I hope Andy Burn 'em has some advisor who actually reads Environmental Research Letters. The review essay by Emily Grubert, summarizing a frustrating 25 years of research with no apparent effect on climate overheating, is blunt.

Ruth_Mottram - This is a fascinating and beautifully illustrated analysis, exploring convincingly why birth rates are crashing basically everywhere and while there are certain many factors, the smoking gun is actually a smartphone.
So what to do about it? I think I agree with the conclusions, housing and financial support is one element, equality between sexes in household tasks certainly another, but finally, perhaps our job as parents is to inculcate the habit of socialising with others into our kids, especially when they get to the teenage years.

Aviation / flight sim geeks: There's plenty of flight sims focused on fixed wing airline flying, combat, etc.
But are there any for more technical / specialized operations? I'm picturing "DCS for wildland firefighting and SAR" where you get to pilot a rotary or fixed wing water attack aircraft, land on a lake to refill then dump it on the flank of a fire, hover above a rocking ship to lower a rescue swimmer to it (maybe the latter being a team game with NPC or players…

Judging by number of Danes on this #dfds passenger ferry, it is surely time for a reopening of the Esbjerg ferry to UK to facilitate #FlyingLess? - especially as people seek cooler climates for summer holidays, rather than warm ones
