- rcMgD2BwE72F 6y agoWhat is your source?
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoI seem to recall seeing a headline here on HN, within the last week, that said something along the lines of "Climate activists are the most frequent flyers", though I don't remember the exact words. Maybe somebody with better search-fu can find it?
- sjmulder 6y agoThis is a flame (or troll) and has no place on HN.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoI don't believe that's true, it is a valid point: a lot of us talk a good game about caring for the environment, but when push comes to shove we are unwilling to give up luxuries we've grown accustomed to.
- sjmulder 6y agoThat might be the case for many people^, bit it's a different thing to say than "these are, to a large extent, the same people who..." which imo is a flame if it goes without figures to back it up. ^) Although not for me, many people I know in the climate movement, and some figureheads like Greta Thunberg. There have also been comments from scientists who find having to fly to conferences problematic. But that's all anecdotal.
