Waveney and Tim confess their flying sins and dig into just how harmful plane travel is to our planet. We chat about how the effect of releasing harmful substances at high altitude is even more damaging to the atmosphere, how gains in plane designs have been gobbled up by huge increase in air travel and how planes' emissions alone could make up our entire carbon budget by 2050. Wave's gran was right along - it's the planes changing the climate!

Top tip: Try traveling by plane less and always offset with you fly. Think about having a holiday closer to home and using rail when possible.
