Yet again we have another country burning to the ground.,And yet still we have people complaining they are not able to get on a polluting plane to go on their so called well earned holiday abroad. Incredible greed and selfishness.

Yes indeed. First world problems. Incidentally I wld love to get on a plane but mine wld be to see family on another continent. It’s been 2.5 years and I was supposed to fly there last March when lockdown hit. My parents are elderly and my mum has been dx with cancer. But South Africa is still on the “red” list. So in my case I believe hopping in a plane is a good reason -...

Do you think people should stop going abroad, teacake?

Well lets put it like this, there won't be anywhere to go in the future for us, or our children/ grand children unless we do something about the situation right now.
TC, which country is burning to the ground?
I was looking at another forum where someone suggests that only a total ban on fossil fuels (starting NOW) and massive investment in CO2 removal (via re-forestation etc.) will halt global warming. This would effectively put us back to a pre-industrial age but with the benefits of modern technology regarding renewables etc. The biggest impact would be on the movement of people and goods.
er Greece?
Better tell China, Teacake, because until countries like that sit up and take notice, we're flogging a dead horse.

Who said you did go on holiday, you've always appeared to know day by day whats been happening here, and the rest of the world. may be you were being sarcastic towards my op knowing full well what country is now burning.
Question Author
Ryzen no why would I do that and add to the polluting aircraft, everyone is being asked to reduce their travel/ plane travel, I've done that. But really there's a little sour grapes going on here me thinks. :0)
TC, I was not being sarcastic.
I can’t wait to go on holiday after it being cancelled as many time !
TC, if you keep posting the same thing you’re going to get the same replies.
LOL..no grapes..sweet sour or otherwise tc..a motorised tent has never been on my wishlist :-)
If any other aber posted a similar thread, a decent discussion may have ensued. It’s the poster not the subject matter .
