A note on the slightly supercritical Navier Stokes equations in the plane

We produce a new proof of Tao's result on the slightly supercritical Navier Stokes equations. Our proof has the advantage that it works in the plane while Tao's proof works only in dimensions three and higher. We accomplish this by studying the problem as a system of differential inequalities on the $L^2$ norms of the Littlewood Paley decomposition, along the lines of Pavlovic's proof of the Beale-Kato-Majda theorem.
