Anyone planning to fly off on holidays?
“Every round-trip ticket on flights from New York to London, keep in mind, costs the Arctic three more square meters of ice”

I live near an airport and there is a steady stream of planes landing and taking off. It feels ominous now in light of the recent WWF report talking about life on earth being wiped out.
There are posts on mumsnet on the section about long haul travel where people are talking about flying off with their families to Thailand or Mexico etc not thinking or not caring about the impact! Future generations won’t be jetting off and living lives like this as we will have destroyed the planet and they will be scrambling to survive.
My parents have booked a weekend in Spain! They regularly do this and they will be long gone while future people pay a terrible price.
