Fuck these scientists. They're almost certainly not going to be suffering from the extreme heat and weather and sea level rise and erosion nearly as much as the global poor.
Ummm... since when are scientists wealthy? As far as I'm aware they usually make pretty meager salaries!
Homework shouldn't even exist anymore, it's antiquated and gives kids no work/life balance. (It might actually be a conspiracy to condition them to being worked to death.)
