They were just referring to the amount of airline fuel demand. Its amazing it amounted to around 10million barrels of oil per day before COVID. It probably wont reach that level again until end 2022. Think the impact on the holiday sector will be that many countries will remain closed to tourism for a lot longer than initially expected. Very few of the Asian countries are allowing overseas tourists even if UK has added them to the travel list.
If I was Piskie I would be moving into a tent and advertising my house for cottage holidays.
It was always going to take a crisis event for business and govt to make the shift to a truly green agenda. They were never going to do it off their own backs.
I have thought about it mate.
And some of my friends actually do that in the summer. Move into static Caravans, Tents or Vans and rent out their houses for a mint
I don’t agree completely as the shift was already very much on the agenda and the oil giants were already investing heavily in renewable power, what COVID has done is massively accelerate the process.
A German football team lost 37-0 to their local rivals after fielding only seven players who socially distanced throughout the match.
Ripdorf fielded the minimum number of players on Sunday because their opponents SV Holdenstedt II came into contact in a previous game with someone who tested positive for Covid-19.
Their team tested negative but Ripdorf said the conditions were not safe.
If Ripdorf had not played, they would have faced a €200 (£182) fine.
They had asked for the match - in the 11th tier of German football - to be postponed but the local association refused.
Ripdorf said they did not feel safe as at the time of the game 14 days had not yet passed since Holdenstedt players had come into contact with the person who tested positive.
Holdenstedt's first team did not play in the match and the club fielded their second team.
At the beginning of the match, one of Ripdorf's players stepped onto the pitch, passed the ball to an opponent and the team then walked to the sidelines.
Ripdorf co-chair Patrick Ristow told ESPN: "The Holdenstedt players did not understand. But we did not want to risk anything."
He added of his players: "They did not go into direct duels and observed the social distancing rules, keeping two metres between them and Holdenstedt players."
Holdenstedt did not hold back, scoring a goal every two or three minutes.
"There was no reason not to play this game," Holdenstedt coach Florian Schierwater said.

Bryan Robson wishes he’d thought of this.

Ripdorf? Hm. Sounds like someone’s been Mugdorf
I wouldn’t say that they were heavily investing. Shell and Total still had something like 90% of their Capital investments in fossil fuels.
But yes they were beginning to move in the right direction. As they know simply from a commercial perspective that if they don’t invest in renewables, then they are toast. And like you say Covid has massively accelerated the process.
About ****ing time really as on the previous trajectory there was no chance of meeting our carbon zero targets
The strategy is to bury their heads in the sand and hope it goes away.
‘one brief phone call since 28th may’ Drakeford reporting on Boris’ engagement with the first ministers of the devolved nations
Sounds about right. Boris is notoriously workshy, for a start, and it’s said by those who know him that he’s never worked more than a four hour day since leaving Eton.
Meanwhile Cummings, who is actually running the country, is not the sort of guy to show even basic courtesy, let alone respect, to anyone beyond the inner circle.
Why should he, mate? They’ve chosen to go it alone when it comes to Covid strategy.
He’s the Prime Minister of Great Britain isn’t he? That includes Wales, and Scotland too for the time being.
Theres a clue in the UBI though isnt there ?
Does that mean that people should just get used to living a life based on just the basic stuff in life ?
