Climate thoughts.

July 2023 is set to be the hottest month on record. A scientific study has found that the European heatwaves would have been ‘virtually impossible’ without human-induced climate change.

And yet we continue to travel by plane for our holidays.

A return flight from London to New York (per person) equates to approximately two thirds of the emissions from an average family car per year. One trip emits more CO2 than an average person emits annualy in 56 countries across the world.

It saddens me to read the number of flights from the UK in 2022 was still at 80% as those departing in 2019, before the pandemic.

We are quite frankly destroying the planet, and ourselves along with it. Surely it’s time to put a pause on unnecessary air travel until carbon neutral planes are developed. For the sake of humanity. Right now.
