Carbon offsets used by major airlines based on flawed system, warn experts theguardian.com/environment/20…
2021-05-04 21:10:04Celebration time! As of today you will no longer see advertisements in the Amsterdam subway stations for air travel and for cars with fossil fuel engines. This is the first step by @AmsterdamNL to ban all fossil fuel advertising because of climate change! verbiedfossielereclame.nl/first-step-ams…
2021-05-03 17:19:12@GeorgeMonbiot Hi George, thanks for signing our pledge. Could you share with your followers? Suggested tweet here, but of course you can write anything you want: I have pledged not to fly in 2021 to avert climate breakdown #FlightFree2021 @FlightFreeUK flightfree.co.uk
2021-04-30 22:43:12A small Scottish Airport, in our own "Climate Leading" Nation, subsidised by the world's 55th Biggest Polluter, the US Military? And it's in public ownership? 🤯 Read more here in our polluter profile 👇 gcop.scot/prestwick-airp…
2021-04-29 21:00:06Welcome words today from the Portuguese Minister for Infrastructure: “I want railways to expand... and air travel of less than 600 kilometres to disappear from Europe.”
2021-04-20 03:27:48Yes, and more. France's ban includes very few routes. We're in a #ClimateEmergency, so government's actions have to live up to that. twitter.com/JeremyVineOn5/…
2021-04-20 02:44:25Is it time to end all domestic flights in mainland Britain? France is moving to bar people taking internal flights, if the journey can be done by train instead. We're a pretty small island - should we do the same? #JeremyVine pic.twitter.com/c4ZC9FpR0L
2021-04-19 01:46:28@GeorgeMonbiot I telephoned the Labour Party this morning to complain about what this flight to Edinburgh says and I was told "it is a balance between jobs and the environment." IT IS NOT!!! They are totally clueless.

2021-04-15 01:27:37“Sorry, we could have stopped catastrophic climate change but we didn’t want to track how many plane tickets each person bought in a year” is something I never want to say. bbc.com/news/science-e…
2021-04-14 14:20:182. The concern about air travel is not so much about its current levels, but about the very worrying *trend* it's on. Emissions from the housing sector are not sky-rocketing - in fact they're decreasing slowing. Air travel is... well look below twitter.com/giulio_mattiol…
2021-04-08 03:55:12...emissions from international aviation (which are *not* included in the transport total) have increased by +3.9% in the single year between 2017 and 2018. Domestic aviation +3.3%. International aviation emissions are up *+140%* since 1990 - 'just' +19% for domestic aviation pic.twitter.com/7IqsB0zt6I
2020-11-27 17:59:23It is *particularly inappropriate* to use that argument for air travel, for many reasons. 1. Air travel is incredibly *carbon intensive*. Perhaps the most carbon intensive way in which to use your time. If you fly, it probably accounts for a very large share of your emissions
2021-04-08 03:46:58A new report backs @TheGreenParty policy of a Frequent Flyer Levy. The report shows the poorest suffer the worst impacts of the #ClimateEmergency caused by the high-carbon lifestyles of the few. theguardian.com/world/2021/mar… pic.twitter.com/I0EMV3KAbv
2021-04-01 01:20:42Die Realität des Flugverkehrs: 90 % der Weltbevölkerung fliegen nicht. Ein kleiner Teil der Menschheit ist für den Großteil der Flüge und damit für deren Klimazerstörung verantwortlich. Eine noch kleinere Elite profitiert davon. Wichtiger neuer Bericht: theguardian.com/world/2021/mar…
2021-03-31 19:06:05Brits have known for a while that 70% of flights are made by a just 15% of the population. Now we know it’s a global problem. In the US, 12% of people take 66% of all flights. In France 2% of people take half of them. theguardian.com/world/2021/mar…

2021-03-31 10:13:091% of people cause HALF of global aviation Emissions 👀✈️💎 ONLY 11% of world’s population flew in 2018.. 4% ABROAD US passengers have BIGGEST #carbonfootprint among rich countries, It's#aviation emissions BIGGER than NEXT 10 countries combined 😳 theguardian.com/business/2020/…
2021-03-31 10:13:08Time to ration flying - #climateaction CO2 emitted from one round-trip flight from New York to London totals about 1,259 pounds per passenger — that's more than the average citizen of Kenya (and more than 30 other countries) emits over a full year treehugger.com/environmental-…
