According to a 2015 study, sea levels could rise over 20 feet by the year 2200.

To appreciate the real-world impact this may have, Climate Central teamed with talented designer Nickolay Lamm to show how present-day cities would look with the impending changes in sea levels.

This disturbing slideshow illustrates just how imperative it is to begin reducing CO2 output into our atmosphere ASAP.

Woman comes up with creative hack to combat dangerous (and obnoxious) LED car headlights

If you have driven on a highway at night recently, you know the feeling: You are cruising along when suddenly, your rearview mirror lights up with the intensity of a thousand suns. You aren't being abducted by aliens; you are just being tailgated by a modern sedan.

Since Toyota first introduced LED headlights to the U.S. market with the 2008 Lexus LS 600h, drivers have been locked in a cold war over visibility. While LEDs are great for the person driving the car, they are often a nightmare for everyone else on the road.

Could ChatGPT convince you to buy something? Threat of manipulation looms as AI companies gear up to sell ads

Eighteen months ago, it was plausible that artificial intelligence might take a different path than social media. Back then, AI’s development hadn’t consolidated under a small number of big tech firms. Nor had it capitalized on consumer attention, surveilling users and delivering ads.

Unfortunately, the AI industry is now taking a page from the social media playbook and has set its sights on monetizing consumer attention. When OpenAI launched its ChatGPT Search feature in late 2024 and its browser, ChatGPT Atlas, in October 2025, it kicked off a race to capture online behavioral data to power advertising. It’s part of a yearslong turnabout by OpenAI, whose CEO Sam Altman once called the combination of ads and AI “unsettling” and now promises that ads can be deployed in AI apps while preserving trust. The rampant speculation among OpenAI users who believe they see paid placements in ChatGPT responses suggests they are not convinced.

Is A.I. the best method for a task?

A.I. strategist reveals the 5 questions to ask yourself before relying on an A.I. tool

The current use of artificial intelligence has become a controversial topic in recent years. For every article claiming that A.I. is the future, there is another pointing out its flaws, troubles, and potential dangers. It’s hard to separate the hype from the noise and know whether A.I. is useful for you. Fortunately, an A.I. strategist who acknowledges both the benefits and limitations of A.I. can help.

A.I. expert Dr. Denise Turley has consulted with several large businesses regarding A.I. usage and where A.I. can be beneficial versus unnecessary or even harmful. Before using artificial intelligence, she asks herself five questions and encourages her clients to ask these questions before using any A.I. tool for a task.

Some dogs can learn new words without you directly teaching them.

A new study claims dogs can learn new words by eavesdropping on their owners' conversations

While dogs can't speak English or any human language, people have developed ways to communicate with their furry friends over tens of thousands of years through evolution and training. If you're a dog owner, you likely know you have to be careful saying the word "treat" out loud, since you've used it while giving one to your dog, creating an association between the object and the sounds you're making.

However, a Hungarian and Austrian study found that some dogs were able to learn new words for objects they'd never actually seen before. In fact, these "gifted" dogs learn new words much like human toddlers.

Half of Americans say they've cut their screen time. And it's Gen Z leading the way, not Boomers.

A survey released in 2026 found that 50% of Americans say they’ve cut their screen time. Less time in front of phones, pads, laptops, televisions, everything. However, the generation leading the charge isn’t Boomers or Gen X, who have lived significantly longer without the Internet or social media, but the generation born into an already-online world.

Out of all the generations surveyed, Talker Research found that 63% of Gen Z made it a point to unplug and cut their screen time, followed by Millennials (57%), Gen X (42%), and then Baby Boomers (29%). Their reasons varied, but the folks surveyed said that having digital disconnection helped them feel more productive (42%), aware of what’s going on in their daily lives (33%), and present for their loved ones (33%).

17 normal habits we do today that will seem bizarre in 50 years

Hindsight is 20/20, but foresight is a little more complicated. Just as we look back at the Victorian era, with its arsenic makeup and child labor, and shudder, future generations will undoubtedly look back at 2025 and wonder, "What were they thinking?"

A recent thread on r/AskReddit posed a fascinating thought experiment: “What’s something normal to us in 2025 that by 2075 will be seen as barbaric?”

Five subtle body language shifts that can make you instantly more likable

Communication begins long before you open your mouth. The way you stand, the position of your arms, and the micro-expressions on your face are all telling a story that strangers read immediately.

In fact, research suggests that the human brain forms judgments about a stranger's trustworthiness in as little as a tenth of a second.

Are you a good tipper? What generation you're in might have something to do with it.

Tipping feels awkward largely because of the many unwritten and changing social rules we have to navigate. It is a bit embarrassing to admit, but I did not realize until about a decade ago that most people tip for haircuts. Even as an adult with a mortgage, I had no clue. I was raised in a small town with two barber shops where nobody tipped for that service. I would have gladly paid extra if I had known better, but nobody told me. As usual, my wife eventually had to set me straight. All of this confusion happens before you even figure out the correct amount to leave.

This brings up a question about whether there is a generational element at play here. When you get used to paying a certain price for gas or a burger, it is painful to watch those numbers go up. While there are many factors to consider, researchers may have found some answers.
