Look at the amount of positive reacts my post recieved, then look inwards a little bit. I think you're missing the intended subtext. I got the unit, by the way. Not after a few unnecessary moments of thought.
You can skip the crazy units and the jargon and the reaching into branches of science you understand less. Judging by the way @the_convergence_zone talks I really think he knows more about that branch of climate science than you do. And he has a degree, no? I really appreciated how he actually described what was going on in his own terms, instead of throwing a bunch of crap around.
It's pretty clear you know a lot. More than me, probably by far. I don't get why you have this Stampede Pass-sized chip on your shoulder.
