Ship of fools


Point 1: Beneath the seabed of the Great South Basin, off-shore from Otago and Southland, there is reputedly a vast store of hydrocarbons.

Point 2: The earth is presently showing worrying signs of climate instability primarily brought about, the climate scientists say, by the combustion of hydrocarbons by human beings.

Point 3: All of the hydrocarbons that are expected to be extracted from the Great South Basin will be combusted by human beings, adding to the potentially catastrophic climate instability that is already jeopardising the lives of millions of people around the globe.

Point 4: Anyone joining these dots and warning of the foolishness of drilling the Great South Basin is set to be vilified and harangued by a bevvy of foolish souls who believe that somehow, extracting the hydrocarbons in the Great South Basin is a good idea.
