The end of...

Every single one of the people up there, and every single one of the people on the plane 45 seconds behind, and on the one just behind that, will have made the decision that their journey is more important than the CO2 they are responsible for emitting, more important than the risk they pose to the future of life on earth, and more important than compromising their children and grandchildren (let alone anyone else's).

Apart maybe from those who are so entitled they don't even feel the need to think about it. 

There are important journeys, but enough to shove a plane up over Oxford every minute on a Saturday afternoon?

COP26 ended this afternoon. According to the BBC, "The pledges on emissions cuts made at the two-week long Cop 26 summit fell well short of those required to limit temperatures* to 1.5C, according to scientific advice." 
*they mean temperature rises.

Sometimes I think the sooner we eliminate ourselves the better.
