Interesting point. Would be a good time to push for increased emissions controls on airlines, in exchange for the tax breaks etc they’ve been getting. The only way to stop the tidal wave of travellers coming in the next 1-2 years is if airlines go bust before that. Otherwise I don’t see a way of preventing it.

The middle class aspirations and general consumerism of the forum must already have a serious impact on its carbon footprint.

even as a left leaning forum the first thing people want to do is really increase the carbon footprint by flying everywhere!
