At the end of September the Prime Minister induced mirth and outrage for pretending to ban a number of non-existent policies hypothetically designed to save the planet, such as a new flight tax. He would likely be joined by plenty of other travellers in pushing back against a system that makes you feel guilt about going on holiday. The report goes on to predict that certain destinations will fall out of favour as the climate changes. Travellers will have to 'chase the shade', choosing holidays based on cooler and safer destinations that are not ravaged by climate change. Destinations like Belgium, Slovenia and Poland are touted as the top future summer holiday destinations, as Majorca and Greece become too hot to handle. Low-lying destinations such as the Maldives and Jakarta will be nearly fully submerged a decade later. The rising earth's temperature will also mean destinations like Lapland will struggle to maintain their snowy allure, and ski seasons will become shorter than ever. The study also argues that over-tourism will become a more pressing issue as){kind=link}
