This is a song generally about the apocalypse or end-of-the-world. Be it through man's own hand (nuclear destruction -"bunker") or nature ("ice age coming") Thom is echoing the words of scientists who warn of impending environmental disaster when he says "we are not scaremongering". He is also pointing out mankind's greedy, materialistic concrens when faced with the end of the world: Not to try and prevent it, but to cling on their wealth and useless technology as apocalypse approaches.
Great song live when they turn it into a drum'n bass rave-up.
