All are in thrall to the amoral leadership of the fossil fuel and finance industries, determined to maximise short-term profit regardless of the consequences. There is no evidence that either the political or business leadership have the capacity or courage to face the big threats we face, the security implications of the crisis in the Gulf being just one of many.

Not mincing words!
