62 degrees. India reports about 10 percent of its heat deaths as such. The current extreme heat wave in Pakistan and India as seen today, on the fourth intense hot day, by LST (Land Surface Temperature, not Air!). LST collected on April 29 shows a maximum value greater than 62 °C/143 °F. Gaps due to cloudy/snow/nodata. #climate #hittegolf #tourism

One of the causes is flying around the world

Even the creator of the Lonely Planet travel guide is wondering what he did.

When did the “homo turisticus” enter our society? Travelling has, of course, been there for as long as humanity has existed - in that respect, man has always been a “homo migratus” - but really travel to travel and experience strange and distant peoples and landscapes? When did we start doing that?

For years, the VVD has been working on that ridiculous “hub function” of Schiphol. 70% of travelers only come there to switch, a switch that they rarely make due to delay, Prutsers.

It's not just the planes that pollute the planet. What do you think of all the traffic on the road?.

Show more @Ingeborgenzwerm On a long-haul flight, four bathtubs of kerosene per person pass through, replacing the single glass in your home with insulating glass? One return trip to Rome and the CO2 you saved in a year has already been emitted. Do you only have environmentally friendly LED lights in your home? The CO2 profit that you can achieve in seven years is gone with one flying holiday to Crete. Etc, etc. Aircraft manufacturers Boeing and Airbus both expect aviation to build 40,000 new aircraft over the next twenty years. This leads to a doubling of the current global fleet. And because all those new aircraft are going to fly on kerosene for at least twenty or thirty years, the CO2 emissions are going through the roof. Sustainable flying does not exist.
