Could the number of flights per person be limited? Norway is leading the way (tr)
Blue Swan ^ | 11/05/18

The number of flights being taken by the average person is increasing dramatically and the arrival of LCCs mean flying is more affordable for more people. Between 2005 and 2018 global passenger numbers more than doubled from around two billion to four billion and forecasts suggest that it could double again over the next 20 years. Is this growth manageable? One Norwegian politician believes that a cap should be placed on travellers, a seemingly impractical suggestion, but one that is sure to have support.

Summary:

As global air travel demand continues to rise, one Norwegian politician recommends a cap of 10 air journeys per year per citizen;

Norway is at the forefront of environmental protection where air travel is concerned and his views have received limited backing;

However, the proposition seems impractical but it will have its supporters, everywhere, not just in Norway.

Ridiculous.

In fact it is beyond ridiculous to set a limit.

Anyone who thinks CO2 is a dangerous pollutant should be limited to two flights per year. On any conveyance, no private plane exemption.

Why 10? Where does this number come from? If they really believe air travel is harmful, they should move to ban it all together.

The left means to impoverish us, imprison us, and kill us. Their goal is worldwide communist totalitarian tyranny.

Plan accordingly.

And you know they'll somehow find an exemption for him.

Unless you own your own private jet, of course.

The global corporate oligarchy is exempt.

We could start an exchange for air flights like carbon credits. I’ll sell 8 of my 10 allotment for the year.

It doesn’t take two flights to them to the insane asylum!
St most one, heck one car trip will probably do for most.

Why?

Watch the TV show Occupation to get a glimpse into the Norwegian psyche.

They are earnest and nuts.
