From Brett Porter
I would like to believe that you weren’t intentionally ironic when you illustrated George Marshall’s “Are you a believer?” article on climate change with an ostrich with its head in a planet of sand (25 July, p 24).
This aspersion on the bird’s survival skills has been well publicised as being false, yet it is still widely promulgated – even in scientific magazines. Who’d believe it?
