Not fast enough for us to need to worry about struggling to breathe. That's one of the expected results of long term climate change, but we have more pressing issues like sea level rise to worry about for the time being.

Those approaches certainly help, but the tools available to individuals are less effective than addressing the problem closer to the source. Making sure local governments have the resources and mandate from the people to maintain good water infrastructure and regulate pollution has more impact.

I'm sorry to hear that. The webpage meets a AAA rating according to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, so it should theoretically be readable for all audiences. On a color display at medium brightness it should be readable.

Most game design professors at my old university didn't have graduate degrees though, since it's a fairly new field where degrees don't mean much anyway. Idk if finding a professor role would work out realistically, but it seems worth the cost of sending emails to try bugging some department heads.

I'm surprised the degree requirements can't be bent for someone who clearly already knows how to do the job well and has results to prove it. I suppose "academia is byzantine" isn't exactly a fresh take though.

Have you been approached with any job opportunities? I know the academic world is looking rough right now, but I bet you'd make a hell of a media studies professor, and you have the portfolio to prove it. Plus that could coexist alongside part time Youtube in theory.

My response to this question was written in late 2024, and while this information is still accurate I would like to add that the job market for scientists of all types, and environmental scientists in particular, is very tough right now. Try to stay strong as we weather this storm together.
