So Newsnight's "Ethical Man" has hung up his trademark suit after a year of efforts to cut his carbon footprint..... and promptly announced he is taking his family of five on a plane to South America. As someone who has recently vowed to forego flights to try and help save the world I had to resist the urge to throw things at the telly. Having said that, his decision shows the political issue flying is to become. When a man who has spent a year worrying about the planet cannot resist the urge to fly, what hope for the politicians to persuade people who don't really care about the planet that there one pound trip to Prague is not really necessary?
....incidentally there is a poll on flying on Tory Radio.
