[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 7359136, member: 86168"] sly dig at you ! but if you totalled up the air miles used by holidaymakers, and the needless travel of food, as in scottish fish to thailand to be processed, and flown back for sale etc, suspect it would seriously reduce carbon production, but, of course, that wouldn't be a popular move, the public are moaning well at delayed/cancelled holidays now, with a real and present danger, so we can see, how easy it was to convince the public, that it was belching cows, (and including nz sheep), were the cause, not them. With the present concerns over climate change, i wonder when, or if, guvs start to reduce, or even tax, the unnecessary air travel, but it would be so unpopular with voters, it will be the 'if' not the 'when'. Going back to NZ lamb, which is shipped, not flown, there were some really interesting articles published a few years ago, about how you could put automatic sails on ships, reducing fuel requirements substantially, but that idea has probably bitten the dust. Pity because it looked sensible. [/QUOTE]
