Episode Synopsis

Normally math mistakes are a bad thing, and they result in terrible news…planes crash, bridges collapse, and backyard warriors measure and cut one too few fence posts. This is a case of a mathematics error that turns out to be fantastic news, a mistake found by environmental scientists at Cornell University. What they found will lead much more accurate forecasts of the warming of our planet…and it turns out, it’s better news than we could have imagined. Hosted on Acast.
