Tony Tells It Like It Is

Although Gordon's little Darling recently set new and more demanding targets in the war on carbon emissions, plastic bags and the Conservative government of 2050, the world's glaciers persist in melting faster than at any time since records began. The problem, according to the Observer, "could lead to failing infrastructure, mass migration and even conflict"; though doubtless it will all seem worthwhile once that Heathrow expansion is complete. Still, an indication of the seriousness of the matter is that Tony Blair has decided to commit his moral and political gravitas to helping the world see the error of its ways. Tony believes that, now someone else is there to take the political consequences, we have "reached the critical moment of decision on climate change". The decision, Tony believes, must be one in favour of "a vastly increased use of nuclear power across the world", plutonium being both more renewable than oil and less likely to fall into the wrong hands as long as the terrorists play nicely and keep their details up to date on the appropriate databases. After all the good that Tony has done as peace envoy to the Middle East, not to mention his contribution as Prime Minister towards lessening the United Kingdom's dependence on fossil fuels, I am sure this is jolly reassuring.
