Loved it. Incidentally, the man this might be aimed at, Michael O'Leary CEO of "no-frills" airline Ryanair, sounds off about global warming occasionally. Of course, he is treated by the media as some sort of guru because he is rich and successful (think of Donald Trump, but skinnier). The usual shite "They can't predict the weather etc." ... O'Leary fears carbon tax on jet fuel.
"... if we learn that the world’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2000 were 34 billion tons of CO2-equivalent per year, then we can instantly note, without a calculator, that the average emissions per person are 5 or 6 tons of CO2-equivalent per person per year. This rough answer is not exact, but it’s accurate enough to inform interesting conversations. For instance, if you learn that a round-trip intercontinental flight emits nearly two tons of CO2 per passenger, then knowing the average emissions yardstick (5-and-a-bit tons per year per person) helps you realize that just one such plane-trip per year corresponds to over a third of the average person’s carbon emissions."

Brilliant, still trying to pick myself up off the floor but,
ReplyDeleteI now need to wash the screen and get a new keyboard fixed up. Good news is that will be cheaper than one of those "50p" flights.
I bet a certain Mr Michael ain't pleased. Fecking good!
Wow...this blog is STILL running? I see the same inbred commenters as many months ago. Pile on, folks!!
