# 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.

# carbon allowances have been shown to not work
as companies budget for the fines, as they are outweighed by the profit

# I expect we'd figure something out
if and when we actually got too hot.
Something technological, rather than pissy, ineffectual and restrictive.

# 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.......

# aye
and all the while it assuages your middle-class guilt without actually doing anything about the problem at source
