   Journalist: "So what do you think long-distance air travel is going to look like in 2050?"

   Climate Scientist *laughs derisively*: "By 2050, most long-distance holiday destinations will be uninhabitable, so I expect the majority of long-distance air traffic to be non-existent by 2050."

   Phew. Hadn't heard it THAT bleakly during a live interview yet.

     @tbaldauf DAMN. You can only do that stuff in live interviews because the media will 100% cut that out of ANY recording.

     @sciloqi @tbaldauf - The last great auks were killed by those supplying museums and collectors of dead birds precisely because they were becoming rarer and rarer. Now the Great Auk is extinct. I see the same mindset at play here.

     @tbaldauf then we should all hurry to see this places before it's too late! 😂 (sorry for misunderstanding. This was meant to be sarcastic. For sure these places don’t need more long-distance-traveling tourists)
