FLIGHT-SHAMING CATCHING ON IN EUROPE
Powerline ^ | 13 Oct 2019 | John Hinderaker

There are a number of things that climate activists don’t want the rest of us to do, like eating meat and flying on airplanes. They seem to have decided that discouraging flying is a better bet than compulsory vegetarianism, so several European countries are moving in that direction.

In Sweden, the government “is considering making it mandatory for travel companies to declare the climate impact of their long-haul trips.”

The companies should inform customers of the climate impact of long-haul trips when advertising or selling tickets, the government said on Friday.

There’s a bridge from Malmö SE to Denmark now so you can take a train.

I,like many Freepers,have taken one or two long haul flights in my day.I have another one booked for January.

And I don't feel the slightest guilt...any more than algore feels guilt for his private Learjet (or is it a 787?).

From article: “What we are seeing is really a set of religious rituals. Some amorphous evil is in prospect, and many people fervently want to believe that by making small sacrifices–in olden times, killing an animal and burning its entrails, today, cutting down on air travel or not eating meat–the evil can be averted. This has nothing to do with reality, let alone science. But it satisfies an atavistic human need.”

That’s the short of it.

I hope they convince a lot of people not to fly. So I can get back to the good old days with empty middle seats. Free drinks and Uncrowded airports.

That’s like every burger chain warning their customers eating hamburgers in excess will kill you. Yeah, that’s a great marketing move. Good grief.

You can travel as Greta Thunberg did. Sail across the ocean in an allegedly carbon free yacht/sailboat.

They probably polluted the ocean with waste and garbage.

Things they don’t want? Maybe they should try a fat lip on.

Yet liberals won’t tell migrants to stop traveling the world to lift up their standard of living in the West.

Instead of flying 2,400 miles from TN to CA, I drive my 2018 Navigator. Gee, TS, I’m burning more gas than I would jet fuel flying 1st class. FU, Greta, you insane retard who ought to be in a “special school” and all you other communist greenies.

This is toxic femininity as a political weapon. Shaming. Shunning dissidents. Shutting people down by nagging them or organizing groups to exclude them. Constant nagging to do this and that, never letting up, because they say it is for your own good.

“Carbon free,” except it was made almost entirely of carbon fiber. And, how’s sweet little Greta going to get home??
