I don't buy that these people would ever give the peasants a jubilee.
It is strange territory for them, fraught with unforeseeable consequences -- can't really run the stats on something that hasn't happened in centuries.
And the old Malthusian terrors are, evidently, still very much on their minds -- now over climate rather than food.
