Our Reputation Safe At Last

A study by the Met Office has an optimistic message for the Glorious Successor; namely that the only real hope of avoiding the worst effects of climate change lies in "cutting global emissions by 3% a year from 2010". Since 2010 will most likely be the point at which the Daveybloke administration starts cutting emissions by building the London Haystack a new airport in the Thames estuary, Gordon will no doubt be heaving a sigh of relief. Further solace will be found in the news that the worst effects may not be felt until the end of the century, and will have most impact on plants, animals, poor people, foreigners and other creatures which, even if they happen to live in marginal constituencies, rarely turn out to be New New Labour core voters. Best of all, if Daveybloke's administration continues the New New Labour policy of green rhetoric for the public and green lights for the polluters, there is every possibility that, soon after the end of the century, there won't be anyone left to remember how shallow, dishonest, vacuous, myopic, pusillanimous, greedy, mendacious and callous it was necessary to be in order to gain the privilege of serving us.
