    They discovered that, in the last glacial period, Earth experienced its highest CO2 increase: 14 parts per million in just 55 years. Not, our planet experiences that increase every five years.

    I’ve been reading this and just can’t get my head around the last bit. What are they trying to say? O.o

      An increase that used to take 55 years now takes 5.

      It’s a typo. It’s supposed to be “now” instead of “not”

    I have been noticing silly typos all over the place in articles for the last few years, but have no memory of those being common in the past. I guess editors proofreading articles isn’t really a thing anymore?

      The editors are all gone now. Look at newspapers. No one is going to pay someone to check the work of the other guy you’re paying for that work, that’s like paying twice for the same job.

      It’s probably mostly AI-driven now. It sees the word ‘Not’ is spelled correctly, so it’s good to go.
