If a friend was profoundly depressed, suicidally depressed perhaps, would it be wise to accept their self-diagnosis of what causes their depression and what is the right solution.
If so, all mental health care professionals would be out of a job.
So, yesterday this turned up in my feed, which struck me as something of an, um, mispresentation… and somehow, I ended up writing my own version of how this whole thing went down…

The only information he has on the cost of global warming as a percentage of the GDP of New Zealand is information I supplied to him.
