It feels like exoplanet researchers, more than anyone else in astronomy, should understand the impact of carbon dioxide on the atmosphere.

About that new paper on K2-18b, which headlines with "Scientists hail ‘strongest evidence’ so far for life beyond our solar system," evidently prodded by a Cambridge U. press release. arxiv.org/pdf/2504.12267 . It's not actually any kind of evidence for life, and here I'll give my take on the paper.
