Have you considered the "Moon Unit" per Zappa?
I met you eons ago I think at Rena Steinzor's party. I still love the piece you did on Jim Tozzi ;-)
What an interesting and terrifying article. This should be front-page news. I always wonder how much terms like gigatonne or even tonne really resonate with the average reader, so I love the analogies
Good comment! This was actually front page news last month when the GlaMBIE study came out, e.g.: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy4ly8vde85o
