Reacting to the report issued last week by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

“…My wife and I realized that the ‘substantial and sustained reductions’ called for by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had to start with us. World governments will never agree in time to coordinate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. If anything is to change, it will have to come from individuals taking ownership of the problem themselves.

“And that’s why my wife and I suddenly knew we could never fly again.”
