Thanks for that info and the links! I'm curious: Did you know about this report prior to researching this particular paper's claim?


Yes. The question of CO2 and the difficulty reconciling Satish with practically all other CO2 studies has been a question of interest to ggreer & me since it was first raised on LW years ago: http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/nk0/what_is_up_with_car...


Was just reading that through and idly wondering, if that was the only experiment getting such a result, and there is nothing obviously wrong with the methodology, was there anything else by accident in the tank or gas lines they used for the CO2?


Not the first explanation I would reach for. (What would have to be in those tanks? Nitrogen would be very noticeable and wouldn't do anything, oxygen would presumably help rather than harm, and so on.)


Yes, I’ve known about this for several years. I’m basically regurgitating gwern’s knowledge.
