I really do not have time to get into a newspaper headline despair hole today, *and yet*. It almost doesn't matter what the detailed content of the report actually says, if this is the messaging people will take away. Autistic people have always been here and we are not going anywhere.

Why must it always be about planting trees, when they managed just fine for 100s of millions of years before people came along? Just let them seed out. Yes, planting does have a role, but so often the underlying subtext is continued human domination of nature. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
