However, a climate and forests specialist has said a similar deal from 2014 has not slowed deforestation. The countries that signed the pledge – which also include Russia, Canada and China – cover about 85% of global forests, and a proportion of the money is aimed at developing countries.

As the classic New Yorker cartoon says, ‘on the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog’. This image from as far back as 1993 outlines a key feature of (and some would say a major problem with) the internet: there is often no way to tell whether any digital identity is authentic.

“Don’t take it personally,” and “It’s not personal, it’s just business,” are two of the most common phrases heard around the proverbial water cooler. But I think business should be personal.
