Carbon Tunnel Syndrome

“Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" describes the phenomenon whereby there is an overemphasis - or exclusive emphasis - on climate change, particularly carbon reduction, to the exclusion of other important sustainability issues, such as human rights, social sustainability, and equity considerations. This term conveys that the narrow focus on carbon-related aspects of sustainability may result in a "tunnel vision" effect, where other equally critical sustainability dimensions are overlooked or marginalised, potentially leading to unintended consequences or incomplete sustainability efforts.

While the focus on carbon reduction is undoubtedly critical in addressing climate change, the term "Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" communicates that an excessive or exclusive emphasis on this aspect of sustainability may result in unintended consequences. One potential implication of "Carbon Tunnel Syndrome" is that other important sustainability issues, such as social justice, human rights, labour rights, and equity considerations, may be overlooked or marginalised in sustainability efforts.

an emotional, developmental, and neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary expletives, criticisms occurring during residency training.

Exacerbated by junior residents, ED residents, and females- in general.

Instant triggers include critical lab value pages, opposition, going to the OR, sobriety, macro-nutrient imbalance.

ED Resident 1: The only resident listed on hand call is Lindsay Allred. I'd rather just replant the hand myself then call her...
ED Resident 2: Dude, I heard she was diagnosed with Residency-Induced Tourette (RIT) syndrome.
ED Resident 1: It all makes sense! Well if the replant doesn't work, I'll still have the same success rate as Ryan Rebowe.

Critical lab value page: Patient calcium 8.4 mg/dL
Lindsay: *RIT EXPLOSION* $@%*! #$%!@+

Deployment Driven Down Syndrome

A neurological disorder generally presenting itself in males aged 18-40 as a result of deploying to environments that are so hot the brain cooks inside of a helmet that is bombarded by high frequency radio waves and X-ray radiation while simultaneously trying to figure out exactly what the mission is. The people who are handicapped by this syndrome return noticably impaired in both mental and physical capabilities.

My uncle has Deployment Driven Down Syndrome (DDDS). He spent 9 months looking at the same patch of desert for 8 hours a day during OSS while running a backscatter.
