big-blue, you are obviously well educated, but you have an overly negative slant on the current travel industry and carbon generating businesses. I'm well invested here, also in BP and Shell, but also SSE. We need change but that'll take 10 - 15 years whatever protests, etc.. are going on. Yes, politicians operate mainly to maintain their votes, but there are currently too many high carbon generating activities on Earth that humans' lives are entangled in to change our way of living any faster than 10 - 15 years. Planes, cars, heating systems, plastics, cows/beef, etc... Most people don't protest. The images on media of thousands protesting looks impressive, but a low % of total adult population. As long as the COP Summit presents a reasonable plan, and yes the usual anti-carbon fanatics will want more speed (they always do), there'll be majority acceptance. The COP attendees will mostly fly in also !! So no worries, ignore the 'noise' !!
