Oxfam International released in October that looked at 50 of the richest people in the world and their carbon footprint. In it, they found that these people release more carbon through private jets, yachts and investments in a year than the average person does in their entire life.

Not that I know of, I've only seen it in book form. But there are some people who quasi-animate it on Youtube while "reviewing" it.

There are a number of graphic novels that continue the story, so you can kinda watch the gaang grow up. The first series, I believe, is called The Search, and it's about finding Zuko's mom. There are also a ton of spinoff novels about the other avatars if you want more lore.

They were advancing achingly slowly before CoVID-19 basically turned the whole world into an mRNA lab. Now, thanks to that, there are vaccine trials underway for seasonal influenza, Epstein–Barr virus, HIV, RSV and several types of cancer. There's even talk of a bona fide cure for the common cold.
