Who suffers from the wetbulb vs. who emits CO2 [OC]

Each cell ranked by heat exposure (wet-bulb × people) and by per-capita emissions. it's the difference in percentile.

Red suffers more than it emits, blue the opposite, grey has no CO₂ data. It's an arbitrary metric of course but I hope it conveys some message.

To compute the metric, I'm used the wet-bulb temperature (warmest month, NCEP/NCAR 2015–2026, Stull 2011) multiplied by population density (GHS-POP, JRC) and then consumption-based CO₂ per capita (Our Word in Data).

Some limits: CO₂ is per-country, not local; wet-bulb is not detailed.

Realizations of French /r/ around 1896

Indicative isoglosses reconstructed from the point-of-enquiry data compiled by Eurén in his 1896 Uppsala dissertation. Not a survey map — a visual synthesis of the cases he discusses.Historical and sociolinguistic contextThe apical trill [r], inherited directly from Latin, remained the rural norm in 1896: Passy notes that at the 1887 Teachers' Congress, roughly three-quarters of the 2,400 participants used it (p. 10).The uvular fricative [ʁ] (called \"guttural\" in modern IPA) emerged in the mid-17th century in the Précieuses' salons. Von Kempelen reports that by 1782, \"at least a quarter of Parisians grasseyent\". Yet 25 km outside Paris, the apical was already dominant again (Passy, p. 10). Note: Eurén (p. 11) uses \"grasseyé\" loosely for any uvular r; modern IPA reserves it for the trilled [ʀ] (think Édith Piaf, Brassens).In the Midi (Provence, Languedoc), Dumas (1733) describes a strongly trilled [ʀ]: \"one hammers and doubles this letter; Rhône, Pierre, rue produce sounds foreign to the ear\" (p. 3 note) — attested only in Arles and Marseille; the surrounding countryside remained apical.Dialectal mutations (etymologies recorded by Eurén)[r] → [z], Palsgrave, 16th c., Centre: Paris → Pazis, Marie → Mazie, frère → frèze, père → peze[ð]/[h], Joret, Cotentin & pays de Caux (p. 45): père → pedhe, mère → medhe, nuire → nuihe, environs → envihons[r] ↔ [l], dissimilation (pp. 16–17, 37–38): peregrinus → pèlerin, paraveredum → palefroi, contraricare → contralier, sorcier → sorcellerie[χ] before consonant: Lorraine (Horning, p. 46), patois of Montjean in Mayenne (p. 56).Made with Python (matplotlib + geopandas).

AJA la bouffe angloise a du mérite

Il semble que les anglais au Moyen Âge avaient des livres de cuisine aussi raffinés que les nôtres (Forme of Cury, 1390). La divergence viendrait de ces éléments au XIXᵉ :

  • 1846 : abrogation des Corn Laws → choix explicite d'importer plutôt que de produire.
  • Enclosures + urbanisation brutale → destruction de la paysannerie et des cuisines régionales comme en Bretagne après Guerre.

Et apparement notre "terroir immémorial" français est en fait largement inventé fin 19ième (Michelin 1900, AOC 1935). Beaucoup de plats "traditionnels" sont des cristallisations du XIXᵉ.

De nos jours : en 2005, IGP Italie 149, France 143, UK 29.

NB: Non Standard French should be understood as Not(Standard French). By contrast with the official Standard French.

NB2: Given the tsunami of comment saying that the map is "wrong" (data is like that), it must be stated that the area cut within the map are French departments witch is not fine-grained enough to see linguistic border at the level of villages. See this map to understand for the Basque part : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyr%C3%A9n%C3%A9es-Atlantiques#/media/Fichier:Euskararen_atzerakada_(Pyr%C3%A9n%C3%A9es_Atlantiques).png
