How Deweathering Reveals Shabbat's True Air Quality Signal

Logosofia no Dia a Dia · May 17, 2026 · 39m

Daniel dug through seven million air pollution data points from Israel’s Ministry of Environmental Protection and found something counterintuitive: controlling for weather makes the Shabbat effect on air pollution *more* pronounced, not less. This episode explores how deweathering (meteorological normalization) actually works, why it reveals the true emissions signal from human activity, and how natural phenomena like Saharan dust, biogenic VOCs, and stratospheric ozone intrusions set a baseline that complicates global air quality benchmarks.
