Well I don’t for one second claim to know more than the vast majority of climate scientists in the world (unlike most deniers). But when all of the world’s pre-eminent scientific bodies are saying it is essential we, as a planet, act quickly and decisively to stop what is happening I think it’s time governments started listening and acting on their recommendations.
I don’t know whether Aviation has a big part to play (although new technologies with electric propulsion and fuel reduction are interesting) and I certainly don’t know what the exact solutions to the problems are but it’s now increasingly clear something must be done.
