The text explains why one cannot conduct a laboratory experiment to measure the impact from increasing CO<sub>2</sub> levels and it offers good arguments against to common skeptic argument of ''CO<sub>2</sub> saturation''.

			* [http://www.tsspivet.com/ "The Selected Works of T. S. Spivet"] by Reif Larsen. Excellent story of a twelve-year-old cartographer's journey to a fellowship at the Smithsonian. Beautiful illustrations. Geographers should especially appreciate the detail of the drawings and mapping of the world.
