We went on a guided tour of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. It was cool. Our tour guide obviously loves what he does and they had lots of hands on displays to show how climate works etc. Heard one of those “can you believe where our tax money goes stories”. They studied whether the methane released by termites (oh yeah, that little wood eating bug) is significant factor in global warming. It isn’t by the way in case it had you worried. They have a chaos pendulum too. It provided the visual for how complex systems (there example of course being climate) do unexpected stuff (chaos) when there are even small disturbances in them. I have to agree, life can be like that!
