					<description><![CDATA[I was aware of the genteel French tradition of taking off the month of August. 

Including much medical personnel.  Which is partly why the 2003 heat wave killed so many:

&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;In August 2003, France experienced a record-breaking heatwave that lasted for two weeks, reaching a national record of 111.4 degrees Fahrenheit.&lt;/b&gt; The heat wave caused health crises in several countries and combined with drought to create a crop shortfall in parts of Southern Europe. &lt;b&gt;The death toll has been estimated at more than 70,000, with more than 14,000 deaths in France alone.&lt;/b&gt; The heat wave was particularly severe in France, where the temperature remained around 99 °F (37 °C) for more than a week in August in some areas. &lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;ve now discovered that the French tutors in France on my language learning platform also take off July and half of September. No appointments until Sept 17!

I&#039;m sure I can scare up someone somewhere on the internet to talk to, but it does seem strange.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;Schellenberger and Lomborg are not only persuasive because their reasoning is so sound, and their knowledge of the issues is so thorough, &lt;b&gt;they also spent years of their lives on the Left, fighting the causes the Left cares about&lt;/b&gt; (and they are still fighting those causes).&lt;/i&gt;

Rufus T. Firefly:

Quite so and thanks for mentioning for their leftist backgrounds. We&#039;re not all hopeless! :-)

Lately I&#039;ve been singing the praises of the economist, Julian Simon (d. 1998). Lomborg, a statistician, started as your standard issue Danish environmentalist. Then he made the mistake of trying to refute Julian Simon&#039;s famous bet against Paul Ehrlich (alarmist environmentalist academic):

&lt;i&gt;[Lomborg]says that in 1997, while visiting a Los Angeles bookstore, “I was standing leafing through Wired Magazine and read an interview with American economist Julian Simon . . . [who] maintained that much of our traditional knowledge about the environment is quite simply based on preconceptions and poor statistics. Our doomsday conceptions of the environment are not correct.” &lt;b&gt;The statistics professor figured he could easily debunk Simon. But in the process of analyzing the numbers from the same establishment sources Simon used, including the United Nations—the debunker got debunked.&lt;/b&gt; And The Skeptical Environmentalist is now a worldwide bestseller.
