This is a very short advice, that I very much believe in.

Reward hard work, not achievements. Working 40 hours and getting a semi-bad grade in biology is much more important than studying 4 hours and getting 100% in math.

Now this is me being cynical, but please really try to find a decent school. One reason I'm against having children personally is that the schools here were I grew up are terrible for some people and I didn't even go to a bad school. But it was easily the worst time of my life..

Thank you, I had no clue what to get out of the story.

English is my second language and sometimes it feels like a lot of people go out of their way to make their texts long and convoluted because it's cool. Same in my native language but it's another barrier to get through when it's your second or third language.

Yes and no.

You shouldn't punish someone because they have done something bad, you should rehabilitate them. But you should do something.

Doing nothing might be worse than doing the worst of the previously mentioned options.

"Science has been settled"

The science of what? That we have climate change pretty much "everybody" will agree on.

The science of climate solutions is not even close to being settled. I have a Master in Energy (BSc in Energy) with focus on renewable energy. But try to get a group of professors from different fields to get along to see what is the way forward, or the mix of what. Nuclear energy, geoengineering, hydrogen, fusion, batteries of all kind, destruction of nature to create pumped hydro storage, capturing CO2, wind, concentrated solar, solar PV, biodiesel (and from what), ethanol, gas, Algae, bore holes, solar thermal seasonal storage, biomass, ocean energy and the lists go on.

So when you say that the science is settled I think your looking at the simple part where we see the problem but still has a huge way in what the actual solution.

People who say that we should just do this or that are usually pretty much always out of the loop and rarely know the downside of the technologies. It's not that we have 10 000 thousands of professors in the world that are just stubborn egotist. We don't have obvious good solutions yet. We do for some places, Norway have so much hydro that it's ridiculous, other places have other things and worst part is that many don't have that good options.

Please show some humility to people who have worked on solutions for the last 100 years.
