Well, it doesn't seem to be working....

In fact, air travel here rose 3.9% in the first five months of 2019 (while decreasing by a comparable percentage in Sweden) and global forecasts for air travel continue to rise according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).  

That said, while few Americans have actually heard of the European "flight shame" movement, a North American strain is already emerging.  One can already draw similarities and parallels to flygskam from American politicians — Democrats in particular — with their proposals for some sort of "Green New Deal" having more urgent and radical iterations that could drastically alter today's expectations and ability to fly by air.

Hopefully, Greta Thunberg and her commie family will be ‘flight shamed’ for flying all over North America, politicizing oil usage. That family is SOOO HYPOCRITICAL.

Good for them. The less they fly, the cheaper it gets for me to fly.

i don’t like to fly, but may have to now.

Last time I checked, it was still a lot cheaper to fly than choo-choo. I bet cheap wins.

All those socialists can just spend the entire winter in the cold instead of a warm tropical beach. And pay out the nose for heat.

Europe? That’s somewhere east of here isn’t it?

[John O]

So the stinky liberals are going to stop flying???

Excellent news!!!

[Billthedrill]

Not good enough, Comrades! We must blockade airports and physically assault passengers in the name of non-violence!

Nagging, shaming, shunning and emotional blackmail have been weaponized for political purposes.
