Roger Tyers of the University of Southampton argues that the 'flygskam' movement is gathering momentum. Despite flying being the single fastest way to grow our individual carbon footprint, people still want to fly. Passenger numbers even grew by 3.3 per cent globally last year alone. The hype around " Flygskam " - a global movement championed by climate activist Greta Thunberg that encourages people to stop travelling by plane - seems to have attracted more media attention than actual followers.
