Save Labor. Amp up the global warming scare Henry Ergas on Mark Latham's great idea for saving Labor: Latham proposes a solution: climate change, which he casts as the rock on which social democracy's renewal will be built. But that is implausible to the point of being incomprehensible. It collapses the socialist promise of a world to win into an apocalyptic vision of a world to save, with Labor as its unlikely saviour. An ALP that endorsed that approach would not merely have lost its way but lost its mind.
