Thought for the day

“There’s a huge difference between what people say and what they do. Look at all the websites where you can take a flight and offset your carbon. Only about 1% do it.

From an interview with Bjorn Lomborg, statistician and author of ‘The Skeptical Environmentalist’ in the Sunday Times.
