One of the most interesting parts of watching the climate crisis unfold in real time is how the perspective of the media is changing. This article from the BBC comes across as an ELI5 for those who don't know what climate change is.
For someone like me, who has been trying to stay informed about climate-related issues since the late 90s, none of the information presented here surprises me. What does surprise me, though, is that a news organization of this size and scope now feels comfortable publishing articles like this for their less-informed viewers.

I don't know if I'm going crazy, but I am almost certain that even 10 years ago you would never have seen a BBC article that begins with the following words:

"World temperatures are rising because of human activity, and climate change now threatens every aspect of human life.

Left unchecked, humans and nature will experience catastrophic warming, with worsening droughts, rising sea levels and mass extinction of species."

It could still be too little, too late, but I am encouraged by the frankness that even large news publications are now using when it comes to these topics.

What do you think?
