Paraphrase of 'Reality Is Broken' by McGonigal.
In Siobhan Roberts' biography of Conway she summarizes how it took months
(or perhaps years) to work through different sets of rules for the game of
life. The goal was to find ones that produced Interesting behavior.
This was done by his group, and by hand as computers weren't readily

The transistor came out of bell labs. Perhaps a third place, neither public

Prof West comments on carbon offsets - "I can't see exactly how my money
actually does something other than line someone's pockets; and it feels a
whole lot like spitting on a forest fire. There must be a better way to
spend my funds."
Quite a few years ago i calculated my ecological footprint.
Per Prof West's comments --
In some cases you state degrees F and in others the scale is unspecified.
It is good to keep the scale consistent. The IPCC uses degrees C.
For a good overview of the IPCC (including brief summaries of models) see
the wikipedia page. Since the IPCC is a large group
