Looks like WA might be witnessing the 2nd ever "forest collapse" on record right now.
Places shown in the article are all areas I've visited several times in the last 6 months & entire stands of vegetation have died between visits. Scary stuff.

My theory, developed on an after-dinner walk (after hearty dinning on langoustine & crepes) while examining the Channel facing battlements & sea walls of Saint Malo, Brittany, was that the Britts developed bizarre etiquettes as a substitution for flavours? Any credibility to this idea?

One prediction: tipping point for transition of the Amazon rainforest to savannah occurs for deforestation of 25% and a global temperature increase of 2-2.5C above pre-industrial. “Currently 17% of the Amazon has been deforested and the global temperature is 1.1C-1.2C above pre-industrial levels.”

This requires governments to brain flip. They are use to subsidising medicine to fix a problem, but here this is about avoiding the problem. Reducing the price of gluten in foods to assist many individuals with allergies to afford food that does damage them.
