When will climate change start affecting how much we can travel and where will be inaccessible soon?

[ohwhatafunday]

I have not done half the travelling I wanted to do, mostly due to illness during my twenties. But always hoped I could do more travelling over the years as and when I could manage, that there wouldn't be a hard stop.

With climate change I think some places will be unavailable to visit as a tourist relatively soon, like Fiji.

Where would you prioritise seeing in the next 10 or so years?

And when will air travel become prohibitively expensive or otherwise inaccessible to the average joe?

Obviously, this is very much a first world problem (actually not even a problem, just a consideration in terms of thinking and planning) and it clearly doesn't actually matter if I don't get to see other places in the world.

Definitely will be visiting the Maldives, Seychelles, Mexico and the Caribbean in the next year or so.

We'll stop when the very rich, celebs and royalty stop going on holiday.

Just thinking about the 'You had your child for your own selfish reasons so your opinion on climate change is of no interest and I'll fly if I want to' line of thinking.

I know time's moved on and the point of people isn't having children, but the desire/need to reproduce is ingrained in all of us and has forever really been the point of all living things and has only in recent times become optional for human beings.

Valuing opinions less because the opinion holder has, in accordance with a basic instinct, replaced themselves makes me wonder.

I don't have a child and don't fly.

@BunnyBettChetwynd Good for you. I hope your decision to not have a child was voluntary btw.

It is absolutely everybody's right to have a family, whatever that looks like, and to reproduce if they want to.

But there is no getting away from the fact that having a biological child, in a high income country where a lot of resources are consumed by each person, multiplies an individual's impact on the environment substantially.

So I will continue to travel, within my own limits, as long as it is legal and available.

Thanks @ohwhatafunday yes, I am child free by choice. Not a choice made on environmental grounds I must add, although I do care for the environment hugely.

None of us would be here if our parents didn't have children. None of us need to travel for experiences purely because we can. I can't see where you're coming from but this is a complex problem which needs systemic change.
