SInce we’re talking climate change I think we should bring back airships for short-haul flights. The fact it floats with little effort means less fuel is needed.

    Filling party balloons with hydrogen world be significantly safer than airships, all without expending a rare resource. Even if you put a flame to one, the (tiny) blast would be anything but lethal. Worst case, some mild burns.

      This sounds far more fun, tbh. Just be sure to warn Uncle Dennis not to stand too close if he’s hairsprayed his quiff.

        Instead of blowing out birthday candles, one need only torch their balloons for a little extra fun!
