About halfway through Dust, the final episode in this series of Lights Out, writer Andri Snær Magnason says this. “In the year 2100, we expect the PH level of the world oceans to have dropped from 8.1 to 7.7, and this is the greatest change in the world oceans for 50 million years.” This sentence, says Magnason, is meaningless. The numbers don’t land in our heads: the 0.4 is too small, the 50 million too big. So he changes tack.
