When climate scientist @OceansClimateCU asked if I was interested in collaborating on this, I thought it was an exciting opportunity to contribute some cog neuro expertise to this critically important problem. (2/5)

It’s been a very fun (though also sobering), radically interdisciplinary project with Kris and mechanical engineer

We learned about the interactions between CO2 and cognition in order to build a model that projects how rising CO2 in the atmosphere will affect CO2 levels in populated indoor spaces and how that will in turn impact cognitive function in these spaces. (4/5)

The projections are scary, and we think the best way to prevent these outcomes is reduction of fossil fuel emissions. (5/5)

Cool cool cool I was looking for an extra thing to worry about

I know, you didn't think climate change could feel MORE existentially threatening, but there ya go, you're welcome

Can you point me to a reference of a direct experiment associating high CO2 concentration with cognitive decline? Exhaled air has roughly a 100 fold increase in CO2 concentration relative to inhaled air, so it surprises me that doubling in inhaled air could have this impact.

Could there be a vicious cognitive feedback loop where we make bad decisions about climate actions/policies with rising CO2 levels that further impair our decision making?

Haha yes we have half jokingly discussed this!
