http://blog.ycombinator.com/why-toys/

    Yes!! What do you think of that answer? Does it spark any new questions?

    Iron fertilization a great example to spark thinking about low cost / high benefit solutions. That's why we created AirMiners ( http://airminers.org ) to track all the people mining carbon from the air. There's a lo

    ACTION: Here’s 70+ startups that see carbon dioxide as a profit opportunity: http://airminers.org Climate change will create the first trillionaire.

    That action list sounds great, want to continue building that out on the site. Checking out FFTF now: https://www.fightforthefuture.org

    I had the same thought this morning — but I think it’s just a little flat period in the data, and will continue to climb through the spring. No power in the ‘verse can stop it!

    Yeah that sounds like a cool tool. More like Clathrate Fun ! Maybe turn it into a game haha. Anything else you’re curious about regarding climate change?

    Woa, that would be cool! Any suggestions for theoretical points you’d like to see? GitHub repo: https://github.com/giving-a-fuck-about-climate-change

    “No One Gives a Fuck About Climate Change” was inspired by the awesome Coinbase charts: http://titojankowski.com/no-one-gives-a-fck-about-climate-ch... Coinbase is great!!

    or maybe a tool to model the data? We want to make it more interactive. Pac Man for carbon would be a cool game using the data :D

    this guy gets it! What about putting a line up at 500 or 600 ppm for a “critical level”?

    Great suggestion, thanks! We will expand upon that in our Data Sources section, and also improve the labeling on the graph.

    Any suggestions for actions we can guide visitors towards? We’re a bunch of hackers and coders, and that’s who this site is for. Maybe there’s other open source projects that need development help?

    Good perspective! I hear you on people screaming and freaking out about climate, we have too many of those already. That’s part of the inspiration for Carbon Doomsday. The skulls escalate it more to a Monty-python type of violence and humor

    1) good point! Suggestions for a better tagline? 3) We’ll get that added! 4) The yearly up-down is the most common question I get! Cool guesses on why even though they’re wrong — like maybe air conditioning usage? I’m split - is there a way

    The jaggy chart sparks my curiousity. Why is it a jaggy mess on the month scale? The world already has enough super-processed, tell-me-what-to-think climate data.

    Trees and plants die off in the fall/winter, and grow back in the spring/summer. Longer answer here from Scripps/UCSD: https://scripps.ucsd.edu/programs/keelingcurve/2013/06/04/wh...
