   If I had time to ride hundreds of km each summer (not even thousands) I’d be in much better shape, so definitely not stupid. Maybe in a few years …

   “Huge kudos for Jasmin Paris, the British ultrarunner who has just won the 268-mile Spine Race along the full Pennine Way, in a record time while expressing milk for her 14-month-old daughter, Rowan, along the way. She crossed the line in 83 hours, 12 minutes and 23 seconds – more than 12 hours faster than the previous record holder, Eoin Keith (95:17). Paris is the first woman to win the race outright.” " She is a small-animal vet working at the University of Edinburgh" (for the search-impaired)

   Is it “racism” or “regionalism”? And could the same be said of a lot of conflicts – mid-country vs. coasts, north vs. south?

   If you let “the data speak for themselves” then they say “human beings burn stuff and make a lot more smoke and soot and pollution than would naturally occur, especially since they started digging up coal and pumping up oil in the last 200 or so years”. You must be ignoring the data you don’t like, which means you are knowingly being untrue about “let the data speak for themselves”.
