global warming. Yhorn(sp?) has talked about global warming at live performances and in interviews, and is very concerned. somewhere hidden in the kid a booklet, or perhaps only on certain kid a booklets, there was supposed to be a list of places where polar ice was melting.

this helps to explain: We're not scaremongering This is really happening Happening We're not scaremongering This is really happening Happening Mobiles skwrking Mobiles chirping Take the money run Take the money run Take the money

we're not scaremongering, this is really happening. that seems pretty straightforward to me, towards all the gw deniers. statements about the mobiles, i don't think i even need to say anything about that. and take the money and run, well look how much money is being made by these oil companies. All of this is stuff Yhorn hsa talked about before.

I am pretty sure that this song is about global warming, with an underlying message about privelage at the expense of others.

i can totally relate with the writing style of Radiohead. Nothing is definate and then the meaning can change for u personally because u can bring your mood to the song. This makes there music more exciting and geared for repeated listening. I am sure the group gets a kick out of listening to people trying to figure them out..having said that...if this song is about global warming then it seems like there is a conflict about what side of the debate. Is it an Ice age or global warming?....i dont think Radiohead is gonna trust info from...
