EXCERPT
Carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere are rising faster than anytime in history, fueling record-breaking temperatures and elevated sea levels. Is our extinction imminent?
Publishing is power. Reading diverts the mind, captures the consciousness, and can exert a profound influence on how you behave. Now … relax, let your mind engage with my words, and take a deep breath as you gently inhale. You see? You did exactly as I told you. Such is the subliminal power of the written word. On second thought, it might be the overriding influence of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) acting powerfully on the brain as a parahormone. Although it’s something we do all the time, about once every 5 seconds, breathing is an extraordinary phenomenon.
