The Formula One grand prix is cancelled, not so much out of respect for those who have died as a result of flooding in Emilia-Romagna, so much as for the fact that it is hard to race cars through floodwater. Formula One is a flag-bearer for the conversion of fossil fuels into carbon dioxide as fast as possible ~ at six miles per gallon ~ and I feel the race should go ahead if only to celebrate its contribution to climate change?
