of 1.7 million frames and that archive of images of the changing glacial landscape is preserved in a lot of different places in the country right now.

This really blew my mind when I put this together, especially that carbon dioxide measurement, the Keeling curve.
James BalogGUEST
37:17
We had 379 parts per million when I started the project in 2005 and then we have 429 right now.

Nothing's been able to reverse the rise of that gas because we keep doing the same dumb things as a civilization.

The common brief, for example, they say human accounting show that CO2 emission is fairly flat over the last 10 years or so.
Kwok PhamGUEST

but that is not reflected in the Keeling curve because I would expect that Keeling curve would show a straight line with the constant slope if we were to keep emission flat.
Kwok PhamGUEST
37:51
But apparently it shows an increase in the slope, which means that more emission while we are trying to reduce emission, which is I'm saying what I'm doing, I'm not successful.

So is that indication that nature has responded and make it more than what we expect it to be, because I would also expect that 50% of CO2 capture by nature is not a constant over time.

So, yeah, there was actually an interesting paper in the UK Weather Journal last year.
Tom HarrisGUEST
38:33
I think it was Curran and Curran, two brothers.
Tom HarrisGUEST

And they looked at that Keening curve and.

And she looked at the recovery each year because, as you know, it goes up in little steps with the northern hemisphere growing season.
