With restricted air travel, Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Angela Merkel, the Pope and Greta Thunberg must share the one plane, flying from London to Zurich for an emergency global coronavirus meeting. Suddenly, all the engines cut out, and it is obvious they will soon crash. But there are only four parachutes!“I’m the smartest man in the USA,” Trump says, “and am needed to make America great again.” He takes one and jumps.“I’m needed to sort out Britain,” says Boris Johnson. He takes one and jumps.“I need one as the world needs the Catholic church,” the Pope says. He takes one and jumps.Angela Merkel turns to Greta Thunberg: “You can have the last parachute. I’ve lived my life. Yours is just starting, and we need you to lead the world on climate change action.”“Don’t worry Chancellor,” replies Greta, “there are two parachutes left. The smartest man in the USA just jumped out with my school satchel.”
