crawshawbooth Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 I wrote that without clarifying the subject , i have travelled a lot and enjoyed other countries and cultures. When global warming and co2 emissions became news worthy , because the travel experience got worse every year i decided to no longer holiday abroad . i am not convinced that flying damages the world as much as some groups claim , it was almost unnerving sitting out during Covid when there were no planes flying. Did the fact that millions of tons of co2 werent released into the atmosphere have any effect on global temperature ? I dont know ,but i would sooner holiday here , Northumberland and Scotland this year and last , but give me The Lakes , Yorkshire Dales , or Cotswolds anytime over cheap sunshine. just a personal preference , not a criticism of anyone elses preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite remarkable when compared to normal. Overall, I suppose it will have had a slight mitigating effect, but there's still a lot being put out. A lot of work going into eco fuels for planes, and they've been trialled in military jets too. Whether they could be produced sufficiently to replace oil derived fuels I don't know. There is also a risk of monoculture type issues if planting to produce the fuel occurs. Nothing is simple. Anyway, still plenty to appreciate here.

It is a beautiful place to visit but I couldn't live there myself. If you want peace and quiet and nature then it is wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
