I have pledged not to fly in 2021 to avert climate breakdown. And forever beyond that. Might I tempt you to do the same? #FlightFree2021 @FlightFreeUK flightfree.co.uk
2021-03-12 03:05:45I remember when academics used to fly back and forth across the Atlantic to give 15 minute presentations. That was unreasonable.

2021-02-15 02:19:19Fundamentally, the problem is too much money. However green a person thinks they are, their destructive impacts match their spending. The more you spend, the more you destroy. We all deceive ourselves about the amount of harm we do. Gates turns out to be no exception.
2021-02-15 01:53:08Even if there were enough space for offsets, there would still be problems: most offsets do not work. Moreover, many have negative side effects such as human rights violations and ecological destruction. twitter.com/GeorgeMonbiot/… pic.twitter.com/A4AgdmcQjz
2021-02-15 02:17:19The same goes for his claim to be offsetting his vast carbon footprint. There is simply no atmospheric space left for offsets, especially if they're used to justify such profligacy. Every sector needs to be decarbonised. Offloading cuts onto other sectors solves nothing.
2021-02-15 01:48:59True @GeorgeMonbiot, "sustainable aviation fuels" are not a thing today. See: stay-grounded.org/e-fuels-a-real… and: stay-grounded.org/get-informatio… twitter.com/GeorgeMonbiot/… pic.twitter.com/U7irygAMsR
2021-02-15 02:14:34Gates's claim to be using "sustainable aviation fuel" in his private jets is just nonsense. Because of jets' vast energy demand, there is currently no fuel that can be sustainably scaled. Biofuel for jets means massive ecological destruction.
2021-02-15 01:44:53With covid vaccines comes talk of a return to business-as-usual for the aviation industry. 😨 #tellthetruth: We can't get to zero emissions unless we stop flying. Time to choose: airlines✈️or life 🌏. ft.com/content/e00819…

2021-01-24 06:15:35Sorry for the downer but what source is Boeing going to get its biofuels crop from? Someone's food? nature's forest or wild area? Soil's waste nutrient source? Etc etc. Land & soil are at a premium. Let's not burn them in the air... theguardian.com/us-news/2021/j…?
2021-01-23 18:56:06I'm sorry but what the (flying) fuck is this tweet? Flying is FAR from carbon neutral, the driving to London is frankly inconsequential compared to it - #greenwashing at its finest... Also to whoever runs your socials, it's not too late to leave your job and join the rebellion! twitter.com/BristolAirport…
2021-01-23 09:59:40Did you know that each year around 157,000 tonnes of carbon could be saved by customers flying local from Bristol Airport rather than driving to London Airports? This is the equivalent of 68 million litres of fuel or 17.7 billion phone charges #CarbonNeutral2025 #YourLocalAirport pic.twitter.com/1auKQcI433
