I respectfully disagree with the conclusion drawn in the final paragraph. The data supports a more cautious interpretation. But it's a stimulating read nonetheless.
Good journalism. Rare these days. Thank you.
The article would benefit from including voices from the communities most directly affected, rather than primarily quoting experts and officials. The people on the ground often have a different and equally valid perspective.
The international dimension of this story is underappreciated in domestic media. Glad to see a publication treating this as the global issue it actually is.
