I think you are spot on Trav's. The horse has bolted.
My gripe is with those who are making the most noise about climate change, and some of them a very nice living out of it too, and their hypocrisy in telling others what to do and then swanning all over the world on jollies dressed up as conferences.
Later this year around 40,000 folk are supposed to be attending the UN Climate Change summit, COP26 in Glasgow. I doubt very many will be cycling, canoeing or walking there.
One thing this crisis has shown us is that there is a huge amount of "business" travel that is unnecessary and could be cut back. The standard of living of many prostitutes worldwide would suffer but, Hey Ho!
Not heard from Greta Thunberg lately. I thought that she might be screaming the house down about all the plastic that is being used in the manufacture of PPE.
