It takes a village

    If I were being charitable, I could easily understand what this PhD was getting at.

    How do we know what is in balance right now, what is within the acceptable +/- of that Goldilocks Average and at what quantifiable point will the balance start moving outside of the Goldilocks zone. It makes sense from a spreadsheet standpoint. But it also ignores the reality that trying to quantify this just gives us an excuse to break the system again with the excuse of "well, my spreadsheet said we could burn up to 43% of the Amazon Rain forest and not push the global temp increase past 2 degrees, it will just be 1.9 degrees. I don't know why the world is still on fire?"
