Seems flyers are going to have to curb their excessive wander lust in
the not too distant future. Also, does this mean there will be no
Heathrow third runway? I certainly hope so!
"More than $100 billion (£50.2 billion) of aircraft orders could be
cancelled or postponed in the next couple of years as the high price
of fuel drives airlines into bankruptcy or forces them to cut
spending.
Analysts estimate that 20 to 30 per cent of the $530 billion order
backlog held by Boeing and Airbus, the aircraft manufacturers, could
be cancelled or delayed as the aviation industry heads towards a
winter of turmoil. These cancellations would have a significant impact
on aerospace suppliers such as Rolls-Royce, the engine maker..."
"..The high price of fuel has already forced more than 20 airlines
worldwide out of business and many more are expected to enter
bankruptcy this year as their costs rise and passenger demand drops
because of the economic slowdown in the United States and Europe..."

Hopefully people will stop the completely unnecessary importation of food
and other goods by air. Don't you agree Doug?

Yes I agree, along with many other very much greater energy saving
measures, like holidays abroad and other forms of excessive travel,
including cars.
A means should be sought for the UK to become self-sufficient in food
during the winter, without using fossil fuel heated greenhouses, extra
freezers, and without wasting land-space on aggrofuels and inefficient
meat rearing, while still preserving a healthy diet. For centuries in
our northern climate we have needed to import food mainly because of
the difficulty of feeding ourselves adequately in winter. Also, a
means should be found of not having to make so many individual car
journeys to buy food.

Ah but like the rest of the now very silent feet shuffling GW brigade,
he changed the cry to climate change, never again to mention GW in the
hope that people wouldn't notice.

Wouldn't notice what, the fact that after a short spell of un expectedly
warmer than average temperatures the last decade has been cooler (some may
even use the term regression to mean but that could confuse the
ecomentalists), or that the unusually warm temperatures coincided with a
period of higher than average solar activity?
