"Flight Shame"2?

Just after writing my post about "Flight Shaming" -
Fiction Prediction, "Flight Shame" and 'A Gift of Wings'?
I see the head of Emirates Airlines in the news saying how bad air travel is ... and is going to be for the world in the years ahead.
He must really like his job don't you think?-)
Airline boss’s grim warning about climate change
The hardest thing is the flying side of things
"“The approach to climate change, and how you pull all the levers and press all the buttons has got to be holistic,” he said.
“If you look at the Europeans, the French do one thing, the Dutch do another, the Germans do another, the Brits do something else. There is no homogeny in all of that.”Air travel across the world accounts for about 2.5 per cent of the world’s emissions.
For Emirates, fuel accounts for more than 30 per cent of the company’s running costs. In 2018-19 its fuel bill was $13 billion.
Sir Tim admitted the aviation industry could do more to tackle the climate crisis. But he also said the rest of the world needed to step up.
And while the world can’t agree on how to tackle climate change, nothing will be done.
“The United States is not at the top level a believer in climate change,” he said in reference to US President Donald Trump.
“Brazilians don’t share the view. Australia is very interested, but you’ve got some hardliners on both sides.
“Recent events like Extinction Rebellion and Greta – these are wake-up calls, they are alarm bells going off – they’re not going to solve the problem, they’re just telling us that we’re not moving at a pace we should be moving to deal with it, and everybody’s got to do it.”
But Sir Tim said one of the biggest issues in tackling climate change was the lack of a united effort.
He suggested the easiest way to deal with the issue was taxing big polluters, with that money then invested into developing synthetic and renewable fuels."
"flight shamers" need to calm down a little and stop acting like it's the end of the world.
But it might not hurt to assume the crash position, just in case;-)
Putting Out the Fires With Kerosene?!
