I did hear a scary statistic. When USA's aviation fleet was grounded on Sept 11th there was a perceptable 2% drop in CO2 emissions.
My son was in LON when 'it' happened.
Shortly afterwards he e-reported clear skies for the first time since he had arrived there, and that the temperatures plunged in the 4-5 days that Atlantic traffic was halted. No readings to support the assessments.
Three of my years, while flying in the Middle East downstream of Europe, when I did not <i>once</i> observe the sun rising from, or sinking behind, the horizon, has convinced me to remain in Oz, to enjoy the clear skies while they still exist here, and to try to work out how this solitary mote can effect the atmosphere of the world - for the better.
I'm sure I can. I'm sure I can. I hope to !!!!! WE can.
