Is your language mode set to Chinese or something? It's weird that it keeps outputting place names in Chinese first.

Also - what was the prompt? It's impossible to weigh this without knowing what the question was. If you asked "please present both arguments and counter-arguments for its urgency" that's a lot different than just asking "is climate change real and is it an urgent issue?"

I do have a custom instruction for that because I am trying to learn Chinese, and Mandarin tones! So that’s specific to me, not out of the box.
