Bummer: " Our grandchildren will either be starving, rioting for food, or among the millions of climate-migrants forced to flee their homes after they're flooded"

Best theatre of 2012, No 10: Ten Billion, Royal Court | Stage | guardian.co.uk
It's a rare show that makes you want to get immediately, urgently drunk, but Ten Billion had that effect on me...It's no exaggeration to say that seeing it has changed my life.
...
Our grandchildren will either be starving, rioting for food, or among the millions of climate-migrants forced to flee their homes after they're flooded. ...We should be stopping our addiction to fossil fuels, starting a mass-desalination programme, building green energy power points on every strip of land, harnessing every scrap of wind, and every turn of the tide, to help us out of this hole. But we're not. The only response can be a feeling of mortal dread. Cheers!
