Air travel may have to be rationed in the future says Government climate change advisers
Telegraph UK ^ | Louise Gray

The era of cheap air travel cannot continue, according to Government advisers, who have called for a global cap on aviation emissions to prevent catastrophic climate change. ....

However the Committee on Climate Change (CCC) fears unlimited growth of air travel will cause greenhouse gas emissions to increase and therefore cause global warming.

......

"You may want to go on holiday more that you do now. But you may not be able to do that in a carbon-constrained world," he said.

Air travel for the elites, not for us.

Instead of one big world where we meet and interact with people that will prevent tribal wars, or end world hunger we will settle into our little patches and over time look like africa.

These people are insane and the world is living in very peril times to be listening to these losers of life’s lottery.

These “Climate Change” morons won’t be happy until the world’s economies grind to a complete halt and no one has a job anymore.

But Nancy gets to keep her Gulfstream 5. And Obama can still use Air Force 1 to go out for drinks.

" These “Climate Change” morons won’t be happy until the world’s economies grind to a complete halt and no one has a job anymore. "

It's more hideous than just people losing their jobs.
If we were to look at this with insight and take it to it's logical end, they " Climate Change Masters " want mass genocide, with crops failing because farmers are not allowed to use water, people losing their jobs and no money to buy food, then you can see people will starve to death.

"Climate Change" is the phrenology of the 21st century.

One thing that has always been true is that climate will change. To pretend to be able to understand it and even influence it is fantasy about as reasonable as King Canute's demonstration that he didn't command the tides.

These morons biggest mistake is to assume that the "common folk" are as stupid as they are.

The good news is that they’ve cut down on air travel, the bad news is that hundreds of thousands of people are now driving to their destinations.

I’ve been wondering when we would see this type of proposal. In addition, we should eliminate all leisure sports. Think of all of the unnecessary carbon emissions resulting from Formula 1, NASCAR and the flights involved with moving NFL, NCAA, NBA, MLB, Golfers, etc.

All unecessary travel should be banned! (is a sarc tag really needed?)

would that ban extend to Congress. rock stars, persons of influence, etc? I though we fought a Revolution to get rid of the nobels and other such trash. The environmental anarchists are worse than most that have come before.

When we are shivering in a cave covered with leaves they will be happy is Key West.
