I'm supposed to fly to Atlanta in June for a business trip. Not sure yet if the event will be canceled.
Already had my business trips to New Orleans and Chicago canceled this month. They might take place in August or September, haven't heard yet.

I read that the airlines are obligated to fly in order to qualify for the govt bailout.
So flights still operate with a skeleton crew and 10 or less passengers.

That sounds super smart considering global warming. Fuck the world, am I rite?

You are indeed correct. Stop the world and let me off.
We did it to ourselves. Created a system where it's more streamlined to grow cotton in Sri Lanka and use diesel ships the size of cities to ship the textiles to Taiwan or China for processing and more city sized ships to bring the clothes to the Western world.
Think locally. Build locally.
VPN to work.
Etc.

We're quietly hopeful our August cruise will happen, but the cruise line has been giving 125% credits back if you postpone and let them hang on to the money. So if it comes down to that, it's less disappointing to not go.

Actually cargo ships are a shit ton more environmentally friendly than you think. A very small percentage of food is freighted by air, so much so its fairly insignificant on the climate change front. Buying locsl doesnt scratch the surface and makes no difference so youre barking up the wrong tree.
Stat with your diet
Then your car
Then with having multpiple children
Then curb materialism
Then we have a ball game. Ive been a climate activist for 15 years. Dont fall for anti globalist and isolationist politics.
Cruises are already gross, so with all these ships being refused, you're out of your fucking mind. It will be years before I get on another cruise.
Cancel, then rebook. They'll probably give you your money back right now, but even if they give you a credit and the flights are cheaper, you're still ahead.

Those ships burn the lowest, dirtiest grade crude there is, measured in tons not gallons or liters, and are mostly filled full of consumerist crap nobody needs anyway, which also needlessly stripped more material from the earth and burned even more crude to produce, only to be thrown back in the earth in a non-biodegradable state, trashing up the place for a thousand years after we're dead and gone.
Still a risky proposition. You're relying on 98 other passengers and another 100 or so crew to do everything right. Betting on strangers right now isn't the smartest thing. One person gets it and you might as well roll a D20 to see if you're going to be able to disembark anytime soon.
