Given the enormity of some of these problems, they tend to get outsized attention in the media. And rarely are any feasible solutions part of that coverage.
To avoid information overload, the more popular or obvious topics are not discussed in detail on this wiki. Is a dissertation on the ethics of genocide going to make any difference in your opinion or life choices? You know they are bad, there is no need to belabor the point.
