It's not all bad though, I mean, you can't jet over to Paris for a weekend, but you can certainly devote a few months to travelling around wherever you want to go. If in Europe and around Asia, take a cruise ship out and travel the rest by train, and if North America, by train and bus. It's a good excuse to get out of work for a while!

Padraic,

I have been buying offsets lately, in the belief that at least some can produce offsetting GHG reductions additional to what would happen in a BAU case.

I too have done a lot of flying in the past 5 years and am worried about future travel plans and pollution. Do you buy offsets?

The question is whether one should knowingly impose harm on strangers in order to satisfy a desire to see the world, or be constrained to do so only with slow means of transport largely incompatible with an ordinary working life.

If you are worried about planes, stick to boats and trains from now on. That’s better than most people will ever do.
