The Gray Lady Wants To Kill The Planet!
Why else would she be running an article featuring the 53 Places to Go in 2008? Hell, just within the top ten you'd touch four continents and a fistfull of far-flung islands.
I mean, I'm all confused: I regularly get tsk-tsk'd by the Times just for owning an SUV and living in the suburbs, and here it is actively cajoling me to increase the ol' carbon footprint by several orders of magnitude.
Then again, perhaps I'm not meant to consider myself one of those "global nomads" of which the article speaks. Perhaps that status is meant to be reserved for the limousine liberal, Barbra Streisand/Al Gore, I-just-sank-500K-into-a-carbon-credits-shell-game-company-so-who-cares? set.
The world wonders.

Because the problem is not rich people traveling -- it is the great unwashed masses out there using SUVs. The Times would solve global warming by greatly reducing the human populationm to where just the beautiful people remain. With the world as their own personal pleasure dome, concerns like global warming are a thing of the past.

This is not a joke : Our latest issue of Princeton Alumni Weekly has an ad of Bill Ford Jr. talking about how he's buidling "sustainable" cars....
Today, an repsected auto analyst said that we shall know "in the next two years whether or not Ford Motor still exists"...
Sustainable is a buzz word among the elites...makes them feel better they aborted their young...
