Thats not a need , its a desire. Its not even in the same ballpark.
Needs - in the sense implied by what you say - are very basic and are
satisfied by a medieval economy.
That really can't be what you mean, but it's what you are saying.
There needs to be a balance of desires against consequences. Currently wrt
air travel its baised way too far to the former. I'm not saying ban air
travel but I am saying that the presumption that constant growth must always
trump anything else is ********. There are enough aircraft flying into and
through the southeast already. If the air industry isn't satisfied with that
then tough ****. Screw them.
When if ever there are street protests and riots about people not being able
to book a last minute break to Ayia Napa for a hundred quid I might change
my mind. But somehow I don't see that happening.
