A report commissioned by the UK government's official environmental advisers is calling to ban frequent flyer reward schemes to discourage people from traveling by air.
**SNIP**
The report has also proposed an "air miles levy" to target frequent flyers while protecting those who don't travel as much or travel shorter distances.
By placing the levies on frequent flyers, rather than a flat fuel tax, those who don't fly as often would in theory not be disproportionately affected.
"Aviation has so far enjoyed generous tax treatment despite a large proportion of flights being taken by a small, wealthy segment of the population," the report said.
"Given that there is a finite budget of carbon emissions allowable if global warming is to be held below 1.5 degrees, the highly uneven distribution of emissions due to flying raise equity concerns."

Climate change researchers with degrees in LGBT studies recommend...
And the wealth redistribution underpinnings of the climate scam show through just a little bit....
All climate researchers should be put on no fly lists.
Absolute Communists, errr, Democrats
These frequent flyer rewards are aiding businesses in an important function of their operations: communications. This is a phony remedy on climate change in order to hit the real enemy of these Marxists: Capitalism. Air travel is safer and actually an energy saver in costs per mile.
No Government worker may fly until the climate is Right!
This needs to go viral. What say you?
Why not just outlaw advertising by airlines, just like tobacco advertising was outlawed?
Or why not just tell all the airlines to shut down because you don’t like them?

Heavens, NO!!! She can go back first class, if she leaves yesterday.
These are all places holding climate conferences in 2019, and this is not a complete list. This is the academic lifestyle, and these holier than thou butt-heads should put their lifestyle where their rhetoric is.
Put both kids college education on the American Airlines card, plus we pay as many monthly bills with it as possible. I’d pay the house payment with it if I could (I asked). But we always pay the card’s full balance due every month...never ever run a balance.
I recommend cutting climate change researchers.
If my older brother had had long hair and a braid when he was a kid he would have looked exactly like Greta Whatshername.
Weird.
Do these people not realize that most of the people racking up FF miles would already PREFER to be traveling less often?
Most are not doing it for fun, of if it is fun at first, it becomes a grind real quick.
Just another example of how out of touch with everyday people these warriors are.
that would do away with a lot of hot air..

The jackoffs who prepared that BS "report" should be hunted down like dogs. Thanks Libloather.
My question is what was the total number of Gulfstream IV vs Gulfstream V that flew into Davos for this past years Global Warming fandango?

I sincerely, well almost sort of sincerely, apologize for the horrible thing that I have done. Almost, almost, do I feel sorry and apologize to the many folks, that have been my passengers, for the evil that they have done because of my professional efforts to house and clothe my family through the 38+ years I was involved in polluting the Earth.
