we saw in 2008 just what can happen when we fail to connect those dots – climate change, oil prices, protectionism and global economics collided to push food prices up and hang a cloud of starvation over the heads of millions of people.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Even most Guardian readers are becoming sceptical judging by the comments.
I like this one :-
“I think we need to find a way of stopping people who spout meaningless waffle like that flying around the world to conferences. It would reduce carbon emissions and save huge amounts of public money.
The Guardian is a leading cause of the current problems by repeating the Chicken Little Messages.
Some one said that science is the belief that experts are wrong!
A direct tax on oil could reduce demand which would decrease the price of oil. In 2008 when the price of gas spiked, demand went down (i.e. people changed their driving behavior).
I see – so raising prices makes them decrease. Climb steps to the basement, because going upstairs makes you tired.
such logic may apply to things which are not necessities
