Every meeting room in our office building has a little meter in it which rotates through displaying three different measurements: temperature, relative humidity and CO2 ppm. Most of my colleagues are surprised when I point this out to them.
The floors of our office that I sit in has two sizes of meeting rooms: one for eight/nine people and one for three people. Free meeting rooms are scarce during regular hours, so sometimes we cram in to three-person room.
It's fun watching the CO2 measurement climb from 800 to 1400. Supposedly 400 ppm is outdoors, 800 ppm is indoors and anything higher is a little unusual. I have fun pointing out the reason why we are all feeling sleepy and docile towards the end of a meeting is because of the CO2!
The trajectory the Keeling Curve (+3ppm/year) is on, the dumbing down of (human) cognitive abilities seems to be challenging climate change sooner than I thought on what is the more immediate problem to civilization.
