Air travel remains artificially cheap despite its massive drain on the environment. It’s time for change.
The cost of flying must reflect the enormous harm the aviation industry is causing to our planet.

Astonishing video, worth watching in full.
While agreeing in the round,
I've found this (below) both reassuring and highlighting of the need for constant vigilance. There is no perfect end state. See if you can see where the 'thousand year reich' occurs (also, that Roman Empire lasted quite a while).

Big important read below. It details the planetary crisis we are in, and where we are heading. The constant push for growth and exploitation of finite resources have put our biosphere in peril in a remarkably small time frame. Urgent collective and brave political actions were never more needed.

A good, no great, technology news story.
Sub-$20/kWh sodium-ion batteries are here today. They're light enough for smaller, moderate range EVs and extremely durable. This would have been a science fiction price a decade ago.

1978 David Attenborough - ‘And because Homo sapiens always wants more, the next stage was inevitable. Whole habitats would soon start to disappear.’
