  • This is a really important insight. To add to it: back when the carbon from Pool 2 was in the atmosphere, dinosaurs were roaming the earth and it was a lot hotter than it is now.

    This is obviously a simplification, it but it drives home the point that once the carbon is out of Pool 2 it will cause global warming. The only way to stop that is to stop moving carbon from Pool 2 into Pool 1, ie stop fossil fuel mining.

    Of course we could try to move carbon from Pool 2 to Pool 1, but it took the Earth millions of years to do that, and many of the plant species that did it are now extinct. Perhaps once we’re exinct, they might evolve again.

    I see so many educated people not realising this. The maths involved is something we learnt in ~ 5th grade, and I distinctly remember doing exercises on marginal rates in primary school in maths class. It’s even simpler than compound interest - which is a staple of maths class later on.

    Yet so many people say there’s a problem with the education system that it doesn’t teach practical skills like these. It clearly does, kids just don’t remember it. Maybe it’s because they don’t need to use this knowledge until almost a decade later.

    They’re interchangeable for branches. Checkout works with arbitrary refs like commit hashes and tags as well. For these, switch needs the --detach flag. You can also use it to create a new branch from the current commit with ’git switch -c $branch_name’.
