Ostrich Years

Major world insatbility and poverty that will lead to the 'trivializing' of TV news' coverage as 'water wars', 'climate wars' would lead all humanity into riots and all-encompassing chaos!
Apocophilia is a name befitting journalists who keep talking about the upcoming 'Ostrich Years' (2008-2012), that would usher the End.

blood diamonds

Aslo 'Conflict gemstones': the illegal diamond trade in Africa by rebel fighters who purchase their weapons by selling these 'blood diamonds' to kill their own people.

New, 'conflict-free' diamond bourses are established now to make sure no diamonds are going to be sold for guns, thanks to something called the 'Kimberley Process' (named after the 2000 meeting of major diamond-producing countries in Kimberley, South Africa), that issue KPCS (Kimberley Process Certification Scheme) certificates and offer other 'ethical alternatives' for those who lost their jobs as a result.
Blood diamonds are common in countries like Angola, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Liberia. Other conflict gemstones are emeralds alternatively known as 'blood emeralds' in Colombia.

Garbage Patch

Name given to large marinal areas where rubbish collects in what has become known as the 'Subtropic Gyro': a gigantic whirlpool in the middle of the the North Pacific ocean nicknamed 'Strangelove Ocean'! (refers of course to the old Dr. himself!)

Concerned scientists has called these no-fish areas 'dead zones'* where there is shortage of life-affirming O2. Other concerns relating to the depleted sealife-forms are the coral areas in the Great Barrier Reef that marine biologists call these vulnerable pollution-sensitive 'bleached'-out corals 'sea reserves', 'marine rainforests' or collectively 'endangered oceans'!

*Also called OMZs (oxygen-mnimum zones), 'paper parks'.
Similiar places on Earth that have the same problem with Garbage Patch are the Kleenix Trail in the Tibetan base camp at Nepal where climbers and tourons leave their trash behind them and Crap Alley; the mountainous climber-magnet distanation in Glencoe, Scotland.
