History is about people (and classes, creatures, objects, organisations etc).
And so as part of the “make All Our Yesterdays more navigable/relatable/useful” push (late 2023 onwards), I am going to create individual pages for people who pop up repeatedly in past and future posts.
There will be politicians (Prime Ministers – both Australian and British) and Presidents, plus a few others who make the cut)
Scientists (Arrhenius, Guy Callendar, GilbertPlass, Roger Revelle, Bert Bolin, Herman Flohn, Charles David Keeling, Stephen Schneider, James Hansen, Wally Broecker, John Mason, etc
Journalists – Elizabeth Kolbert, Fred Pearce, Roy Battersby, Richard Broad
Activists – well, to be decided
Academics – see activists above.
