I read a very interesting article about "doom travel" today.  It used to be people people traveled to foreign places never seen by man, or so thought so.  Now they're traveling to see the last of the glaciers, the last of the polar bears, the last of the indigenous Indians, and the last of the Amazon as we now it.

The point being that such expensive "doom travel" often makes the situation worse in the places they are visiting, such as huge cruise ships in the Arctic and Antarctic, including lots of jets and all kinds fuels for a huge carbon footprint.  Sounds perverted, almost.

Onward through the fog
