The Hope of James Watt

Dialog:

• Port:
  • I think James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, purposefully set us up for global warming.
  • He wanted to force humanity to band together. To do this he created an incredibly threatening problem that can only be dealt with on a truly global scale.
• Starboard:
  • Why would he set it up so that when the first powerful effects of global warming were felt it would be too late to avoid many terrible disasters?
• Port:
  • The man was an optimist.
