Is there a better writer than @BaptisteOduor working right now? There can't be many. Seriously, he could write about paint drying and I would probably be riveted.

A review of Earth Transformed. The editors chose a harsher way to describe it than I might have, but it's true I do have some serious concerns if the book is described as a "masterpiece". What it does do, I think, is epitomize the liberal understanding of climate change.

Hailed as a masterpiece, Peter Frankopan's sprawling climate book The Earth Transformed is a flawed history that has little to teach us, writes @GeoffPMann. newstatesman.com/ideas/2023/…

Am I to understand that the Ontario government is actually telling First Nations "we don't owe you any reparations for colonialism because we spent all that money colonizing your land"?
