New twelve step programme required

Britain has become a nation of "flying junkies" who have done or are willing to do little to alter their lifestyles in the battle to combat climate change. In a Guardian/ICM poll only 20% of the public wanted to see higher airline taxes brought in to discourage air travel as opposed to 30% who wish to see these taxes reduced.

In my defence I travel by train whenever practical although I cannot honestly claim this as a sacrifice I have made to save the planet. I just prefer travelling by rail and couple with a pathological aversion to airports.
