Baffled
I never really understood why flying can work out cheaper than catching a train. Something a bit wrong there.I can well imagine the thrill of flying small aircraft. I once had a trip in a glider which was sublime.
Unfortunately many of the things we love add to global emissions and small planes are amongst them. Basically we all need to go back to trains. But due to the naked greed of the capitalist system trains are far, far too expensive in many countries. Plus the rich are far too obsessed with speed to take the time to travel economically by the least polluting means. And since the rich and the capitalists rule the world......
Trains can be a lot more convenient too. How many cities have an airport right in the centre where you want to be?
