"His posts smack of 'My way or no way'."

I'm flattered that you'd think me responsible for humanity's understanding of climatology, ecology, geology and meteorology, but I must inform you that I'm really not that clever. So it's not 'my way'; it's basic facts of what happens when you put certain gases into the atmosphere.

I wonder which of the following you dispute:

- Climate change poses a serious threat that will almost certainly lead to major famine, and in the longer term threatens the ability of Earth to sustain human life.

- Climate change is exacerbated by the release of gases from the burning of fossil fuels

- Passenger aviation contributes more greenhouse gases than is sustainable

If you disagree, please do say which and why.

If you agree, then surely to continue flying is a declaration that the passenger's immediate convenience means more than the lives of people yet to come, a statement you contested.

It certainly is important that you and your staff and all of your families are fed. However, as there are methods of doing it that live within sustainable limits, it's really not life and death, just convenience.
