Wonderful sentiments, and sadly, unfortunately that ship sailed a long time ago. Just like I’d love to go to gigs where when I stand up and get into the music the person behind doesn’t tut tut.
Could go either way thinking about it.
I know some acts have a thing that they only announce after shows they were doing what the next plans are so as not to jeopardise ticket sales, but equally, selling out the UK arena tour and the fact he's announcing big summer Euro shows in places he's also got solo shows for in the spring (i.e. both Brussels and Werchter) means maybe we'll hear something sooner rather than later.
That might be easier said than done, and that was before the American decision and a couple of climate-sceptic parties getting into power in Europe. At the very least I'd believe we'd be making progress if we can finally convince the ultra-rich to kick having such a private jet addiction.
One thing I read this morning is that we were actually on track for worse. At present we're forecast for 3C above pre-industrial, widely seen as being a disaster, but 15 years ago, the data was suggesting 6C, which is basically the apocalypse. But it's also a disappointment that we're currently on track for not even a quarter of the 40%+ emission reductions believed to be required and some are already acting like that's job done.
