Okey doke...
The Stern report is essentially optimistic.
It states that, by taking small actions now, economic catasrophe can be avoided further down the line.
In practical terms, it means the aviation sector will have to be smaller and more expensive, but it will also be leaner and more efficient.
Yes, it does mean that chaps like me will have to find ways to cut our business travel, and yes, various inefficient operations such as MSE with it's poor load factors are unlikely to survive, but overall, a reduced and more efficient aviation sector may well satisfy Milliband's targets, and those of us who rely on aviation will be able to continue to function in some way or other.
So yes James, spotters like yourself will still be able to watch blokes like me waving at you from the cabin!!!
