Barcelona is already a no go area in July and August. Not because it’s a bit hot, but because of the shear number of tourists. If that spike in tourist numbers is spread out over cooler months due to Barcelona becoming a “no go area” in the summer because of a few red blobs on weather maps and climate hysteria, that can only be a good thing.

The seasonality of tourism in Europe is what makes it unsustainable for many countries, islands and businesses, not only across southern Europe but for airlines across the continent. Look at the number of aircraft parked up all day across the UK right now and compare it to the congestion and chaos of August. Spreading tourism more equally throughout the year would be a huge positive.

Oh wait, I forgot positivity isn’t allowed in the environmental echo chamber.

As for what will happen, Europe will continue on it’s path of economic self-destruction, whilst the rest of the world laughs and carries on as normal.
