Foxy that is part of what concerns me.
The edifice of economics is predicated on the absurd endless growth of everything and consumption in a finite world. Not to mention the vulnerability in the fact that our financial system is built confidence in US etc being able to service debt largely created by wars.

The absolute lack of substance.

Anthony Newley said it best in his stage play of the 60's "stop the world I want to get off"
Time for some Japanese Plum wine.

Dear Examinator,

We all have to give a thought to coming up
with policies that deal with the damage already
done to the environment.

However, let's also give
a thought to poor countries. They will be under
pressure to adapt, as the environment changes,
and yet they are the least able to afford it.

As the author Daniel Flitton points out in
The Age article I cited earlier:

"Climate change is expected to intensify problems
in already fragile environments, areas where many
of the world's poor live. The threat is not merely
from an increase in natural disasters - such as
cyclones - but more gradual changes in the viability
of an area to sustain inhabitants. Higher temperatures
are expected to reduce crop yields in once fertile
zones, spread pests and tropical disease...
A study by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
earlier this year made the simple point that for
millenniums people have packed up and moved, either
temporarily or permanently, to cope with climatic
stress. But that option is denied in amodern world
divided by national borders..."

Japanese Plum Wine?

How about something from Rutherglen instead?

As the All Saints Estate's brochure tells us:

" What links Rutherglen to Ancient Greece,
the Roman author Pliny, Napoleon and James
Busby? The answer is Muscat ...

Muscat is a perfect Summer aperitif.
The very best is universally recognised
to be our very own fortified Muscat of
Rutherglen. Opulent, decadent, rich
and headily aromatic. Ancient, yet fresh,
dark, yet full of life, sweet, yet balanced -
it's a paradox in a glass. It's one of the
most complex, profound and fascinating wines
money can buy, and also one of the most
delicious."

Give it a try - you won't regret it.
I haven't!
