# making petrol a bit more expensive will not stop people driving their cars
adding a few quid to air fares will not stop people flying
all it will do is drive inflation up as people will need to earn more to pay for the more expensive things

nothing will ever happen if it has to be instituted by people who want to win elections

# The biggest problem with air travel is corporate globetrotters
and as their company is picking up the tab, it doesn't matter to them whether the flight is £60 or £600.

There should be a carbon allowance, per head, for large companies, and if they exceed it, they should be fined cunted in the fuck.

as companies budget for the fines, as they are outweighed by the profit

# It's just a shame that the whole carbon offset is
a load of bollocks anyway.

You fly somewhere, pay for a tree to be planted, but it takes the tree 20 years to absorb the carbon from that 1 journey.
You fly a month later.. another tree... combined timescale 40yrs...
.........and so it goes on.......

If anything, I'll vote BNP just to put the shits up the established government...

knowing my luck though... they'll actually get in power :-/

# no investment in trains or buses
for a while
train fares are ridiculous, so no-one is going to choose that over their car
(, Mon 11 Dec 2006, 15:00, archived)
# Yes.
Under this government it has become extraordinarily expense to get anywhere by trains, which are meant to be a greener method of travel, and absurdly cheap to journey by plane, which slurps up the fuels and kill kittins.

# train fares are rediculous
A return to London from where I live (in peak times) is about 70 quid! It's only an hour drive away for fucks sake.

# three high speed rail links
in this country would cut the need for virtually all domestic air travel. London to Cardiff, London to Birmingham then Manchester and Glasgow and Birmingham to Edinburgh via Leeds and Newcastle. Other countries made the investment in the 70s and 80s, we never bothered.

I find trains the least stressful way to travel when they're on time and not overcrowded, and the most stressful when they're late and overfull.
