Emma Thompson. What a tool. Interestingly, what she did sums up everybody's attitude, which is "it's somebody else's problem".
Pax: "the plane was going anyway". USA government: "Look at China". China: "We're making your stuff, it's your carbon". Aviation industry: "Aviation is only 3.5% of global warming". Car driver: "One person flying to Brazil is the same as me driving for a year. Stop people flying to Brazil then I'll think about giving up my car". The boss of a coal power station: "We're only 0.05% of global warming and we provide 200 jobs".
Everyone has this amazing ability to justify why they shouldn't change their lives, it should be somebody else. But the only way to fix this is massive action, from everyone. Aviation included.
