Thanks for the heads up! My thoughts: thank god. In time for the candidates too. When Chessbomb and then chess24 got wiped out, I stopped following tournaments as closely cuz the chesscom page is cumbersome to use and laggy af.

To expand on your thought of physical engagement.. With all the dangers and pollutions of car traffic eliminated, outdoor classrooms. More walking, reading, play, reflection. Daily field trips to learn about local industry, some aspect of real world life, or simply to interact with other groups of people such as intergenerational engagement. A distinct and important role of elderly people in this.
Oh cool, so next they'll tackle car-centric transportation design since an estimated 1/3 of ocean microplastic is tire dust? ...Please?
It's such a missed opportunity. Climate change could be used as a blanket excuse for a boon in technology, construction, transport network development, urban redesign, an agricultural revolution and all the investment, tourism, etc that would come with that. Adapting our communities and ways of life toward a sustainable world could be an awesome process and something to celebrate. Any politician that sees this and runs with it will look like a hero for relatively little effort.
