When it comes to personal contributions to climate change, most Americans seem to have no clue how damaging some of their individual actions can be. Folks who happily recycle and switch to more energy-efficient appliances, per a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Nexus journal, likely have a far larger carbon footprint than they realize. When it comes to personal behavioral changes to mitigate climate change, not all interventions are created equal. A

It’s inevitable that a new James Bond actor will be announced soon. Denis Villeneuve is directing, Steven Knight is writing, and Amazon is eager to get its big-ticket IP back into theaters. But what if those rumors of a younger star (Jacob Elordi, Harris Dickinson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson… take your pick among the names being tossed around) are just misdirection—and the studio decides to bet on a sure thing, skewing way older than Ian Fleming ever imagined for his signature character?
