| PORT IN A STORM |
Zeile |
For a few years now, Dover has had to accommodate a rising tide of
immigrants, most of
whom are claiming asylum in Britain. Other ports in the south-east have similar problems.
But
Dover, as the main destination for ferries from continental Europe, attracts more than any
other. |
|
Ports are often ethnic melting pots, used to taking in people of all
origins. Dover, however,
lacks the services and money needed to cope wiih such a large influx of immigrants. The
local
authorities have been especially worried by the creation of ghettos. Such concentration
and
also unfamiliarity have aroused suspicion: many immigrants come from villages where it is
customary for men to gather outside to talk, especially in the evening. Women, meanwhile,
are
less frequently seen in public. Locals, however, have the impression that their visitors
are
predominantly male and hang around in gangs. Two local newspapers have not helped,
accusing asylum-seekers of abusing welfare, of being thieves and brothel-keepers. |

The police reports that matters have been made worse by racial
tensions between locals and
immigrants. At a fairground last weekend some local youths were slashed with knives and
photographs of their wounds appeared in the national press. According to the police,
though,
attacks on immigrants often go unreported, perhaps because the victims think contact with
the
law will harm their asylum claims. |
15 |
The slow legal procedure makes matters worse. Once in Dover,
asylum-seekers are stuck
there, waiting six months or a year before even being granted an interview by immigration
authorities. It may then take many more months before their applications are processed and
they are allowed to remain in the country legally. |
20 |
Local politicians have blamed the central government for this
problem. Defending themselves,
officials point to measures in the Immigration and Asylum bill. When this becomes law,
they
say, local authorities will be able to deal with asylum-seekers in a 'fairer, firmer,
faster' way. |

| GLOBALISATION |
|
|
Our time creates vast opportunities for everybody; ideas, goods and
services,
technologies and capital fly across borders faster than ever, enriching our lives in many
ways and contributing to our prosperity. But while progress spreads quickly in the world,
problems can, too. |
|
|
A currency crisis in one country can hit people far beyond its
borders, endangering jobs
and stability in a completely different part of the world. |
5 |
|
Modern technology and more open borders help business to prosper,
but they also help
terrorists, drug traffickers and criminals to carry out their plans and hide their tracks. |
|
|
Greater international travel and commerce expose our people to new
cultures and
opportunities, but they also expose us to the spread of dangerous diseases from which
no nation is immune. |

|
| WILL WE RUN OUT OF FUEL? |
Zeile |
The answer to this question is very short: "No, unfortunately
not." We will have as much
gasoline at our disposal as we can burn in the 21st century, and we aren't likely to run out of
heating oil, coal or natural gas, the other carbon-based fuels that have powered
industrial
civilization for 200 years. |
|
So we won't run out of fuel. But why is that unfortunate? After all,
these fuels provide nearly
80% of the energy humans use to keep warm, to light buildings and to run computers, to
power the cars that get us around, the tractors that plant food, the hospitals that serve
our
sick. If these fuels were to vanish tomorrow, worldwide chaos would follow and humans
would
die in the hundreds of millions. |
5 |
So why not be happy that we have lots of fuel to burn? Let me try to
answer that by taking
China as an example. |
10 |
Coal now supplies 73% of China's energy and there is enough to last
an additional 300 years
at current consumption rates. Plainly, that is good news in one respect. But put
individual
consumption in relation to China's huge population, and you understand why 9 of the
world's
10 most air-polluted cities are found in China and why nearly 1 of every 3 deaths there is
linked to the horrific condition of the air and water. |
15 |
Equally alarming is what China's coal burning is doing to the planet
as a whole. China has
become the world's second largest producer of the greenhouse gases that cause global
warming, and it will be number one by 2020 if it triples coal consumption as planned. |
|
"Will we run out of fuel?" is now the wrong question. The
earth's supply of carbon-based fuels
will last a long time. But if humans burn anywhere near that much carbon, we'll burn up
our
planet. |

| THE WASTE GENERATION |
|
|
One of the most remarkable statistics that I have seen recently is
that 5 per cent of all
the energy used in the United States is consumed by computers that have been left on
all night. |
|
|
I can't confirm this personally, but I can tell you that on numerous
occasions I looked out
of hotel room windows late at night in lots of American cities, and was impressed by the
fact that every light in every neighbouring office building was still on, and that
computer
screens were flickering. |
5 |
|
Why don't Americans turn these things off'? For the same reason, I
suppose, that so
many people here let their car motors run when they go into a shop – because, in
short,
electricity, petrol, and other energy sources are so relatively cheap that it doesn't
occur
to them to behave differently. |
