So the other night I'm watching the BBC news - and in the same programme they cover the upcoming UN climate change report... and a piece on a middle class family going on holiday to America and how they're worrying about their 'carbon footprint' (the message being: bad, bad air travel, bad. Yet there's never a mention of daily car travel - stand at any busy road and just count up how many people in cars are alone - just transporting all that empty air around with them. Day in day out.) All that guilt tripping (make sure you're using energy saving light bulbs - make sure you're recycling - etc.) then they ended with showing the volcanic eruption on Reunion Island. Mmmmmm - and not a mention of what carbon emissions that's got to be pumping out...
