- happyopossum 4y agoWait, we're talking about not flying somewhere due to the environmental impact. Are you now suggesting that we should not heat our homes due to same?
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoThere are ~100,000 flights per day. Who cares?
- kevinventullo 4y agoHow many plastic bottles of water are carbon-equivalent to taking a single international flight?
- bluescrn 4y agoIt's about the image. There's no attempt to lead by example. Get some good PR photos of the rich+powerful travelling economy-class then cycling from the hotel to the event, maybe? They're making it so obvious that the 'ruling class' are going to place the entire burden of climate change reduction on the less well-off parts of society, people for whom the loss of their car will be devastating, people who can barely afford to heat their homes already, people who can only dream of the hugely expensive green tech (EVs, solar, heat pumps, etc) being sold to the middle-class and up as some sort of solution.
