Global temps, exceeding worst case scenarios (which as a reminder, are really really bad) and still accelerating.
Several scientists have been screaming that it’s accelerating for some time now, all have been ignored and rounded upon.
And STILL, this isn’t considered newsworthy.

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason.
If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half.

AI has created a culture of distrust in the classroom. There are few solutions and it truly sucks. Last year I tested out an AI-detection software with an abstract I had written for a conference paper. It said there was a 70% chance my own writing was AI generated.
