2022-02-21 18:44:34Even with a “climate emergency”, aviation remains deeply privileged! Travelling by train from near Manchester (UK) to Bergen (Norway), left Sunday evening, arrive Bergen Wednesday morning (60hours) + 6 hours to sort tickets, accommodation, etc! @UiBCET @CEMUSUPPSALA @jo_UoMEnergy
2022-02-21 18:15:21中国の国土は大体アメリカと同じ広さなので、アメリカと同じような車と飛行機中心の交通システムが出来上がっていたら、石油の消費量も、CO2排出量も激増していた。広大な国土に短期間で電車中心の交通システムを作り上げたことは、ある意味人類的な偉業である。

2022-02-19 14:01:17Heathrow Airport has updated its sustainability strategy with new targets on waste, water and carbon - but campaign groups have called the pledges to cut emissions "pifflingly small" with a "limited" scope. #aviation #greenwashing #Heathrow edie.net/news/13/Campai…
2022-02-12 17:49:00Flying in the 2010s: it was an act of extreme irresponsibility; Flying in 2022: it is an act of mass murder. ... Or are we still in denial on the moral implications of the science. @marksweney #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/f…

2022-02-09 19:30:00How @michaelgove's dept justified increasing flights in a #ClimateCrisis: “aviation emissions are not so significant that they would have a material impact on the gov.’s ability to meet its climate change target.” The planning inspectorate or the government must go. #ActNow pic.twitter.com/wh8YSfADGy
