Dr. Peter Sutoris explains the impact of this in this new article undark.org/2024/04/11/opi…, he's pushing through at least one of the guardrails Chris Shaw identifies
Albert Pinto Chris Shaw The problem was always the desire to make dealing with climate change 1) a cost-benefit analysis driven exercise and 2) focusing on policy vs demand side actions. The former always runs into issues of tractability and cost while the latter builds resentment for govt decisions
🚨Great new research on European attitudes to flying More in Common
Key findings:
✈️Most would fly MORE if they could
😳Flight shame is a minority view
👎People don't trust airlines on climate
💷Age+income, not climate concern, drive flying behaviour
