It should be noted that 100-year global warming potential is around 23 -- the 20-year GWP is actually about 72. So the effects of permafrost thawing and possible release of any clathrate methane and the real warming impact in the short-term will be more extreme.
If you are dealing with higher dimensional data and metric spaces, I think topology and related disciplines may be of value. Understanding the structure of your data will allow for the design and development of unique tools with which to handle it, an example being new dissimilarity metrics.
As an aside, some of the best programmers I have known were musicians and linguists, with little understanding of the math behind the problem, but an intuitive and often very different instinct for unique solutions.
No, what you need to do now is control the rate of overall climate change to minimize the rate of ecosystems and thermohaline cycle collapse. If the latter goes, Europe will return to their glacial situation of 12,000 years ago.
If you are dealing with an 88-key (or however many key) instrument and a ten-fingered human, one would think that music is a sequences trajectory of ten-dimensional subspaces in an 88-dimensional space. A rather binary one.
It would be interesting to see how to model the interactions of multiple instruments with different dimensionalities.

I started with APL. After the mushrooms wore off, I switched to BASIC and then FORTRAN and then.....
