Jim Hopkins: Why are they considering the dodgiest spot in town?

Whatever you do, don't mention the Gore.
Well, not to Trevor. Err ... Mr Mallard. Sir. The bossy one.
Because they can't both be right.
One of them must be, of course. And it could be Trevor. But it could be Al - who, coincidentally, seems to have found the Key to John's heart.
And if Mr Gore is right and the world's oceans do rise 20 feet, then Mr Mallard should start shopping for a wetsuit because the Rugby World Cup final in his beloved stadium is going to be the greatest underwater hockey match the world has ever seen!
... In a transparent building. Which will look uncannily like a goldfish bowl when the catastrophe comes.
This is a particularly inconvenient truth for Trev - and those of us who may end up literally sinking a billion dollars in his grand scheme - but we mustn't be too pessimistic.
The good news is that one debate may have negated the other.
Let's face it, if Al and Helen and Professor Stern are right and rampant global warming is a crisis dire, then no-one in their right mind would propose a stadium bang in the middle of harm's way at the edge of the sea.
But Trevor is.
And since it would be improper to suggest his mind is not right, we must assume he knows more than we do and all those greenhouse gasbags are full of hot air!
In which case, we needn't worry about global warming. The fact that somebody's even contemplating a massive structure on the dodgiest location in town proves it's an alarmist irrelevance.
This may be the news that finally gives the stadium the seal of public approval.
Because something has to.

What a rep we have. SUpurb.
