The only other thing I’ll say is that, having seen the work of hundreds of academics via my old job, you wouldn’t believe how bad some of it is. and yet, lots of genuinely smart people are forced out of academia every year!

As @carbonbrief.org note, those figures are for all of Europe inc Russian Asia (74% of the landmass of "Europe" in this). Russia is having a relatively quiet season for fires. The rest of Europe is very much not –– it's second only to 2022 for severity so far

Ah and then here comes the execrable Matt Ridley with the worst possible take in the Speccie

as my colleague @adriennebuller.bsky.social recently catalogued for the New Statesman www.newstatesman.com/environment/...

Please, I’m begging you — I got off Twitter so I didn’t have to seen Adam Wren’s moronic takes anymore. Don’t bring them here

This is good to know. Thank you

Just seeing that photo makes me miss Cheshire: that wonderful pancake-flat landscape of hedgerows, cows and fields, framed by the Penines and places like Jodrell Bank.

genionely nuts that these people — ostensibly liberal Tories, economically — have swung so hard to the far right that the Economist is seen as a bastion of wokeness now

A great piece, Richard. Good to see a proper picture of Cheshire in the media, for once

If I do end up in Oz, know that it had nothing to do with being scared of brown people

lol this is exactly what is happening. not sure what my name is anymore

You know when you see an Adam Wren tweet you’re about to witness the stupidest take known to man

Should be read alongside Andy Beckett’s incredible long read on the Dacre-isation of RW newspapers www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

The Dacre dynasty: how Britain’s rightwing press was radicalisedThe long read: Paul Dacre broke new ground in selling readers an angry rightwing perspective. Today, most of Fleet Street is run by his discipleswww.theguardian.com

you can directly track the declining standards of Britain’s minor public school by looking at the prose in the RW press.

… and there’s me thinking you had it good with the Windies team
