Flight prices will go up to buy offsets but most airports in Europe will remain open. The major airports are where US travelers tend to be flying into at any rate - this would impact European travelers more. But worth watching for certain, especially since I plan on traveling 3-6 months a year when I retire in 2-4 years at ~44-45. If I can’t travel outside of the US much, would force me back into corporate America to stay busy, ugh.
“Flight prices will go up to buy offsets but most airports in Europe will remain open.”
Offsets are a scam. CO2 that is emitted eight miles up stays in the atmosphere far, far longer than CO2 emitted at ground level.
There is also the matter of the US<->Europe flight paths that place those CO2 emissions in the northern latitudes near the ice of the Arctic, Greenland and Canadian fire areas.
I find it amazing that Reverend Gore’s flock does not scream about transatlantic air travel.
I am driving 2500 miles one way soon for a summer trip. Looking forward to burning all that gasoline.
The up side would be less terrorists and freebie grubbers flying into the US.
So your retirement is predicated on 3-6 months a year in Europe? Or go back into corporate hell? I guess you’ve seen all of the USA then. I’m in my 50s and have 1 state left to visit, and many sites in those states I didnt get to, but want to visit. That said I’d much rather spend my money in my own country, supporting our local business owners. Sometimes even the ones I shouldn’t, if I’m visiting a liberal place with things I want to see.
Spend your money in this country supporting our economy.
