My best guess is that French intelligence wants to continue the war between Russia and Ukraine.

@BjornLomborg Bjørn: the situation is improving. Good. - But to turn this data into proper information, we would need to know how big the total burnable area is, and how fast a forest can rejuvenate. Do you have the numbers at hand?
Niall Ferguson (@NFergus), Victor Davis Hanson (@VDHanson), and Andrew Roberts (@ARoberts_Andrew) are senior fellows at the @HooverInst and among the most prestigious and popular historians in the world. On a new @UncKnowledge with @P_M_Robinson, they appeared together in a public forum for the first time. Among the topics they cover in this wide-ranging discussion: the recent controversy regarding Winston Churchill’s role in World War II, the false premise of the 1619 Project, the #ColdWar, #WW2, and the role of historians in public life. In addition, they critique recent trends in historical writing and the recent phenomenon in much historical research of self-loathing in Western historical narratives, arguing that these views often distort factual #history. The scholars also argue for history’s essential role in #democracy and learning from past mistakes. Ultimately, they conclude with reflections on contemporary global challenges, contrasting the open societies of the West with authoritarian regimes and expressing cautious optimism about the resilience of democratic values.
