Stock rotation continues
As it should. Stock markets are supposed to look well ahead and stocks which were beaten up badly due to the pandemic & lockdowns are going to benefit hugely when the world opens up again - the stocks which survive will blossom like fruit trees pruned back hard during winter.
Markets struggle with unexpected regulatory risk...climate change may well be the next black swan..
1% of people cause half of global aviation emissions – study climate change agenda defined?

“If you want to resolve climate change and we need to redesign [aviation], then we should start at the top, where a few ‘super emitters’ contribute massively to global warming,” said Stefan Gössling at Linnaeus University in Sweden, who led the new study.
The frequent flyers identified in the study travelled about 35,000 miles (56,000km) a year, Gössling said, equivalent to three long-haul flights a year, one short-haul flight per month, or some combination of the two.

wonder when NZ govt will relize nows the time
Yes, I agree there is a big risk to New Zealand on the horizon if the aviation comes under the gun for its contribution to climate change. Aviation is an "easy target". NZ would not be the same in many ways without easy, accessible, affordable domestic and international air travel. Well, it would be the same as it has been under covid.
