Global opportunities for some 
Sunday, February 25, 2007, 08:42 AM
Thank heaven for global heating - the unfolding tragedies may just be enough to unite us in doing something about it. Judging by our reaction to wars so far, as ways of reducing both foreign and in-house opposition, that is a slim chance though until at least a couple of billion of us have been snuffed. The joy of this one, like Iraq where we can blame terrorists, is we will finger Gaia for doing all that nasty killing. Our ruling networks of family trusts will as always use the War on Wanters to reclaim ground they failed to acquire or hang on to in previous generations, so long as it is well above sea level.
Pleas for a Jubilee year will go unmade except by the TUC and unheard. Reasons such as poor people breed too fast will be adduced. Perhaps our best hope is that a Mandela we can trust will become a global celeb, show us a viable promised continent, and learn how to pass the parcel to another while a team we can trust keeps the music going.
