"The team’s results, published in 2012 in Environmental Health Perspectives,
were statistically significant, but they were cautious, noting that
“confirmation of these findings is needed.” That confirmation came last fall,
when a team led by Harvard public health researchers published another study in
the journal, using the same test. They found that participants performed only
half as well under indoor carbon-dioxide concentrations of 1,400 ppm as they
did in a well-ventilated room."
This could explain some things. Assuming that there is zero effect at 280 ppm,
the world population is 5% less mentally capable now at 400 ppm than it was
pre-industrially. At IPCC BAU in the year 2100 the world will be >32% impaired.
Amplified CO2 effects indeed, and all the more reason we need CDR installed in
every room where climate/CO2 decisions and policy are being made. And every
other room in the world. If climate change and ocean acidification aren't
reasons enough, is mental health the killer app and raison d'etre for CDR, of
course pending ethic(ist)s and governance approval? ;-)
